Trump offered praise for his Brazilian counterpart, who has earned the nickname "Trump of the Tropics" for his similarities to the U.S. leader, during a diatribe against tech companies and broadcast networks. Trump suggested that those two groups are biased against him and other conservatives.

"You look at the networks you look at the newscasts. I call it fake news," Trump said. "I’m very proud to hear the president use the term fake news.
