    Today Trump mocked #India, a key US non-NATO partner that’s done major development work in #Afghanistan, for building a library there. Sigh.

        Our apologies to @PMOIndia, this US President has no understanding of the value of your gift, no understanding of the importance of knowledge nor intelligence. 😔it is doubtful he knows how to read, much less what a book is

        Does he even have slightest idea of what he has done. Narendra Modi is loved by Masses. Here in India, he is like father figure to us. By mocking him, Trump has successfully made 1 billion of new haters just in one day.

        Are you sure your father is truly your father and not some American is the real one. Because as far I Know Pakistan gets a lot of American fundings I don't know what they get in return.

        What do you think a barely literate man would think of building a library?

        America will never become FIRST, by insulting other countries. You provided guns which leads to wars. We provided Library which gives knowledge and finally it leads to peace.

        Donald Trump doesn’t speak for all Americans, and certainly not for me; we are trying to get rid of him. A library is magnificent, knowledge is true power; weapons are a sign of cowardice. #ImpeachTrump #DemsTakeTheHouse

        He didn't even speak for the majority when he won - he lost the majority vote by millions. Sadly, he's doing untold damage to the reputation of all of us around the world. Hopefully he won't be the unindicted co-conspirator #Individual1 for much longer. #WinterIsHere 🌨️❄️

        I voted, I wasn’t thrilled with the idea of Hillary Clinton for POTUS; but she’s much more qualified than he is. Trump makes up words and throws tantrums when he doesn’t get what he wants. #ImpeachTrump #TrumpResign
