South Carolina: US President Donald Trump has said that he may never be excited about a crowd again after going to India. He was addressing a rally in South Carolina, days after his maiden visit to India where he addressed a rally of over 100,000 people.
Addressing his supporters at this rally, the US President spoke about the ‘Namaste, Trump’ event at the Motera stadium. “In India, I hate to say this to you, they actually have a 129,000-seat stadium. Did you see it? The place was packed, and they did better than most. They gave me credit for 100,000. That was not bad. It’s 129. The stadium holds 100. They had a field that’s about three times… it’s Cricket. It’s the biggest stadium. And they had 129,” Trump said.
Heaping praises at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trump said that he shared the stage with Modi, who is a great guy and is loved by the people of India.
” … We had an amazing thing. And I went in, and here’s the problem. This is a big crowd and normally I like talking about my crowd because I get the crowds like nobody, but I just got back from 140 or 50 or 60,000 people and now I am coming here. What does this place hold, 15? It’s hard to be enthused. You understand that? Imay never be excited again about a crowd after going to India. Think of this, they have 1.5 billion people. We have 350, so we are doing pretty well, I will tell you what, but I love this crowd and I love that crowd too. (sic)” he said.
Calling his 36-hour India tour a “worthwhile trip”, Trump said, “They have great love. They have a great leader, and they have a great love for the people of this country.”
