Related: About this forumBolsonaro Says He Will No Longer Speak to The Press
President said the press should no longer appear every morning at Palácio do Alvorada
Mar.6.2020 1:43PM
President Jair Bolsonaro said on Thursday (5) that he will no longer speak to the press because the press, according to him, "does not disclose the truth".
In his weekly social media broadcast, the president also said that the press should no longer appear every morning at the Palácio do Alvorada.
"Are you tired of seeing the press here saying that I attack the press every day. Suppose you go to work and go to a place, right, and every day you get mugged. What do you do? You take another way; you won't be assaulted, be beaten in the same place. If the press says that I offend you every day, what are you doing there every day (Alvorada)? Until you start spreading the truth, we won't talk to the press anymore, forget it", said.
Bolsonaro also complained about the repercussion of last year's GDP (Gross Domestic Product) result, presented on Wednesday (4) by IBGE, with an increase of 1.1%. The figure is lower than initially projected by the market and consolidated 2019 as the third year in a row of weak growth in the Brazilian economy.

(160,530 posts)2. Bolsonaro is said to love Trump, and has been nicknamed "The Trump of the Tropics" in Brazil.
When he was in the legislature before being "elected," he once told a collegue she was too ugly for him to rape her. If that doesn't sound like Trump, nothing would. Just as low and dirty as the slime in the White House.
Identical twins.
These two are "too ugly to" live. 😣
