On Monday, Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro spoke of his wish that legislators will agree with him to loosen the country’s criminal code in order to capture more criminals, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLLxBxN87ZE">saying,</a> “These guys [criminals] are going to die in the streets like cockroaches, and that&#8217;s how it should be.” He added, “We have to give a legal back up to the security people: civil, military, federal, road police.”
<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7327313/Jair-Bolsonaro-says-criminals-die-like-cockroaches-passes-new-laws.html">The Daily Mail</a> added, “Bolsonaro said the &#8216;unequal&#8217; battle against crime is hindered by policemen being prosecuted for shooting gangsters rather than given medals.”
According to <a href="https://g1.globo.com/rj/rio-de-janeiro/noticia/2019/05/03/rj-bate-recorde-na-apreensao-de-fuzis-em-2019-numero-de-mortes-por-intervencao-policial-e-o-maior-nos-ultimos-20-anos.ghtml">Globo</a>, the Rio de Janeiro Military Police Secretariat issued a statement asserting that &#8220;the operations of the Corporation are guided by prior planning and carried out within the law. In actions in conflagrated areas, the mission of the Military Police is primarily the arrest of criminals and the apprehension of weapons and drugs. Often, however, criminals opt for confrontation, starting the confrontation. When the police operation results in deaths or injuries, a Military Police Inquiry is opened to ascertain the circumstances of the fact … in relation to the numbers of the Institute of Public Security (ISP) for March, the most important is to highlight the 32% drop in intentional homicides, representing the lowest rate for the month in 28 years. The indicator lethality violent crime also decreased by 24% compared to March 2018.”
The Daily Mail added, “In addition, Rio&#8217;s Public Security Institute found that record numbers of firearms had been seized from would-be criminals in the first quarter of this year.” Foreign Policy noted in April:
<blockquote>One of the world’s most homicidal countries just registered the sharpest overall decline of lethal violence in its history. Brazil’s murder rate dropped by a <a href="https://www.ozy.com/fast-forward/bolsonaros-crime-crackdown-sparks-rise-in-police-killings/93089">whopping 13 percent</a> between 2017 and 2018, from more than 59,000 people killed to just over 51,000. And homicides fell by <a href="https://g1.globo.com/monitor-da-violencia/noticia/2019/04/18/brasil-registra-queda-de-25percent-nos-assassinatos-nos-dois-primeiros-meses-do-ano.ghtml">25 percent</a> in the first two months of 2019 compared with the same period last year. … Even better, the recent murder decline is nationwide, although some states witnessed <a href="https://g1.globo.com/monitor-da-violencia/noticia/2019/04/18/monitor-da-violencia-acompanha-de-perto-a-tendencia-de-queda-dos-homicidios-no-brasil.ghtml">greater improvements</a> than others: Alagoas, Acre, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Rio Grande do Sul, and Santa Catarina all saw murder rates fall by between 21 and 24 percent over the past year. Massive states such as Bahia, Ceará, Paraná, and São Paulo registered declines of between 10 and 15 percent.</blockquote>
In February, <a href="https://www.insider.com/brazil-homicide-rate-dropped-experts-still-worried-2019-2">Insider.com</a> noted, “Brazil reduced its homicide rate by 13% last year, ending a years-long streak of record violence, according to a new report released Wednesday. The <a href="https://bit.ly/2H4dx6V">annual Monitor of Violence report</a> recorded a rate of 24.7 homicides per 100,000 in 2018, the lowest since its records began in 2011. The overall number of homicides was 51,000, a seven-year low.”
When he campaigned for the presidency last year, Bolsonaro tweeted, “Our concern and our priority are good people. I&#8217;ve always said it: I prefer a prison full of criminals than a cemetery full of innocents. If space is missing, we build more!”
<a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bolsonaro-brazil-criminal-code-police-killings-far-right-interview-a9040796.html">The Independent</a> noted, “The hardline president is famous for favouring the aphorism “a good criminal is a dead criminal” and has <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/brazil-guna-laws-bolsonaro-carry-public-firearms-murder-a8878661.html">often spoken of his plans to make it easier for people to carry guns in public</a>.”

On Tuesday, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro met with President Donald Trump at the White House, where the two leaders signaled a new relationship for the countries based on their shared goals of defeating socialism, improving trade, and exposing fake news.
Trump started off by congratulating Bolsonaro on his election victory. &#8220;Last October was an incredible feat,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;And really a truly incredible challenge and the end result was something the whole world was talking about.&#8221;
Trump predicted that they would &#8220;have a fantastic working relationship&#8221; and noted that they &#8220;have many views that are similar.&#8221; 
&#8220;I think Brazil&#8217;s relationship with the United States because of our friendship is probably better than it&#8217;s ever been by far,&#8221; Trump stated.
Trump also thanked Bolsonaro and the people of Brazil for providing aid to those suffering under the socialist dictatorship in Venezuela. &#8220;I also want to express our profound gratitude to President Bolsonaro and all the Brazilian people for their effort to provide humanitarian aid,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;We also thank you for allowing the United States to station extensive assistance and massive aid on the Brazilian border. The Brazilian people have been incredible.&#8221;
Trump then turned to socialism, declaring &#8220;the twilight hour of socialism has arrived in our hemisphere.&#8221; 
&#8220;Hopefully, by the way, it&#8217;s also arrived &#8212; that twilight hour &#8212; in our great country,&#8221;Trump added, referencing a rise in Democrats identifying themselves as democratic socialists. 
&#8220;The last thing we want in the United States is socialism,&#8221; Trump emphasized.
Prior to Bolsonaro taking office, Brazil was controlled by a socialist administration and Bolsonaro &#8212; who ran against several socialists &#8212; was seen as &#8220;one of Brazil&#8217;s last hopes against socialism,&#8221; The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/36117/7-things-you-need-know-about-trump-brazil-who-kassy-dillon">noted</a>.
During their 25 minute joint press conference, Trump also said he intends to designate Brazil as a major non-NATO ally &#8212; a status that would allow Brazil to have easier access to the purchase of U.S. military equipment. Trump added that he would possibly support Brazil becoming a NATO ally, though there is some <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2019/03/19/trump-tropics-bolsonaro-visits-white-house/ipSDA9YWQ1lo5b3gC6fLpM/story.html">dispute</a> if Brazil would even qualify.
Trump also stressed that he and Bolsonaro share views on economics and trade. &#8220;In our meetings, we also discussed the strong economic ties between our nations grounded in the principles of fairness and reciprocity &#8212; my favorite word, reciprocity. President Bolsonaro and I are both committed to reducing trade barriers, facilitating investment, and supporting innovation across a range of industries, particularly energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and technology,&#8221; he said.
Trump applauded Bolsonaro&#8217;s capitalist views, stating that American companies are &#8220;ready to go&#8221; and invest in Brazil when Bolsonaro accomplishes his vision of &#8220;freeing the private sector and opening the economy.&#8221;
When it was Bolsonaro&#8217;s turn to speak, he invited Trump to visit Brazil, assuring him he would &#8220;be very welcomed by the Brazilian people,&#8221; adding that he has &#8220;always admired&#8221; the U.S. but that his sense of admiration increased when Trump took office.
Bolsonaro earned the nickname &#8220;Trump of the Tropics&#8221; for his similarities to Trump, including disliking political correctness and running a campaign that highly relied on social media as opposed to the mainstream media.
&#8220;Today,&#8221; he said, &#8220;Brazil has a president who is not anti-America, which is unprecedented in the past few decades.&#8221; The two countries &#8220;are tied by the guarantee of liberty, respect for the traditional family, the fear of God our creator, against gender identity, political correctness and fake news,&#8221; Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-brazil/trump-endorses-bolsonaro-at-white-house-mulls-bringing-brazil-into-nato-idUSKCN1R01VV">reported</a>.
&#8220;Drawing inspiration from Ronald Reagan, I wish to bring to bring to Brazil his administration style, summarized with the following: &#8216;People should say what the government should do, and not the other way around,&#8217;&#8221; Bolsonaro said.
Establishing democracy in Venezuela is also &#8220;a shared interest&#8221; between the two countries, Bolsonaro stated. 
While taking questions from reporters, Trump took a moment to recognize Bolsonaro&#8217;s son, Brazilian Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro.
&#8220;I see in the audience, the son of the president, who has been fantastic. Would you please stand up?&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;The job you&#8217;ve done during a very tough period of time is just fantastic, and I know your father appreciates it, that I can tell you.&#8221;
Eduardo has been a strong supporter of American conservatism. As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/37876/brazil-surges-toward-american-conservatism-kassy-dillon">reported</a>, Eduardo has Reagan and Trump statues in his offices, along with a picture frame displaying the text of the Second Amendment.
While answering a question, Bolsonaro told reporters he believed Trump would be reelected in 2020.
&#8220;Thank you, I agree,&#8221; Trump responded.

Trump, Brazilian President Bond Over Defeating Socialism, Trade, Fake News | The Daily Wire

CNN&#8217;s Jim Acosta became perturbed on Tuesday after he was not called on during a press conference with President Donald Trump and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Acosta complained on air that a reporter from The Daily Caller was called on, that Brazil&#8217;s president used the term &#8220;fake news,&#8221; and that conservatives are pushing back against the bias they face on social media platforms.
&#8220;There was a lot of that going on during this news conference, but I think, Brooke, the thing that has to be noted, and we&#8217;d be remiss if we didn&#8217;t note it, is that when the President of Brazil mentioned the term &#8216;fake news,&#8217; he got sort of a smile and a nod from President Trump. And, you know, this is something that we&#8217;ve seen since President Trump came into office, called this network fake news, his referring to the press as the enemy of the people and so on is that this is a virus that is spreading around the world,&#8221; Acosta said, according to a clip flagged by <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/curtis-houck/2019/03/19/meltdown-acosta-trump-spreading-virus-against-media-right-has">NewsBusters</a>.
&#8220;When you have the President of Brazil calling the press fake news, he is &#8212; he is trying to essentially, you know, in a sycophantic sort of way, suck up to the President of the United States,&#8221; Acosta continued. &#8220;There&#8217;s no other way of putting it and trying to emulate him down, as they call him in Brazil, as the Trump of the tropics. You know, this is &#8212; this is another example of when the President of the United States says something here in the U.S. referring to the press as fake news, referring to the press in other derogatory terms, other leaders around the world, other governments around the world are listening and Jair Bolsonaro proved that to all of us here in this Rose Garden news conference, Brooke.&#8221;
Acosta, who had his press credentials suspended last year for making contact with a White House aide during a news conference, &#8220;was confronted by angel moms last month after he challenged Trump over what he described as a &#8216;disconnect&#8217; in his description of illegal immigration,&#8221; <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cnns-jim-acosta-complains-about-rose-garden-press-conference-after-not-getting-called-on">Fox News</a>&#8216; Brian Flood reported.
Bolsonaro, who is a right-wing populist, praised Trump after he <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/03/19/brazils-jair-bolsonaro-trump-tropics-visits-donald-trump/3206386002/">described</a> past administrations as being &#8220;anti-U.S.&#8221;
&#8220;Later on in the news conference, he talked about this conservative grievance that they&#8217;re being discriminated against in social media,&#8221; Acosta continued. &#8220;The president has, you know, a gazillion Twitter followers. He has a massive presence on Instagram, has a massive presence on Fakebook &#8212; Facebook. So do lots of other conservative figures here in the U.S. and so, you know, the president &#8212; he likes to talk about how there&#8217;s this media collusion game that is stacked against him when he has one of the most powerful social media voices throughout. And so I think that just has to be said as well, it has to be put on the record that he is sort of, you know, pulling a three card monty in terms of, you know, how he&#8217;s describing the situation.&#8221;
&#8220;Conservatives aren&#8217;t being discriminated and abused on social media,&#8221; Acosta claimed. &#8220;They have just as much of a landscape that they dominate as the left does and &#8212; and one could argue that they have a much bigger footprint when it comes to social media and the media landscape by and large, Brooke.&#8221;

He&#8217;s called himself &#8220;Brazil&#8217;s Donald Trump.&#8221; Now, incoming Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro seems to be making good on that namesake by promising a series of major changes to the country.
Bolsonaro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/39840/trump-tweets-brazils-new-president-jair-bolsonaro-ryan-saavedra?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=010219-news&amp;utm_campaign=Actengage">responded to a tweet</a> from President Donald Trump on January 1 after being sworn in, in which the American president congratulated him on &#8220;a great inauguration speech.&#8221;
Hours later, Bolsonaro tweeted that one of the changes he was looking to make as president would be to improve the nation&#8217;s school rankings. To do this, Bolsonaro promised &#8220;to tackle the Marxist garbage&#8221; in the school system.
&#8220;One of our strategies to get Brazil to climb from the lowest spots of the educational rankings is to tackle the Marxist garbage in our schools head on. We shall succeed in forming citizens and not political militants,&#8221; he tweeted.

He also, according to previous reporting from The Daily Wire, said he would ease the country&#8217;s gun laws.
&#8220;By decree we intend to ensure possession of firearm to the citizen without criminal record, as well as make his registration definitive,&#8221; he tweeted.
Brazil is a dangerous country, so allowing citizens to protect themselves could be an improvement. If the system is anything like America&#8217;s, however, dangerous people will still get their hands on firearms.
His point about the education system is encouraging, depending on how he goes about achieving this goal. Just after Bolsonaro won the election, he showed support for a viral post from a high-school history teacher calling for students to <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/brazil-bolsonaro-education-repression/">report teachers who express outrage over the new president&#8217;s victory</a>. Bolsonaro suggested students across the country do this. Teachers told the Nation they have to now &#8220;police&#8221; themselves and are being &#8220;censored.&#8221;
Bolsonaro enters the presidency with a 75% approval rating. If he can remove the left-wing bias from schools &#8212; without using totalitarian tactics &#8212; perhaps there is hope for students around the world.
While I was growing up in Florida, our teachers told us they were not supposed to discuss politics or share their political views. I thought this was the standard around the country. When I moved to Massachusetts, I learned that is not the case. Teachers openly discussed how awful they believed President George W. Bush was, and skewed teaching toward liberal ideology. In college, this is commonplace.
It would be nice if our school systems could simply teach children and young adults how to think and not what to think. Students deserve an education, not indoctrination.
Brazil is not America, however, so wishing for less liberal indoctrination here is not the same as supporting whatever tactics Bolsonaro will take in Brazil. If he uses authoritarian tactics, he would be no better than the Marxists he criticizes.

Bolsonaro, who blew out his left-wing opponent in Brazil&#8217;s election, has been dubbed the &#8220;Trump of the Tropics,&#8221; as he is <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/31/americas/brazil-bolsonaro-inauguration-intl/index.html">seen by many</a> as a &#8220;no-nonsense leader who will drain the swamp and tackle the rampant violence plaguing the country.&#8221;
&#8220;We cannot continue flirting with communism,&#8221; Bolsonaro <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/28/jair-bolsonaro-wins-brazil-presidential-election">said</a> following his victory. &#8220;We are going to change the destiny of Brazil.&#8221;

The controversial right-wing presidential candidate nicknamed &#8220;Trump of the Tropics,&#8221; Jair Bolsonaro, easily won Brazil&#8217;s presidential election on Sunday, beating his Workers Party opponent Fernando Haddad by over ten points.
Bolsonaro, who has run on fighting government corruption and cracking down on crime, and whose populist and often incendiary rhetoric has brought comparisons to Trump&#8217;s presidential campaign, declared victory Sunday night. In his acceptance speech, he made clear again that his government would reject the failed socialist policies of the leftist regimes that ran the country for over a decade, before being ousted two years ago amid a crippling recession.
&#8220;We cannot continue flirting with communism,&#8221; the 63-year-old former army captain said in his acceptance speech, <a href="http://news.trust.org/item/20181028230046-ovczz">Reuters</a> reports. &#8220;We are going to change the destiny of Brazil.&#8221;
Along with his rejection of socialist policies and condemnation of political corruption, Bolsonaro&#8217;s message has focused on cracking down on crime by empowering law enforcement and encouraging gun ownership for citizens to defend themselves.
Last month, Bolsonaro was stabbed by a protester in the middle of a crowd while campaigning and spent several weeks recovering from the life-threatening wound. The shocking moment was caught on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/35554/watch-brazil-presidential-candidate-stabbed-rally-ashe-schow">video</a>. Despite the violence that occasionally erupted over the course of the campaign, however, election day was reportedly calm and orderly.
After he secured the victory, Bolsonaro&#8217;s supporters took to the streets to celebrate. Reuters describes the scene outside Bolsonaro&#8217;s home in Rio de Janeiro:
<blockquote>
Thousands of Bolsonaro supporters cheered and set off fireworks outside his home in Rio de Janeiro&#8217;s Barra de Tijuca beachfront neighborhood as his victory was announced. In Brazil&#8217;s commercial capital of Sao Paulo, Bolsonaro&#8217;s win was greeted with fireworks and the honking of car horns.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/413570-trump-congratulates-brazils-bolsonaro-on-presidential-win">statement</a> that President Trump called Bolsonaro to congratulate him and said they were looking forward to working &#8220;side-by-side&#8221; with each other as &#8220;regional leaders of the Americas.&#8221;
French President Emmanuel Macron also congratulated Bolsonaro. &#8220;The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron congratulates Jair Bolsonaro, who was elected by the people of Brazil to become president of the federal republic of Brazil on Sunday, October 28,&#8221; Macron&#8217;s office said in a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-election-france/french-president-macron-congratulates-bolsonaro-on-brazil-win-idUSKCN1N319Y">statement</a>. &#8220;France and Brazil have a strategic partnership based around common values of respect and the promotion of democratic principles.&#8221;
