Donald Trump should try to better reign in his shameless bouts of butt kissing. (Of course, there are always selfish purposes behind it.) In this case, he's got a whole country in his sights. India. More specifically,
Indians who are Hindus...The twist here is that, unlike his objections to other races, Trump is a fan and is courting their vote. The good feelings are mutual. There is a political demographic in the South Asian country which is passionately nationalistic. And this is where they and The Donald jive, according to a fascinating article in the New York Times. The common ground includes strong anti-Muslim sentiment, a drive to lessen immigration and shore up borders, pushing development as a key driver, and a return to the "greatness" of an earlier time. The culmination of all of this is a new commercial in which Trump says "We love the Hindus."
