As if I didn't detest the President of Brazil enough already for crimes against nature and humanity, his latest proof of oafish stupidity — rejecting a $22 million offer of help from the G7 to fight the fires raging through the Amazon — confirms him as a disgrace to his country.

Not only that, but surely President Macron is right when he suggests that Brazilian women will be ashamed of their leader for his crass approval of a tweet mocking Brigitte Macron's age.

It was one of his macho supporters who posted on social media a less than flattering picture of Mrs Macron, 66, and her husband, beside one of Brazil's first lady, 37-year-old Michelle Bolsonaro, with her husband smirking behind her.
