The gated community of Encore Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, is filled with rows of clean-cut grey homes and palm trees.

Normally a placid place, it has been anything but quiet the last few weeks.

Since the end of December, one of the nearly cookie-cutter identical houses has been occupied by a man of great international interest.

The ex-Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro left the country and made his way last month to the picturesque Florida resort near Disney World, where, he said, he was visiting friends and family.

Gee, hope there won't be a shoot-out! So many handguns!

1. I fail to understand

The fascination.

To me he’s just an older dude with a chicken neck.

2. He's the 'Trump of the Tropics' and destroyed a huge irreplaceable part of "the lungs of the earth."

He is a monster who found a dirty way into the Presidency and endangered the entire world through killing off a vast amount of the vital tropical forest of the Amazon.

Being aware of him is somewhat natural for all the people who were understandably horrified by what he was doing.

He is also a brutal racist, murderous fascist, rabid sexist. He appeals to the criminally insane and profoundly stupid, like Trump.

4. like we need a Southern Hemisphere Trump...

I knew he'd destroyed a good part of the rain forest; I just didn't know the extent to which the damage went.

Thanks for the summary.

3. He doesn't look sick...

I thought he was here for medical treatments.

Why are his deputies here too?

Why is he even allowed to be here?

I hope his friends are being watched.

And the fascist gang in DC and elsewhere whine about illegal immigrants.
