Jair Bolsonaro in the beginning of his campaign, he proclaimed that he would help clean up the government and Brazil's high violence problem by bettering military power and loosening gun laws. Bolsonaro wants to arm the "good guys" against drugs and crime. “I signed this decree, created by many upstanding people, so that at this first moment, upstanding citizens can have peace inside their homes,” Bolsonaro said at the signing of the decree. He believes that by arming police officers and making gun laws more flexible, that people will be able to protect themselves and catch suspects of crime.

Another person that Bolsonaro had chosen to be in his cabinet was Damares Alves, a woman pastor who strongly believed that gender ideology was the death of the individual. Alves is the Minster of Women, Family and Human Rights under President Jair Bolsonaro. Alves believes that following gender ideology is "death, death of identity". Alves believes that by treating woman as equals that violence against women will rise.

China has been trying to buy Brazilian land and work to keep up with high product demands by buying from Brazil and using their natural resources, but Bolsonaro has become increasingly worried about China and has said that it is a matter of nation security that Brazil becomes more privatized with their governmental energy companies and other national resources. In a interview, Bolsonaro was asked about relations with China and replied “China isn’t buying in Brazil, it’s buying Brazil. Are you going to put Brazil in Chinese hands?”. Bolsonaro does not want all trade to stop but would like to have more control over trade between China and Brazil, he simply does not want the national treasures to fall into the "wrong hands".

Bolsonaro is also currently not very well loved by the media. Bolsonaro has threatened a rather popular media cite due to the site spreading allegations of Bolsonaros involvement in a murder case. In a 23 minute video addressed to the national media provider, TV Globo, Bolsonaro said that the outlet was "betraying" Brazil by attacking their current president. Along with insulting the platform, he so threatened to cut national funding. The issue of corruption and scandal is a very heated issue within Brazil due to the large amount of corruption uncovered more recently, including a scandal with the former President Lucio, who was well loved by the people of Brazil. Bolsonaro within the first 100 days of being in office promised to clean up corruption within Brazil.
