The spin on Trump's India trip — from the L.A. Times via MSN News.
That reminds me, Trump retweeted this yesterday:
To celebrate Trump's visit to India I wanted to make a video to show how in my warped mind it will go......

Indian Twitter accounts are strongly motivated to put up amusing pro-Trump stuff.
ADDED: "We would like to express our feelings and our happiness through our paintings...."
Thank you India!

India is our most important ally against Chinese hegemony. Making a trip there just to entertain the masses and not make the trip about some deal or something that we are getting out of it is a great sign of respect.
Yeah. Barack Bumblefuck always delivered the goods. Like bows and apologies.
Overseas worship of elected US deities is OUR thing, cry lefties.
Just THINK, what a Wonderful World we would be in, if we'd sided with Indian instead of Pakistan
All those years ago.
More Specifically, Just THINK, what a Wonderful World we all would be in;
If India had sided with US instead of the USSR

And, people Wondered Why the World Hated us back then. No One Likes a LOSER
Barack can bring home the Nobel. And follow it up with an Olympic gold in the downhill. Fastest time ever! Check your tire pressure, kids! You'll need then to get out of town when the BP well blows and the EPA won't let the clean-up boats to operate as designed because the water they are putting back into the ocean isn't 100% clean on the first pass--only 97%+.
It's always something with these people. If it were "pre-wired", they would complain it's just window dressing for an election year photo op and thus unethical to use the office for campaigning. Once you understand it's "Orange Man Bad" all the way down, nothing is good and the only important information people need to know is the bad.
I wonder if he will tell the audience how much Hindus have contributed to Western civilization.
Probably not. Hopefully he won't pander too much. It's not really his style, or, or at least, if he does pander it's not so obvious.
Does this make Indians deplorables?

Hahhahaha! Remember O'Bama's trip to Ireland? Now that was an adoration fest.
Sally 327- he will say India "punches above its weight"
I thought liberals were arguing that the whole world hates Prez Trumps and that we should be embarrassed he's president.
Still not tired
So now the L.A. Times thinks their should be a lot of quid pro quos in place.
There are those who think he's going after Joe Biden's 7-11 vote with his trip to India. But we know that's the Pakistani vote. I think he's going after the Hotel Owners Association vote.
Seriously- there's a group of very productive, well educated, US citizens with family back there. Another constituency to pay attention to? Not in numbers, perhaps. But in influence?
Oh, and there's this: It's a pretty damned important country, with a huge population, bordering Pakistan, and a mountain-range away from China, with a burgeoning economy (until coronavirus).
Why would Trump go to India? It's been reported repeatedly, as fact, that Trump hates brown people. The mainstream media and Democrats wouldn't lie to me!
Went to my daughter in law’s citizenship ceremony the other day. 540 applicants from 78 different countries became US citizens. The most of course were from Mexico, 140. The county with the second most? India with 80.
BTW, it was the first of 3 such ceremonies they held that day.
"Does this make Indians deplorables?"
I think that's one of the castes.
We haven't forgotten Obama's trip to Cuba. At least India is a friendly democracy.
Now, if some of the ethnic Indians in Northern Virginia would see the light...
Craig: "Why would Trump go to India? It's been reported repeatedly, as fact, that Trump hates brown people. The mainstream media and Democrats wouldn't lie to me!"
Dude, Aryan brown people. It's totally a white supremacy thing.
(In Clown World, "brown white supremacist" is no more a contradiction in terms than "feminine penis".)
Mutual respect. Don't leave home without it.
What is it our Indian friends like about our President? With what demographic is he most popular?
It's critical for Trump to get India to ramp up it's manufacturing to offset the disruption in the supply chain from China.
Which is why he's there.
Howard wants to believe it's just a clown show. How surprising.
Hey hey hey, does this explain the NYT's article yesterday on why India is a bigoted shithole full of rapists? You'd think so, but that confuses cause and effect. In reality, the NYT has been castigating India in no uncertain terms for months, even at the risk of a massive shift in the Indian diaspora to Trump. Legal immigrants can't think much of illegal ones. So what does explain the left's sudden allergic reaction to India? Is it the plight of Muslims? Nonsense, the example of China shows the left can't shut up fast enough about Muslim persecution if it's done by the right people.
Could it be that India has generally rejected the advice offered by the Special True Americans, which means the Soros agenda has given up on co-opting Hindu nationalism? Why, I do believe that's the case.
The LA Times might have the worst case of TDS outside of DC.
Why is Trump so popular in India. I'm happy to see it, but I don't understand why his charm is so potent in that part of the world....I understand his forebears are Scottish and German. So far as I know, that hasn't given him a leg up in those locales, or, maybe, like in America he's just not popular with the media and the people who like to demonstrate.
Michael K is right re the LA Times. It ceased to be a serious paper circa 2008 when its
"news" pages were full time fellating the New Light Worker. Then in 2016 the "reporters" took off their knee pads and got their spears to poke Orange Man Bad. It takes me maybe 3 minutes tops each morning to look for non TDS articles in the "news" section. The California and Business sections--maybe 2 minutes total. The sports section is mostly, but not entirely TDS free. But even it is not very useful.
Look on the bright side--I rarely take more than 15 minutes out of my day to handle the daily chore of reading the local newspaper.
So once again Trump is retweeting an obviously doctored video. Can we start the second impeachment now?
JAI GURU TRUMP!!!
JAI GURU TRUMP!!!
I looked at the tweets. I see a lot of pro-Trump ones from India, and then a lot of white people in the U.S. and UK (I bet that goes over well) telling them their opinions are trash.
But we know that's the Pakistani vote. I think he's going after the Hotel Owners Association vote.
145,000 Patels in the U.S.
gilbar @6:33 AM:
I used to work with a very bright Indian lady (MSEE) who thought that India was poor because the British had stolen so many of their best gemstones and recycled them into the Crown Jewels.
It never occurred to her that 50 years of socialism might have had anything to do with it.
Darrell at 6:18--"Barack Bumblefuck"
Please. Show a little respect. It is Barack Obumblefuck.
And no. He is not Irish.
My intuitive with no knowlege take is that Modi is despised because he isn't a lefty. I will now do research to see if I'm correct.
I was correct.
Funny, nobody, not Ann, not commenters, mentions the reason for the trip.
Nuclear power. Westinghouse is selling 6 gigawatt nuclear power plants to India.
This will:
Bring in at least $6billion or so
Reduce india's co2 emissions for those who think this a problem
Give us more experience and expertise in building nuclear power plants.
Help Westinghouse sell more nukes.
As slojo would say "this is a big fucking deal!"
A major win for the administration. Which is why the media ignores it.
John Henry
This is fake news. The reporter does not know Trump's thoughts, but is reporting on them.
Public service reminder
Total number of radiation deaths associated with nuclear power plants since 1950 or so?
3 as in three
Including tmi, chernobyl and Japan.
John Henry
Its nice India likes the USA. SO what do we get out it?
So do all these nice Indians who come here, support Open borders and Bernie or Trump and immigration restriction? I have no doubt a majority of them support the former. Don't let the optics fool you.
He promises not to inflict social justice, open abortion zones, force catastrophic anthropogenic immigration reform, implement Gaddafi solutions and other elective regimes changes, and to spread the Green blight. No quid pro Joes, or worse, quid pro Bos, collateral damage, political congruence and other social progressions.
Total number of radiation deaths associated with nuclear power plants since 1950 or so?
Safe, stable, reliable, environmentally isolated, low carbon emitters, high-density energy production that is not a Green blight upon the land, flora, and fauna, to power low efficiency EVs, high social status websites, and other luxury goods and services, as well as industry, farms, homes, schools, hospitals, etc.
My India friends love Trump. They started off anti-Trump, and the realized he was anti-CCP and pro-Modi. Modi is hugely popular right now and India has finally shifted their foreign policy to become pro-American. Perfect timing for both me.
rcocean,
Trump doesn't support immigration restriction for the highly skilled, which most Indian immigrants to the U.S. are. So, the restrictions on low-skill labor isn't an issue with them. What they want is the U.S. to ally with India against China and help India out economically. Trump brings all these things to the table.
In the Houston Indian community the support is overwhelmingly pro-Trump. The 50,000 plus rally with Modi was in Houston.
Sometimes I wish the traditional newspapers and broadcast outlets would let down their guard and tell us what they REALLY think of Donald Trump.
Hahahahaha.
Being barely 10 years old when Kennedy came calling, I think, the clamor to make his and Jackie’s images was the same. But there was no palpable KDS
It is amazing how insular LA people are in their united hatred of Trump. That LA times is their local paper is no surprise. I have work colleagues I need to interact with and their impervious ignorance of the Mueller conclusions and russian "collusion" is legendary. The are generally deeply ignorant on many subjects, so it's not just Trump.
Security for an enormous crowd in India is a thousand times more difficult than here.

It would be entirely proper to say Arabs called it Hindu numbers... What West calls Arabic.

Indian understand this from home country experience.
FYI... There is serious rift between D & R Indians parallel to home grown nehru socialist vs national capitalist modi
Dayum - I'm really impressed with the skill in rendering Trump's face. Here I am too chickenshit to try drawing portraits.

Larry David did a MAGA hat episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm portraying this, although I'm not sure was his intent, necessarily.
A lot of coding was farmed out to IT shops in India. I figured it would have been better to farm out management to India. The south Asians I worked with while chained to the oars on the lower decks were excellent at coding properly, but lacked the mutinous spirit required to do serious hacking.
Perhaps the visit is a serious message to China: India has a large educated labor force skilled in IT and engineering. Now the Gandhian socialism is set aside, Trump's darshan is a signal that incentives will follow to move more US industry and commercial ventures to South Asia.
That would be a coup on both sides.

Shades of Clarke's I Remember Babylon! (Which looks pretty silly in the age of youpron..)
"President Donald Trump’s journey halfway around the world this coming week is primarily about something else India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised him — a massive, largely adoring crowd"
Prog almost gets it. The point is not the crowd as such. The deliverable is the message delivered: world loves Trump, brown people love Trump, progs are wrong.
Of course, progs being progs, we see strong resistance to learning from the obvious error. Don't change, progs!
John Henry: regarding the nuke deal...thanks, that's great news. This is a huge win for environmental justice. It would be a grand slam if we could just do it here, that's probably too much to ask for.
The Indian community is silicon valley seem uniformly hostile to Trump as far as I have seen. Mostly lazy tropes about Trump being racists, not wanting brown skin people as immigrants etc. etc. Then they have a disconnect when Trump comes out against importing more H1B temp tech workers (which is an existential threat to the entrenched silicon valley indian software engineers with green cards) They love his tough love on china and sing his praises yet can't bare to support him. And yes, their family back home is way more pro-trump by light years. Maybe its just the water in the bay area?
I am reminded again of a Powerline post from the Bush II years. W. was touring India, and one of the powerline guys was following the visit in the English language Indian press. There was something about the coverage, just a little bit off, that he couldn't quite put his finger on. Then it hit him: Hey, these guys don't hate Bush's guts!.
“Howdy” Modi came to Texas about a year ago and introduced Trump. The professor might have even blogged about it.
It’s on YT.
And Modi visited Israel. He was their first PM to do so.
We are told the world laughs at Trump. Does it really? CNN doesn’t want you to find out.
“ Security for an enormous crowd in India is a thousand times more difficult than here”
Unclear. No Bernie Bros in India.
Clicking through on that headline, we get "Live updates: Trump touts $3 billion U.S.-India defense deal at massive rally with Modi."
It's nice that the NYT is so consistently wrong
