Sounds like it.
Putin and Xi love him 
He ran his first Presidential campaign howling about his intentions to enable his cops to violently clean the streets of criminals, hated indigenous Brazilians, claimed to envy the US' history of having nearly destroyed the indigenous people who lived here originally, shrieked his hatred of gay and lesbian Brazilians, bellowed his support for Brazil's many fundamentalist "Christians," and had Lula da Silva, his opponent, set up and imprisoned to prevent him from campaigning the first time. Lula, of course, was freed by a Brazilian judge after Bolsonaro was elected.
He also told a fellow Cogressperson she was too ugly to rape, publicly, years ago.

He also pretended to have been nearly assassinated in public, surrounded by his bodyguards, who whisked him away swiftly and kept him hospitalized until he only had to campaign a short time before the election and rode his martyrdom to the Presidency. The claim was that he had been stabbed but was surrounded at all times as they walked/carried him off very quickly.
