ORLANDO, Fla. — The White House is facing mounting pressure to expel former Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro from Florida after supporters of the right-wing leader stormed and trashed government buildings in his home country this past weekend.
Bolsonaro is staying in a rental home near Disney World as tensions boil over in Brazil from his recent election defeat. He posted on social media Monday that he had received treatment from an Orlando-area hospital because of abdominal pain stemming from a 2018 stabbing attack but was then discharged.
“Grateful for the prayers and messages of prompt reinstatement,” he tweeted.
