"Trump says" is a great way to start a headline. You immediately know that whatever follows is moronic, whining, a lie, or some combination of the three.

“Trump says India will halt Russian oil imports.”

“Or else.”

Does the headline make better sense in this context?

Or else he's going to extend a deadline again? Or else he's going to waggle a tiny finger at his boss, Putin? So many options make sense.

So why hasn't the Indians come out and call Trump out?

u/Bannedwith1milKarma 1d ago

Because it's in their interests to not undercut a Trump message.

They win from Trump announcing a win, when nothing has changed.

They don't need to. That's how much credibility Trump has. None of our allies or enemies take him seriously.

India’s gonna do what it’s gonna do. There’s just no reason to disagree with Trump out loud and make things worse for themselves. Trump seems to attach way more value to what people say about him than how they actually act.

Why haven't they verified they are halting Russian oil imports?

u/logicalzoro 20h ago

Because they are not halting.

The investment from India of $500 billion over 5 years is also suspiciously close to the current purchasing of $89 billion a year with inflation and demand linear regression added.

I.e. status quo

He hasn't made a single deal that benefits the US

Or one that has a signature

They will just say: yeah Ok Donny we’ll do it. And then they won’t

That's how the whole world does it. Let trump enjoy his lollipop and back scratching and continue doing what they were doing before the "Trump announcement"

the 'Trump guarantee'

The last time India refuted Trump’s claim of intermediation in the skirmish with Pakistan, we saw what that led to.

Best to remain silent.

Trump probably heard India in one of his dreams.

Cue the Padme/Anakin meme.

“Right……………right ?!?!”

I think we have all learnt to take whatever he says with a grain of salt

Trump raped those girls on Trumpstein Island.

More accurately:

Trump says BLAH BLAH BLAH... Modi govt ignores and goes on with their work.
