    Indian officials tell multiple outlets they are confused by Trump claiming Modi constantly seeks praise for India building “a library” in Afghanistan, since India has funded lots of major projects there but no major library.https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/india-rejects-donald-trumps-jibe-at-pm-modi-on-afghanistan/articleshow/67364308.cms …

        Oh India! Someone needs to tell them that when our dear leader spews his usual vomit, he doesn’t mean ANY of it “factually”, but rather, as in any reality show, for the dramatic value. #ThisIsNotaRealityShow

        Yep, Presidunce Ignoranus Rumpkin is obviously trying to start a conflict between India and Afghanistan, just for the fireworks, to distract from Trump's failings and his criminal activities being shown the light of day.

        in case anyone is dismissing it, libraries and education resources in general are a great contribution to progress (economic prosperity & peace) in the developing world.

        He doesn’t know what things are: “Is that a bridge or a library?” Why not build him a treehouse and tell him it’s a border wall.

        India responded rationally, diplomatically, and at length. They should’ve just responded with a picture of one of their projects like the 218 km road from Zaranj to Delaram or the Salma Dam and added the caption: “Library?”

        He/She will also have to show facts for each public claim they make. I don't believe a single word anymore from a politician - left or right.

        Except Ignoranus Rumpkin won't ever read any of those books in that library. And unlike Andy Dufresne, Trump wouldn't be clever enough to tunnel his way to freedom.

        Even the word calculate is too complicated for him. PS, after this thread, I put on The Shawshank Redemption. 😉
