The only reason he said that is he thinks Modi is Colonel Sanders.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he genuinely thought they were such good friends modi would just say he negotiated a ceasefire with Pakistan and expected modi to nominate him for a Nobel. he seems incapable of separating work/diplomacy to interpersonal relationships.

What trump says or thinks has no meaning.

All of this is not without substance.
Modi at one point of time sort of ‘campaigned’ for Trump , drawing ire from the democratic circles.
They cooperated really well in his first term.
All of these issues are reversible. But India will now be wary of US and won’t put all of its eggs in this basket.

Maybe friends with Modi, maybe not. Relations with India, however, are not going to be the same. Any party that comes into power for the next few years in India will lose face if they show any signs of friendship with the US as they will be blamed for surrendering.

I am beginning to see Socrates’ appeal that only those who’re trained in military, politics, diplomacy, law and administration right from their youth, should be allowed to stand for political elections or be allowed to vote in such elections.
Joe Biden might have been the modern day American version of Don Quixote or Mad King Lear, but even in abject senility there were things he wouldn’t do which are completely imbibed into his decision making muscle memory. Things such as “publicly chiding leaders of less powerful countries”, who’ll stand to lose face if they then succumb to pressure, rather than the more diplomatic ruse of “privately chiding while publicly bestowing dignity upon them”.

Flip! Flop! Flip! Flop! There he goes again, parroting the last person he talked to who sounded like they knew what they were doing. Because he barely has a clue and is deathly afraid his cult will find out.

Meanwhile most of India, including the Indian nationalists who shared Trump’s values, hates his guts now.
Modi can’t do anything to upset them, despite Trump thinking he can overcome that with the pOwEr oF fRiEnDsHiP.
Trump will end up on his deathbed with no friends.

In US political discourse we were always told that India isn’t a big deal for USA and they’re hardly discussed. That, more powerful countries such as Russia, China or the economic superpowers such as EU, Japan, South Korea or the geopolitically important countries such as Pakistan, Taiwan (also tech giant) were always more important to US political think tank.
But you’d only realise the value of a friend once you shoo him off and he goes to join the opponents. The importance of “India as a responsible friend, who wouldn’t support you full fledged, but at the same time will make matured decisions in global geopolitics” is being felt very starkly at present, for the first time in the history of US geopolitical discourse.
But I feel that once Trump is out and the next US President comes in, there will be advances made for a much more solid and a more permanent US-India relationship. The only thing that matters now is that Trump doesn’t further destroy the precariously placed relationship with India which is literally now the cat on a wall, standing on one leg, with huge gusts of winds blowing about making the poor creature lean towards the opponent’s fence.

He thinks *this statement* out of all things is an olive branch to a country that has previously been sanctioned by the US (1999-2000 by Clinton), threatened (Nixon 1971, the US literally sent nuclear submarines into India’s waters), protected enemies while they committed a genocide of millions in Bangladesh, armed against (loads of weapons including F16s given to Pakistan), but still India has tried to move towards the US in the last few years, knowing well India cannot move fully towards the US because India is not energy sufficient, depends on Russian weapons (the S400 literally stopped hundreds of people dying in May 2025 by stopping Pakistani airborne weapons from entering India) and is a country that cannot lean either way in the globe because of a domestic electorate of 1,400 million people who do not want India to lean either way. India has domestic consumption of 60%, the vast majority of the population also dependent on the government for many things – Modi knows these things and is seemingly ok with India growing slower for a couple of years while the Americans decide if they want another old clown as their leader.
