Trump Struggled to Say Words Correctly as People Walked Out of Enormous Macho Man Rally in India
What an embarrassment...
By Andrea Jefferson February 24, 2020
Donald Trump is in India, attending an enormous rally to get the love and adulation he so craves but he also made a fool of himself by mispronouncing many words.
The speech took place at a stadium filled to capacity with 110,000, and Trump acknowledged the spectacle when he addressed the Indian people.
America loves India. America respects India. And America will always be faithful and loyal friends to the Indian people, the president said to cheers.
You have done a great honor to the American people. Melania, my family, we will always remember this remarkable hospitality, he said.
.................................
Trump received the welcome he wanted when he touched down in India Monday morning a spectacle of Indians lining the streets cheering on his motorcade, guards on camels standing by, and native dancers in bright costumes moving to live music and the beat of the drum.
Modi designed the day to appeal to an audience of one: Trump, wooing the president as the two nations struggle to end a trade war that has damped relations between them.
..........................
However, he struggled to pronounce several Indian words from Ahmedabad, the city where he was speaking, to Swami Vivekananda, an Indian philosopher, greatly admired by Mr Modi. He also called the Vedas ancient Hindu texts Vestas.
BBCs Rajini Vaidyanathan reported that crowds began leaving midway through Trumps speech, which came after Modi spoke.

Before appearing at the rally, Trump made a stop at the Sabarmati Ashram, the humble home where Mahatma Gandhi lived for a dozen years as he helped push India to gain independence from Britain. At one point, Modi could be seen explaining to Trump how to use a charkha, a traditional spinning wheel used by Gandhi..............................

(19,985 posts)Drumpf's own party denied Modi a visa to enter the U.S. in 2005 "on religious-freedom grounds, stemming from allegations that he tacitly supported Hindu extremists during Hindu-Muslim riots in his home state in 2002."

Since then Modi has proven to be a bigoted tribalist like Drumpf as explained so well by John Oliver last night. Most Americans don't exactly "love" that.

(63,221 posts)Why are they all worshipping him? And whose idea was it to play "Macho Man"? Are they serious about that shit or are they trolling him?
And the comments on twitter make my head feel like exploding. The deplorables are eating this up with a spoon and talking about how wonderful and loved their dear leader is the world over and what a glorious tribute this is! I just can't even deal today.
