A populist message built on a pledge to put his country “first.” Hardline immigration policies. A get-tough-on China stance. And a controversial relationship with conservative strategist Steve Bannon. Though that description certainly applies to President Donald Trump, it could also describe the man with whom Trump will appear Tuesday in the White House Rose Garden: Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s new president.

"Trump is vowing to rid the Western Hemisphere of socialist governments, but the early days of his push appear as much about his own re-election fight than anything happening in Central and South America."

“The twilight hour of socialism has arrived in our hemisphere,” Trump said to applause from an audience of Venezuelan exiles last month in Miami. “And, frankly, in many, many places around the world. The days of socialism and communism are numbered — not only in Venezuela, but in Nicaragua and in Cuba, as well.”

Impossible?

So it was thought about the USSR. Until it was possible. And then happened.
