India rolled out the "MAGA red carpet" as President Trump was greeted by hundreds of thousands during his first ever official visit to the country.
"America loves India, America respects India, and America will always be faithful and loyal friends to the Indian people," President Trump told a crowd that was reported by the NPR and others at over 100,000 people in the newly opened Motera cricket stadium on Monday, after the president began with the Indian greeting of "Namaste."
"From this day on, India will always hold a very special place in our hearts," Trump said, standing alongside his host, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Trump called Modi "a man I am proud to call my true friend." He further praised India as a successful democracy and natural friend of the Untied States. "Nearly 1 in 4 Indian Americans trace their roots right here in Gujarat," Trump said before the cheering crowd.
Pew Research asked the Indian public if they have confidence in Trump doing the right thing regarding world affairs and a 56 percent majority said they have.

Yeah, but the large crowd was hoodwinked into rocking up to the stadium. They all thought they were there to see a cricket match... true story.

These are probably the sales that they agreed on six or seven years ago, and are just getting around to signing the contracts for. India is the only country I've seen that makes the US procurement system look competent.
