President Trump’s repeated claims about having “solved” the India-Pakistan war infuriated Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India. And that was only the beginning.

During a phone call on June 17, Mr. Trump brought it up again, saying how proud he was of ending the military escalation. He mentioned that Pakistan was going to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, an honor for which he had been openly campaigning. The not-so-subtle implication, according to people familiar with the call, was that Mr. Modi should do the same.
The Indian leader bristled. He told Mr. Trump that U.S. involvement had nothing to do with the recent cease-fire. It had been settled directly between India and Pakistan.
Trump 🤝 Putin Turning yesterday’s friends into today’s rivals.
Pooty now has soured previously cordial relations with Azerbaijan like that, and Armenia began to distance itself from Russia too.
Orange has that with… well… almost everyone.
That’s why he was put into power, because everything Trump touches turns to shit.
The Mierdas Touch.
