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.

They painted their cars pink and covered them with pro-LGBT text, then drove through rural Alabama. So yeah, they got followed for a bit.

And we only seriously fucked with like 1 or 2 of those countries. We don’t deserve the hate

I don’t remember them being hunted in the India or Vietnam episodes. The other ones I don’t think I have seen, but considering the false claims of those two, I am beginning to doubt the veracity of your comment.

Top Gear” cast, crew attacked in Argentina:

From Google search:

In 2014, the Top Gear crew, including Jeremy Clarkson, was chased out of Argentina by angry locals throwing rocks, following outrage over a Porsche license plate (H982 FKL) deemed to mock the 1982 Falklands War

I wouldn’t be surprised, Clarkson is the kind of asshole that would do exactly such a thing.

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

According to “Monkey see, monkey do”, turns out that USA is a hellhole. And yes, Donald Trump is a fucking monkey-brain.
