Jair Bolsonaro wants to nominate his son to be Ambassador to US. To say he has no qualifications is an understatement. When asked why, his dad said he speaks English & wants to live in US. The son is in DC, met with Trump, & a US official said he couldn't understand his English:

This week I wrote a little about the astrologer who is Jair Bolsonaro's guru & the "intellectual leader" of the Bolsonaro movement (they think he's a philosopher👆). Listen to him here tell @StefanMolyneux that the Pope may be an agent of George Soros:
