(MENAFN) In a recent appearance on the Flagrant podcast, former US President Donald trump expressed strong admiration for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to him as a “friend” and the “nicest human being.” Trump’s comments came during a conversation with hosts Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh, where he highlighted the transformative Political climate in India since Modi took office in 2014. He noted that prior to Modi’s leadership, India faced significant instability, despite the decade-long tenure of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh from the congress Party.
Describing Modi, Trump remarked, “On the outside, he looks like he’s your father. He is the nicest and a total killer,” illustrating his complex view of the Indian leader as both approachable and formidable. The former president fondly recalled Modi's visit to the United States in 2019, where they participated in the grand ‘Howdy, Modi’ rally in Houston, which drew an impressive crowd of around 80,000 attendees. Trump described the event as “beautiful” and memorable, remarking on the atmosphere of excitement that surrounded their public appearances together.
During the podcast, Trump also reflected on his discussions with Modi regarding perceived threats to India from a “certain country.” He expressed a willingness to assist Modi, stating, “I said, let me help; I am very good with those people.” Trump then proceeded to mimic Modi’s demeanor, suggesting a deep rapport between the two leaders. “I will do it; I will do anything necessary. We have defeated them for hundreds of years,” he claimed, alluding to India’s longstanding tensions with Pakistan, its nuclear-armed neighbor.
Trump’s remarks underscore not only his personal connection to Modi but also the geopolitical complexities in South Asia, particularly the enduring rivalry between India and Pakistan, marked by historical conflicts and accusations of cross-border terrorism. As the former president reflects on his relationship with the Indian leader, his comments highlight the intersection of personal diplomacy and international relations in a rapidly changing global landscape.
