This is a good thing. The first recorded case of coronavirus was detected in Brazil around March 3, 2020.

Brazil surpassed 100,000 recorded cases of coronavirus on or about May 3, 2020.

Now, on May 24, 2020, Brazil is second in the entire world in recorded cases of coronavirus, with more than 350,000 recorded cases. That is an increase of a quarter of a million new recorded cases in the past three weeks.
So it is a really good thing that today we banned travel into the US from Brazil. How to close the barn door after the horses get out, Donnie! Couldn't get the doors closed on May 3, 2020, when Brazil passed 100,000? Too busy planning your next golf outing to be bothered, huh Donnie?

Apparently, Brazil President's action has become clear that he is leading his country in the wrong path: he's too focused on economic recovery and ignoring the mounting deaths and infections.
It's not the US role to tell foreign governments what to do with their policy decisions. All Trump can do is stop the infected Brazilians from bringing the virus into the US. I think it makes a lot of sense. However, if you see everything thru the lens of negativity and anti-Trump, then, what can I say. Everybody is entitled to their decisions.
Why didn’t your Cult Leader act three weeks ago? How many infected Brazilians flew into the US trying to escape disease in their own country while bringing more infections to our shores?
And you defend your hero by applauding his alleged efforts to help Bolsonaro learn about how to fight the virus. What a load of horseshit.
How many Chinese came into the US after your Cult Leader instituted his “ban”? How many Europeans before entry from Europe was banned?
It may not be our job to tell foreign countries what to do, but the least we can do is to keep disease carriers out of our country, like Obama did with Ebola! Obama, 2 dead. Trump 100,000 dead and counting.
How does it feel to be Trump’s whore, Marc?
What you fail to acknowledge is that America's president is doing the same thing...."...leading his country in the wrong path: he's too focused on economic recovery and ignoring the mounting deaths and infections."
Instead of respecting and honoring the dead on Memorial Day, he is enjoying his golf course and tweeting insults at his perceived "enemies."
Trump is a lousy excuse for a human being, let alone the leader of a great nation.
