Any news on that?

(63,221 posts)Don't they realize that Trump's brand of racism extends to them as well? That the people who hate black people, Hispanic people and east Asian people hate them too? I don't understand them. Why do they think they are exempt?

Mr Modi said he admired his counterparts sense of leadership, passion for America, concern for every American and strong resolve to make America great again.
He has already made the American economy strong again, Mr Modi said. He has achieved much for the US and the world. Friends, we in India have connected well with President Trump.
With a smile, he added: In the words of candidate Trump: Abki baar Trump sarkar (This time, [a] Trump government).

(63,221 posts)he was there. In fact, I found it quite disturbing. It's nothing against you, it's just the observation I had of Indians fawning over him like he was some kind of deity that really rubbed me the wrong way. Also, I can't stand Modi. But I should think his people would be better than that.
