Most Indian journalists are extremely hostile to Donald Trump. "Talk of a coup in the world's premier democracy is ticking up after US President Donald Trump fired the top Pentagon leadership and replaced them on Tuesday with loyalists, including Indian-American aide Kash Patel, while refusing to concede the election," was a ridiculous report by Chidanand Rajghatta. "Given Trump's unashamed racism and sexism, the mostly morality-neutral discussion of what India might have gained from his re-election has been distressing," wrote Rahul Jacob. "Trump's former strategist and multi-millionaire Steve Bannon liked to argue that this (Trump's) base signalled a revolt against the elites, a line of argument parroted by some Indian commentators with a similar lack of irony." Trump has repeatedly claimed that Democrats 'stole' the election, which is vehemently denied by the hostile media. Why is it impossible when Democrats schemed to get Bernie Sanders to drop out of the primaries? "Dozens of interviews with Democratic establishment leaders this week show that they are not just worried about Mr Sanders's candidacy, but are also willing to risk intraparty damage to stop his nomination at the national convention in July if they get the chance," wrote Lerer and Epstein. Democrats without Democracy. "As Thomas Piketty, among others, has noted, parties of the left have increasingly become the parties of educated, metropolitan elites," wrote Prof Dani Rodrik. "The problem is not just that these elites often favor economic policies that leave middle and lower-middle classes and lagging regions behind. It is also their cultural, social, and spatial isolation renders them incapable of understanding and empathizing with worldviews of the less unfortunate." Democrat presidential candidate in 2016 Hillary Clinton said Trump's supporters are a "basket of deplorables" and that "The're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic -- you name it." Joe Biden, who claims to have won the election despite Trump getting a record number of popular votes, said Trump supporters are "ugly folks" and "chumps". Democrat Bill Clinton imposed tough sanctions on India after our nuclear test in 1998 and the icon of Democrat elites Barack Obama supplied F16 aircraft and advanced weapons to Pakistan after Pakistan's ISI helped the US kill Osama Bin Laden in 2011 for Obama to win re-election in 2012. So why do Indian journalists support Biden? Because they hope that he will increase H-1B visas and green cards for Indians. So that their children can escape from India. Their hatred of Trump is because he made it more difficult. So much for Mother India.
