Trump bragging about fleecing India and the Godi media celebrating it. A 1.4 billion nation reduced to a transactional joke under this leadership. Embarrassing.
"Now it is the exact reverse and we are making a lot of money with India."
Read that line from Trump slowly.
While the Godi media treats a patronising pat on the head from Trump like a geopolitical victory, Trump just openly admitted to the entire world that his administration is financially squeezing India dry under Narendra Modi's watch.
Trump isn't describing a strategic ally; he is describing a cash cow.
Modi has traded India's economic sovereignty, energy security, and global leverage for personal validation and a photo-op in the Oval Office.
A sovereign nation of 1.4 billion people has been reduced to a transactional joke. 🇮🇳 💔
#WATCH | President Donald Trump says, "For years, India took advantage of the United States... They charged us tremendous tariffs and paid nothing... Now it is the exact reverse and we are making a lot of money with India. But we will get to a deal because I like your Prime Minister a lot; he is a good friend of mine, and we get along well. We have a good relationship."

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, I want to ask every young Indian one question:
What kind of India do you want to inherit?
One where rainforests have been bulldozed for casinos, coral reefs erased from maps, tribal communities pushed off their land, and the air we breathe turned into poison?
Or one where India’s natural heritage is protected, our tribal communities are safe, and progress works with nature - not against it.
Right now, the Modi government is destroying Great Nicobar Island. More than 1.5 crore trees, ancient coral reefs, irreplaceable rainforests are being destroyed - to profit one businessman.
This is your inheritance they are bulldozing. And only you can stop them.
Sign the petition. Tell the Modi government we choose #GreenOverGreed 🇮🇳

Trump slapping more sanctions and a fuel blockade on Cuba’s already fucked economy. This is peak vindictive bullshit from a guy who loves punishing regular people.
Cuba’s already-struggling economy has been further squeezed by sanctions and a fuel blockade imposed by the Trump administration. But millions of Cubans are still going, living the tenet of resistance, thanks to decades of experience in surviving hardships https://t.co/lAez1OSnpw
In a country where countless politicians, celebrities, media anchors and businessmen have sold themselves, bowed down in front of fascist powers, in fear of getting arrested.
People like Abhijeet are a rare gem, truly brave and fearless.
Mayor Zohran actually fighting for delivery drivers against Amazon's corporate greed. Routes, quotas, cameras but no real benefits? This is how you stand up for regular people.
Amazon sets the routes, the quotas, the uniforms, the cameras — and then tells workers they don't actually work for Amazon. Every delivery worker in this city should be able to afford to live here and have their rights respected.
Workers deserve better.
