BRASILIA, April 16 (Reuters) - Brazil’s right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday accused the speaker of the lower house of Congress of turning state governors against him in the coronavirus crisis and seeking to remove him from the presidency.

Bolsonaro fired Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta on Thursday, saying he was not adequately taking the economic fallout from coronavirus lockdowns into consideration. (Reporting by Anthony Boadle; Editing by Sandra Maler)

1. Has this guy lost his mind? . .

3. Yes, but long ago. He's a tRump wanna-be & succeeded. Some ways worse. Stupid. Corporatist.

Big landholders' friend.

Authoritarian RW Corporatist.

For ones such as tRump and Bolsonaro to get this deep into a democracy they have to have a big case of narcissistic sociopathy.

Narcissistic = needy, self-centered, me first.

Sociopath = they don't care about harm to opponents, or extreme injury, or death. Singly or in droves.
