3. Indian cable news

One of my sometimes-hobbies is watching Indian tv news streams--they openly ridicule the idea Trump is responsible for the India-Pakistan cease-fire or truce or whatever the proper terminology is.

Most Indian news I've watched is nationalistic and right-leaning, and they used to love Trump because Trump seemed to love Modi, who can do no wrong with the Hindutva nationalists. Plus they are both buffoonish populists who talk tough. But since the threat of the 50% tariffs they've done a 180 on Trump, calling him delusional and a laughingstock, etc... It's been very entertaining. Republic TV English is the worst/funniest, where they host "debates" where up to 8 people shout and talk over each other simultaneously.
