Bolsonaro was enraged by Macron's decision to make devastating forest fires in the Amazon, a crucial matter at the G7 summit.
He attacked Macron's wife in a sexist Facebook post, comparing Brigitte Macron, 66, to his third wife, 37.
"You now understand why Macron is persecuting Bolsonaro," writes Rodrigo Andeaca, a Facebook user.
Bolsonaro liked the comment and wrote: "Don't humiliate man - LOL."
Some users and journalists were angered and reported him as a sexist.

"I think Brazilian women are no doubt ashamed of their president; I think the great Brazilian people are ashamed of this behavior - and expect a president to behave better."
"I likewise hope for the day Brazil will have a president who knows how to behave himself."
He must feel the same way about a certain other president.

(5,106 posts)He did the same thing to Ted Cruz's wife, but was stymied in the general election by having a woman opponent. He would have looked foolish comparing pictures of Melania and Bill. It's sad that these old men feel superior by having bought a good looking younger wife. It's fortunate for their egos that they don't care what women think. It's obvious to females of every age that Macron is a far superior man, having nothing to do with age or looks. It's a good bet that their current wives will look nowhere as good as Mme Macron does when they're the same age.
