Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday offered multiple predictions about his future, including death or imprisonment.
“I have three alternatives for my future: to be arrested, murdered, or victorious,” Bolsonaro, who is running for re-election in 2022, said in a meeting with a group of evangelical leaders.
The far-right president later added another comment that apparently disqualified the first two options.
“No man on Earth will threaten me,” he said.
Bolsonaro, who tracks former left-wing President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva in most polls, has been critical of Brazil’s electronic voting system, saying it is susceptible to fraud.
The president wants the country to switch to printed receipts to vote. He has also threatened not to accept the results of the next election.
Last week, the head of Brazil’s electoral tribunal described the debate over the adoption of printed votes as “losing focus” and defended the electronic voting system.
