According to the Deutsche Welle Brazil website, a prime-time humor show on the German television network ARD, portrayed Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro as "a jester, agribusiness buffoon, and protagonist of the horror classic Massacre da Serra Elétrica."
The program strongly criticized the environmental and agricultural policies of the current Brazilian government and called President Jair Bolsonaro the "Der Depp von Ipanema", which could be translated as "the vulgar man from Ipanema".
In Brazil, this fact generated on Twitter the hashtag #idiotadeipanema, which a version of the statement made by the German television program and can be translated as "the idiot from Ipanema".
In fact, the complete lack of diplomatic skill of the current Brazilian government could turn the country into a kind of global pariah. Criticism by Bolsonaro and some of his government ministers to European countries and Mercosur member nations could undermine the recently concluded free trade agreement between Mercosur-European Union. In a way, the lack of political skill of the current Brazilian government, coupled with the obvious inability of many of its members, ends up sabotaging the country's growth agenda. It's the Brazilians the biggest losers of this freak show produced daily by the Brazilian government.
Last week, for example, Bolsonaro said that the Brazilians concerned about the environment should "poop every two days" to solve the country's environmental problems.
