Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was ill in hospital with a feeding tube Sunday following surgery days ago to remove a colostomy bag fitted after he suffered a knife attack late last year. Bolsonaro went on to easily win October elections and took office on January 1. One of his sons, Carlos Bolsonaro, used the president’s Twitter account to say his father on Sunday “woke up well and with energy…. Only good news in the morning.”The Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper reported that according to three medical experts it consulted, the vomiting Bolsonaro exhibited was not a normal reaction so many days after such surgery. It cited the doctor who carried out the surgery, Antonio Macedo, as saying it was likely the result of a long and complicated operation.
