“I’m very close to the folks from India,” the president told reporters on Sunday. “I love India, and I have a lot of respect and a great friendship with the prime minister of India, and he said, ‘Would it be possible to do it?’ And I said, ‘I’ll make it possible.’” Trump may also be fascinated by the popularity of Modi, who — like the president — rode to office on a wave of populist fury and launched a “Make in India” campaign. Trump previously commented on the number of Modi’s Twitter followers, and insinuated last week that the number of the Houston rally’s attendees grew because of him.

It took place in a state that long served as a Republican stronghold but where Democrats are making a play after their party saw significant gains in the 2018 midterm elections and following a series of GOP congressional retirements.

There's something seriously wrong with these people.

This the vote that mainstream media don't know are for Trump. Because the are too stupid to understand that not every immigrants are against Trump. Good Muslims will vote for Trump before voting democrats on moral issues.

Very smart political move

Be afraid liberal nuts...be very afraid 😂😂😂😂😂

Did he make a joke about getting scalped?

And the bot followers increase exponentially just before this with fake India accounts spreading the illusion that it's more than it really is. Wake up people. You are nose-deep in a massive fraud... an illusion of being part of a manufactured majority. You are being conned.

This lede is clickbait.

Um, it wasn't a Trump rally. Trump rallies are easy to spot: just look for the burning crosses & Nazi flags.

. People are Crazy!

What? Is Politico carrying trump’s water now? It wasn’t trump’s rally. He honed in on it.

Uh no.

Doesn't woo me he makes me ill and the sound of his voice is like finger nails on a chock board. Many Indians who support Trump have deep issues with Muslims so there ya go.

Laughable.

Now it's the petting ZOO.

howdy modi? gee, what fools these mod-ites be.

I think I am gonna puke! realDonaldTrump is such a two faced nothing.

It wasn’t trumps rally!

Two great leaders 🇺🇸🇮🇳🇺🇸🇮🇳 realDonaldTrump

He’s the consummate manipulator. Everything for show, gain and effect. Nothing from the heart.

4/9- In Subcontinent (Bharat, Pakistan & East Pakistan), Military controls & dictates all Judicial Systems from Lower to Supreme Courts (forcing all Judges & Justices to deliver Selective Justice using Black-Mailing & Fear Factors on Judiciary Personnel)

Yo, realDonaldTrump calling you all types of N....rs on Air Force 1 on flite back to D.C!

3/9- Subcontinental Military 100%-Rigged July 2018 Elections in Pakistan, December 2018 Elections in East Pakistan & May 2019 Elections in Bharat, in Favor of PTI, Awami League and BJP: UNO Needs to Dismantle Bharati, Pakistani & East Pakistani Military

2/9-In Principle: August 14& August 15 were/are/will be “Days of Transfer of all Muslim& Hindu Slaves” in the Subcontinent by British Colonists to Islamic& Hindu Militaries, respectively; and in reality: August 14& 15 are NOT “Independence Days” but instead “Slaves Transfer Days”

1/9- On 14 & 15 August 1947 British Colonists handed over its all Muslim & Hindu Slaves in Subcontinent to Islamic& Hindu Military (who as well whose parents & grandparents gave Holy Showers to British Colonists' dogs): Subcontinental Military was/is/will be source of all crimes

Wasn't Modi Obama's guru?

Trump must have been terrified

'Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my friend, a friend of India, a great American president, Mr. Donald Trump!'

Talk about gift from Modi ...

Mostly temporary coolies who can not vote here!

FAKER than a 3 dollar bill and the Indian people are truly, SIMPLE, SLOW and A SLEEP at the wheel,if they believe Trump can talk shi* about a group one day and for his gain the next day, he's in love with the group he just talked shi* about, Come on people, wake the fuc* up...

who said Trump is racist, they lied ...🤣 Electric atmosphere at the NRG arena in Houston as 50,000 strong Indian Americans wait for the historic occasion when PM narendramodi comes on stage together with US President realDonaldTrump at HowdyModi.
