After Surviving 2018 Attack, Bolsonaro Supports Trump Following Today’s Assassination Attempt
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro extended his best wishes for a speedy recovery to President Donald Trump, who was the target of an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. In an Instagram post, Bolsonaro wrote:
“Our solidarity to the greatest world leader of the moment. We wish you a swift recovery. We’ll see you at the inauguration. – Jair Bolsonaro”
On September 6, 2018, the Brazilian conservative faced a similar situation during a campaign event in the state of Minas Gerais, when a far-left activist stabbed Bolsonaro, nearly killing him instantly.
The stabbing caused three injuries to his small intestine and a vein injury in his abdomen that resulted in severe bleeding.
