HOUSTON — It wasn’t your typical Trump campaign rally.
Instead of red Make America Great Again hats, there were turbans and Islamic caps. Women in traditional Indian garb danced to bhangra drums. And tens of thousands of cheering Indian Americans chanted “USA!” and snapped photos.
President Donald Trump appeared at a cavernous football stadium on Sunday alongside Narendra Modi, the popular prime minister of India, who attracted a crowd of 50,000 from across the U.S. to what was touted as the largest event in the country for a leader of a foreign nation.
“You have never had a better friend as president than President Donald Trump,” Trump said as the crowd roared with approval. “We thank you. We love you. I want you to know my administration is fighting for you each and every day.”
Trump is hoping to appeal to Indian American voters, a growing political force in the U.S., with his business-friendly agenda — especially the 2017 tax cuts — as well as his tough talk on terrorism and his decision to show up at the rally even though the ethnic group has generally backed Democrats.
“It’s giving a message to the Indian community that Trump is a big friend of India,” said Rupesh Srivastava, a Michigan businessman and founding member of the Republican Hindu Coalition. “That message will definitely motivate people.”

No...they are just wealthy. They like to show their wealth by the size of their home and the car they drive.
???
Uncalled for.
Not overwhelmingly but you could say a majority of them. Yet most aren’t ideologically committed. They are Democrats simply because of what they see on CNN and read on Yahoo news, plus every other Indian they know is a Democrat. Democrat is the ‘normal’ thing to be. But many are also highly persuadable. One Indian I know at work hated Trump’s guts in 2016 but quickly turned around the following year. Now he is a huge Trump fan though nothing quite like this https://youtu.be/KOabs3FMfs4
That hasn’t been my experience.
Its our country not India’s .
Does China or India let there country get invaded by cheap foreign labor.
Are you for real ?
My thoughts Exactly!
Indians Produce.
What I “care about” is getting President Trump re-elected next year, which is why I’m fundraising for him. Take your “racist” horse$#*+ and stick it.
Good post!
We are crushing college grads under the twin vice of debt and globalism. This will not end well.
This thread didn’t go as you planned Bwhahahahahahaha
Her mother is from India. She got her complexion from her mother. Her Father is White. I believe that he is or was a British subject. Harris has no Negroid blood in her.
Knowing you and a half dozen others it went just as I expected. Bwahahahaha!
Correct. This was modi’ s event. Trump was a special guest invited to speak. It would be crazy to turn down an opportunity to speak to 50k live people. It cost Trump nothing.
sickening absolutely sickening
Contact Trump. I think it is especially important to do so after this rally...

Gist of my latest email...I stated good to work with our allies; however, we are not responsible for employing and supporting India’s recent grads nor their middle class at the expense of our own US recent grads and families.
Already called my 2 Colorado Senators and emailed Trump. My $2800 already donated to the Trump campaign this election cycle hopefully wasn’t wasted.
I hope I haven’t donated myself out of a job.
Funny. Your statement about showing off big houses and cars describes most of my white, affluent neighbors. They esp like driving BMW and Mercedes.
Her father is Jamaican light skinned black.
This insufferable Indian invasion is going to be the death knell of our country.
O.k. Thanks. I knew her mother was from India. It wass her father that I was fuzzy about.
