Trump used accent to imitate India's prime minister: report

Source: The Hill




BY AVERY ANAPOL - 01/22/18 10:13 AM EST

President Trump reportedly uses an accent to imitate Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Senior administration officials told The Washington Post that Trump has been known to “affect an Indian accent” to quote Modi, who last year condemned U.S. activity in Afghanistan during a private meeting with Trump.

“Never has a country given so much away for so little in return,” Modi said at the time.

The U.S. Army is currently preparing to increase its presence in Afghanistan by as many as 1,000 more troops, according to the Post. Trump has already added at least 5,500 service members since taking office.

But to Trump's mouth breathing base they will see Trump making
fun of Modi's accent as clever.
