2. You've got that right. Bolsonaro also hates women, like Trump, and insults them.

When he was a member of their legislature, he picked a fight with a female collegue, which kicked off controversy in Brazil, here's a short description, from the Guardian:

    A Brazilian judge has ordered a conservative Brazilian congressman to pay a colleague more than $2,500 for saying she wasn’t worth raping.

    Judge Tatiana Dias da Silva ordered Jair Bolsonaro to pay Maria do Rosario 10,000 reals ($2,560) for saying last December in a newspaper interview that she is not “worth raping; she is very ugly”.

    One day before the interview, Bolsonaro said on the floor of congress that Rosario had called him a “rapist” in 2003, adding that he would not rape her because she didn’t “deserve it”.

    Lawmakers in Brazil enjoy parliamentary immunity, which protects their speech, opinions and votes in congress. However, Judge Silva said the immunity would not apply to Bolsonaro because he made similar remarks later in the interview.

    Maria do Rosario and Bolsonaro.


    That was such a dirty slam, and it sounds exactly like the kind of stuff Trump has used to insult women he hates, like Rosie O'Donnell and any beauty contestant he thinks is over the weight limit in one of his Miss Whatever contests, like one contestant from South America he humiliated in public by mocking her.

    All these clowns seem to have the same hatreds.
