Whenever he has mentioned our country, it has been in one of two ways----
India, the country that “is doing great” these days, that he sees not as an “emerging market” but an “amazing market.” This India is an opportunity—among other things, the site of future Trump-branded properties.
On another occasion, he declared—India, the country that’s taking American jobs and, along with China and other countries, eating America’s lunch—or, as Trump has put it, its candy. This India is a challenge, a country that “takes advantage” and is “ripping off the U.S.”
Not unusually, Trump’s categories aren’t neatly divided. For example, at an event, he first mimicked Indian call centre workers to complain about outsourcing but then said, “India is a great place.” He’s complained about Indians taking American jobs, but also emphasised that he has “tremendous jobs” going up in India!!
Indians have taken a greater than usual interest in this election and in Trump. On the one hand, he is a presidential nominee that is more familiar to Indians than any other candidate has been in history; on the other, perhaps the least familiar one—at least in terms of his politics and policies. There have been multiple discussions about whether Trump would be good or bad for India. There’s been coverage of Indian-Americans who support or oppose Trump, as well as attention on—and criticism about—his views of minorities and immigrants.
Some believe that Republicans have been better for India than Democrats—but Trump is not a typical Republican, and many Republicans they know in the foreign policy establishment have said they’d never work in a Trump administration
