India on Thursday criticised as inappropriate a post by Donald Trump in which he shared comments that called the South Asian country a “hellhole”.
The inflammatory post on Truth Social comes ahead of a planned visit next month to India by the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, who is seeking to ease recent tensions between the normally friendly powers.
On Wednesday Trump posted a 4-page screed – apparently a transcription of remarks from conservative podcast host Michael Savage – that denounced the US constitutional right to citizenship of everyone born in the country.
Without evidence, the post accused Indian immigrants in the tech industry of not hiring white native-born Americans and inaccurately alleged that Indian immigrants lack English proficiency. Trump also posted a video of Savage delivering those comments to his podcast audience.
Talk about calling the kettle black.
India is a shitty country that has religious idiots, poor safety standards, garbage infrastructure, serious pollution problems, and overbearing leadership.
America has religious idiots, garbage infrastructure, murderous police, and rights-stripping leadership trending toward fascist.
There are differences, but both countries are shitholes in different ways.
