Brazil's 38th president (2019-2022) was called "the Trump of the Tropics" for his combative populism, denial of COVID-19 (Brazil suffered 700,000+ deaths), and acceleration of Amazon deforestation. He praised Brazil's former military dictatorship, attacked LGBTQ+ rights and feminist movements, and after losing the 2022 election, his supporters stormed Brazil's Congress, Supreme Court, and presidential palace in an echo of January 6th. He was subsequently barred from running for office until 2030.
