Wow: Trump Given Incredible Welcome in India

o say President Trump was welcomed in India is an understatement. While thousands of people lined the streets to greet America’s 45th president, that was just the beginning. Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke in Motera Stadium, the world’s largest cricket stadium, to an electrified crowd. The 110,000-seat arena was completely filled, and many were donning white caps that read “Namaste Trump” with the Indian and American flags on the brim.

“The First Lady and I have just traveled 8,000 miles around the globe to deliver a message to every citizen across this nation: America loves India — America respects India — and Americans will always be true and loyal friends to the Indian people,” Trump said in Gujarat.

He thanked India for the incredibly warm welcome they were given, saying they "will remember it forever."

"From this day on, India will always hold a very special place in our heart," he said.

The president is in the country to discuss bilateral trade and security issues.

And, we need their votes. :-) Filled a gymnasium it looks like. Were the "fans" ordered to attend? Was production of madras shirts suspended for the day? In any case, thanks to the folks in 'In-jiah' for the warm welcome.

But but but...our media always says that our conservative leaders are despised outside the country??? Oh, perhaps all that are attending are the racist Indians?

Some will claim this video of Trump arriving in India was photoshopped; I say not!

I predicted this would be epic.

While liberals are telling us 'the world hates Trump' we all know the world loves Trumps' message of national pride and hope. The message is universal.

If this keeps up, Indians from India will be declared white rather than Asian and Democrats will start opposing H1Bs.

Just wanted to say Trump is reported to be widely admired by people in China and India according to people I know who work there.

There was a freeper who reported that Trump was hated because of posts he saw on social media. That might be the worst way to gage popularity on the planet.

I’m 4 generations removed from India and I’m pretty damn white :) then again, I was raised conservative and American and have ZERO cultural ties to where the great Grands came from.

But all the lefty media can focus on is how he has mispronounced some words in a foreign language. How pathetic.

The narrative in the Democratic Media Complex is India is cleaning the streets and building barriers to hide the poor.

Did Trump ask them to clean the streets and hide the poor? Or is India trying to hide their own problems?

Regardless, the media has set the narrative. It's not about Idians admiring Trump. It's about Trump turning a blind eye to Indian poverty.

People around the world recognize the “strong horse” and respond to him, unlike the response given to the brown klown.

The Chinese made the brown klown exit the rear of the plane (fitting).

Oh, man. That’s great. Damn near pissed myself laughing. The lady in the office next to me came in and asked if I was OK. Too damn funny.
