Trump Praises Modi on Flagrant Podcast

Former US President Donald Trump, currently a Republican presidential candidate, praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as both a 'total killer' and the 'nicest human being' on the Flagrant podcast hosted by Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh. Trump emphasized the strong rapport he shares with Modi, recalling their joint appearance at the 'Howdy, Modi' event in Houston, Texas in 2019, which attracted tens of thousands of Indian-Americans. He also highlighted Modi's steadfast leadership, especially in the face of threats to India, suggesting Modi's toughness in dealing with adversaries, implicitly referring to Pakistan. Trump's remarks come amidst his ongoing election campaign where he continues to discuss foreign policy matters and his relationships with international leaders. Modi is described by Trump as a transformative leader who stabilized India's political landscape, which he claimed was unstable before Modi's tenure began in 2014. The podcasts and subsequent media coverage underscore the diplomatic relationship between Trump and Modi, which was notably warm during Trump's presidency.
