WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump’s first tweet of 2018 accusing Pakistan of ‘deceit and lies’ against the aid provided to it was his most liked tweet ever.

According to Twitter analytics, Trump’s tweet in which he was apparently seething, for handing over $33b to Pakistan in terms of assistance (though the figures are disputed) was favourited for a record 253 K times, which is still counting.

The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!



Moreover, the message was also retweeted for a record 85,000 times, his highest ever figure.

The outlandish tweet, that left Islamabad in shock and anger for having provided matchless support to Washington in war against terror engaged a record Twitterati (33,8112).


The reason for the engagements is the fact that due to penetration of internet, Pakistani’s who are in droves on the microblogging platform, felt humiliated by the allegations of providing safe havens to the terrorists and so responded the tweet with anger.

Pakistan has yet to give an official rejoiner to Trump’s remarks and a special meeting of National Security Council has been convened today.

Hmmn not the first time sanctions have been placed. But will Pakistan close the supply line? remains to be seen.

Not going to happen. I was listening to Husain Haqqani on the radio on my way home from work today. He said Pakistan is dysfunctional state and will only make temporary noise for domestic consumption but will ultimately accept the decision. He’s spot on. This is the state that made someone like him an ambassador and dismissed legal case him so he can leave the country and continue his campaign to undermine his country’s credibility. Such a state that lacks basic accountability has no credibility. So yes there will be few noises about sacrifices made and semantics of the dollar figure but separately GoP will plead its case and beg for some respite. This is a country whose leadership both civil and military lack basic self-respect and a diplomatic language of the 1970s and 1980s. It’s a totally irrelevant establishment

You got everything right and spot. This is a country where Shahrukh Jatoi who killed a youngster on street of Karachi goes out of jail as a free citizen. This was an open and shut case of deliberate murder where no investigation was needed. Just straight walk to gallows. A country that has no self respect, that has no basic justice, deserves no respect, no sympathy.

I just wanted to add this to your Hussain Haqqani point.

And it’s sad because Pakistan has all the ingredients of a significant regional power but instead time and again chooses to behave like a banana republic to be humiliated and ridiculed.

Looks like the Indian troll army is in full gear for 2018 ...

I guess, US Soldiers in Afghanistan will be the worst victims of such actions of US against Pakistan.

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

they just want our nuclear weapons. only hurdle in greater Israel and new world order plans.
all of the other stuff is just a drama.

 

[airmarshal]

This is a very sensible analysis.

We are a country who cant pay our bills. Trump knows it. We are weak and they can get a good deal through threats.

smelly Indians have nothing better to do.

sad sad nation

You will be incredibly dull to think this has anything to do with Midterm elections or even Trump. This is a culmination of a downward process that has been taking shape since 2009

Partially correct. But this would not have happened under Hillary or even GWB. Trump has been wishy washy and erratic since becoming the president... against several countries btw.

Just be honest yourself. How much % of the retweets/favourites would have been by bharatis? It would be no less than 90%.
