Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was discharged from a hospital Tuesday after recovering from a fall at the presidential palace that affected his memory.

Bolsonaro, 64, had a quiet night and left the Armed Forces Hospital in Brasilia following about ten hours under observation, according to a statement from the presidency.

The president temporarily lost his memory after the fall but later recovered it, he said in a televised interview to Band TV on Tuesday.

“I didn’t know, for instance, what I had done during the day yesterday,” Bolsonaro said. “I fell on my back. I slipped forward and fell on my back. I lost my memory, but thank God, everything is in peace.”

I'd love to forget Jair Bolsonaro

1. and trumpie falls down the stairs at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . .

[Hoyt]

2. Don't know much about him, other than a few things I just read.

Sounds a little too much like trump for me.

[Lucky Luciano]

3. Oh he's maximum evil alright. Too bad it wasn't worse for...

...it would save many lives and the Amazon would have a fighting chance if he goes away.

[PSPS]

5. They refer to him as the "Brazilian trump"

[sandensea]

6. The Trump of the Tropics, they call him, on account of his brazen bigotry and far-right politics.

He had a close ally in Argentina until recently (Macri), who was sometimes referred to as the Trump of the Pampas - but his own mismanagement caused him to lose re-election in October.

Here's hoping Bolso ends up the same way - or, by some miracle, have a real change of heart.

His bailiwick happens to include the Amazon, as you know.

That said, Happy Holdays to you Hoyt. All the Best to you and yours!

7. He once told a woman that she was too ugly to rape.

Hopefully, he lost the part of his memory about what an utter piece of shit he is.

4. I wish we could wipe our memories of him

[SunSeeker]

9. Indeed. nt

8. oops...

ya dumb fuck...what is it with these incompetent fascists...

[lambchopp59]

10. I doubt he's forgotten "You look terribly like a homosexual".

Nor his falling approval ratings, nor the hot water his son is in for a money laundering scheme.
The "Trump of the tropics" has begun building his own house of cards and lies. Deploravel.

11. That fascist shit head just needs to die. . . .
