The president of Brazil just asked ‘What is a golden shower?’ on Twitter and everyone’s wetting themselves
Probably not a question you’d expect to be asked by the president of the – Google, Google – world’s fourth largest economy.
Which translates, naturally, as ‘What is a golden shower?’
Could have saved everyone a lot of bother and just DM-ed Donald Trump.
President Jair Bolsonaro tweeted the question after posting a video on Twitter of a man urinating on another person, apparently in an attempt to discredit Rio’s world famous street festival, Carnival.
“I don’t feel comfortable showing it, but we have to expose the truth to the population are aware of their priorities. This is what Brazilian carnival street parties have turned into.”
Right. And here are some of the things people were saying about it (AKA we’re searching ‘golden shower’ so you don’t have to).

I know that whatever way I try to phrase this it’ll sound ludicrous so I’ll be blunt:
The Brazilian president just posted an uncensored golden shower video to his official twitter account
That’s all thanks for reading

“‘What’s a golden shower,’ the leader of the world’s 4th largest democracy asked on Wednesday morning hours after trying to silence his carnival critics by tweeting a pornographic video he claimed was a fair representation of his country’s most important cultural institution…”

My takeaway: Bolsonaro is so fond of Trump that he even imported a golden shower controversy. Next, we build a wall with Uruguay.

On Wall St and in Washington, there's been some concern about Bolsonaro's focus & discipline in first 60 days.
"Wait until Congress is in session, Carnaval is over, and THAT is when his government actually starts" some said.
That's today. https://t.co/wtpz4wNg4q
