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.

A hellhole is this goddamn country where my elderly parents have to drive for DoorDash, in a car I’ve ‘lent’ them, or face homelessness.
According to “Monkey see, monkey do”, turns out that USA is a hellhole. And yes, Donald Trump is a fucking monkey-brain.
That’s hardly fair to monkeys!
His face is orange as a baboons ass is pink
Yet another projection from Trump, lol
Our leadership is so cucked they wont say a single word against trump himself

Have I interacted with you on lemmy before
Living in India there were two kinds of visitors: one was in awe of the culture and architecture, the other spent the entire time complaining about how dirty and different everything was. Guess which camp Trump would have belonged to?
I visited India in November. The only things I liked were the sights, like Charminar, Golkonda Fort, loved it.
Every fucking thing else, and I mean everything was awful. The air was bad, trash choking literally every waterway, stray cows, dogs, cats, sifting through trash for food, the drivers — holy shit street lights are not suggestions guys. First hotel I stayed in literally had rats fighting in the walls.
Food was good, until it made me so violently ill I had to call the trip off. People were very friendly, actually I should mention this — I didn’t have any bad experiences with the people (aside from the conditions they live in). Literally all of them tried to scam me though, like literally every single vendor that did not have fixed pricing.
All of this to say, fuck India I’m never going back — at least not while Modhi is still killing climate protestors.
like literally every single vendor that did not have fixed pricing.
There’s no such thing as a fixed price on the streets of India. You’ve gotta understand that that society is still essentially stuck in medieval times. That means no tax on most things, but also that he who haggles the best can get the biggest discount.
Oddly enough, the absence of a fixed price is a concept Western corporations are trying to bring back.
Ngl, nothing I’ve seen about India gives me any desire to visit there. From travel videos I’ve watched, it just looks like too many people, lots of scammers in the streets, and it just looks like a clusterfuck when it comes to roads and transit. I also don’t really care for Indian food mainly for what it does to my gastrointestinal system, and second I’m not super in love with the taste. There are a handful of things I really like, but eating it daily does not sound appealing (my stomach can only take so much). Having said that, the US is turning into a “hellhole” in front of our eyes for one fucking reason, so the orange doesn’t have a leg to stand on here (as usual)

It would be if you only watch ragebait videos. Some places there are indeed quite bad, but others (Mumbai, Bangalore) are fairly normal. And by the way, “Western” food does exist there, it isn’t like people are being fed curry exclusively everyday.
I get it, just not my thing…
America for the most part on a day to day basis hasn’t really changed at all.
Its mostly our politics, and largest city that have experienced the most change. But you go to any rural area and it’s exactly as racist or nice or pretty or shitty as it was 20+ years ago.
America does really well as insulating it self from it self. Covid had more impact on daily life then anything trump has done generally speaking. While the expections to that are absolutely truly massive single points tho. Like truely massive.
So it’s a weird problem.
don’t forget all the scammers and rapists running around.
Trump would feel right at home then.
I’d love to see the Baha’i Lotus Temple some day. I’ve seen pictures and it looks even more lovely than the one in Wilmette, IL, US.
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.
Yeah but which one has better food?
America has Panda Express?
I mean…America has literal Indian food restaurants AND everything else.
America is a shithole right now for politics, but they know how to eat.
In all fairness, he calls all other countries “hellholes” or “shitholes”.
But if you think everyone else is an asshole, then you’re the asshole.
It only cost the livelihood of 260 million people, but the ISI has successfully joined hands with Mossad to put Trump on their payroll. And only for the purpose of publicly demeaning India /s
Surprisingly, no payroll was even needed this time. All it took was either a look at the H1b program, or a visit to social media.
Trump has been on TikTok recently, then? Against the better wishes of his own cybersecurity analysts?
Trump was never a man known for sharing hard truths, but in all fairness…
