Trump praises the President of Brazil for what? Taking market share from American farmers? [View all]

Trump's rooting for Brazil where they are burning down rainforest. But they are burning down rainforest to clear farmland. And they want the farmland to take business away from American farmers. I'm thinking Trump's farm supporters surely must get this. They have to, right?
