Bolsonaro says that ‘when you run out of saliva, you have to have gunpowder’: see memes | Politics

The speech took place during a ceremony at the Planalto Palace, in a ceremony to launch a tourism program. The president referred to a “great candidate for head of state” who said he could “raise trade barriers against Brazil” due to the fires in the Amazon.

Still as a candidate, the president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, said that he will seek “to organize the hemisphere and the world to provide 20,000 million dollars for the Amazon.” He also said that Brazil could face “significant economic consequences” if it does not stop “destroying” the forest.

Even without congratulating Biden on the election, Bolsonaro did not name the president-elect in the United States.

“And how can we deal with all this? Diplomacy alone is not enough, is it, Ernesto? [Araújo, ministro das Relações Exteriores]? When the saliva runs out, you have to have gunpowder, otherwise it won’t work. You don’t even have to use gunpowder, but you should know that you do. This is the world. Nobody has what we have, ”Bolsonaro declared at the Planalto event.

The statements generated jokes on social media. Here are some memes:
