India hastily erected a 7-foot wall so Trump wouldn’t see a slum on his way to a rally
Bill Bostock
Authorities earlier this month commissioned a 1,640-foot-long, 7-foot-high brick wall along a road near the Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad, Reuters reported.
Trump spoke at the stadium as part of India’s “Namaste Trump” rally on Monday morning.

The new brick wall obscured the homes of 2,000 people living in the slum, according to the Associated Press.
“Apart from security reasons, the wall is also part of a beautification and cleanliness drive,” said Mayor Bijal Patel of Ahmedabad, according to the AP.
“Whenever ministers visit the area, they hide it with temporary green curtains,” a resident of the slum told the BBC. “They are building a wall this time. The curtains are taken down eventually, but this wall will remain.”
“Poverty and slums are the reality of our life, but Modi’s government wants to hide the poor,” Parvatbhai Mafabhai, a 30-year resident of the slum, told Reuters.

Forty-five families living in a separate slum near the Sardar Patel Stadium were supplied with eviction notices in advance of Trump’s visit, The Guardian reported. Stray dogs, cats, and monkeys were also cleared from the area.
Trump did not mention his trip through the city to the stadium when he addressed the 100,000 Indians gathered there.
Trump visited the Taj Mahal after his speech. He is to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday to discuss bilateral relations.

'Dooh-Laan Trump': Internet breaks into fits following Modi's speech gaffe
By Entertainmen
Published: February 24, 2020
It’s been only hours since Donald Trump landed in India and already his name has been linked with well, the human anatomy. Again. This time by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The PM in his speech where he labeled president Trump as ‘India’s friend’ accidentally mispronounced his first name, switching the l and n. Too cryptic? See for yourself.
As expected, memers had a field day with this. Perhaps it’s just too much fodder for even the dankeist of meme lords.
With such visits you expect discussions on economic growth, not death on an entire industry with a single blow. Stand up comedians in India should’ve listened to their parents and become doctors.
Well, it does seem likely that Trump’s talk of peace between Pakistan and India made Modi a tad bit passive-aggressive.
It wasn’t just Modi who took liberties with his speech. Trump during his turn at the podium also called Modi a ‘chi wala‘ as he referenced the latter’s previous profession of serving chai at hotels.
But that still doesn’t even come close to Modi’s possible power move.
