It is INSANE to me that this is not a bigger story. The President flew to India to praise a leader whose movement beats Muslims in the street, and said NOTHING ABOUT IT when there.

(82,849 posts)Well, yeah, they kind of are supposed to know about this, but reporting on it would upset the Emperor Trump so nothing. They'd rather be thought insane than obeisant.

Obama's talk to staff at the start of his presidency: people, this could be your last, best chance to help improve our world.
Trump message: We'll get the best people...everyone wants a piece of the oval office.

(33,400 posts)Which story in particular do you think will be relegated to "some back page" of the NYT:
1. Anti-Muslim Rioting?
2. Trump not mentioning it?
Wellstone ruled
(34,661 posts)Modi will make all the hay he can off this story. Remember Pakistan being a Muslim Nation is watching.
Number 2,in reference to the Orange Anus,doubt if he ever opened a History Book in his life. You cannot fix Stupid,only tolerate them if you happen to encounter one.
maxsolomon
(33,400 posts)But it was the top story in the International section. Page 4. It was quite long, as well.
Not Page 1 above the gatefold, sorry.

(5,727 posts)is a sign of his divine maturity. To be fair, that IS a pretty high bar for the likes of him. It requires a lot of sacrifice on his part to resist punching down and braying about it.

(11,744 posts)As other posters said, Trump only cares about the business he can do in India. He is fine with what is happening in India and likely admires Modi for going for it. Trump has tried to stoke the fires of Nationalism here so why would he not applaud someone for doing it in their country.
That and Trump is an ignorant Idiot.
