If 3% of Indians love Trump, that's more than his base back here. Maybe he'd like to stay.

If you haven't seen John Oliver's show from this past Sunday, it's well worth the time (as it always is) -- it focuses on Modi and how he's trying to turn his Muslim population into non-citizens in their own country. Though the best part is when he brings up how tRump and Melons might decide to visit that most romantic spot, the Taj Mahal (no, the real one). Gaspingly funny stuff.

The funniest thing I've read about this trip is that no one is really sure how to feed him, because India is largely vegetarian and the Orange Horror has never eaten a vegetable in his life. They'll probably either 1) sneak him stuff that was prepared by the chef on Air Force One; or 2) serve him Impossible or Beyond Beef burgers, as he won't have a clue how to tell the difference anyway.

The military should whisk the first family and their retinue away to a place of safety, and then just forget exactly where that is. Maybe somewhere in India.

There was a court case about it a couple of years ago.https://www.theguardian.com...It's no co-incidence that Modi skipped Agra and went straight to Delhi.

They are poor and uneducated, unlike Desis.
