India is the cornerstone of our approach WTF? A non-muzzie country? Did he tell NASA?

Why is the doofus in chief leaving for 10 days right after the election?
Why is he finally going to Indonesia after putting them off multiple times?
What the hell is up with India? Toward the end of klintoon’s reign, he and an horde of fellow blood suckers spend 2 weeks in India. Something like 50 US aircraft went to India for his “vacation”.
