Current Events > Trump imitates Modi's Indian accent during Oval Office meetings, report claims

(+) Yeah! (+)

President Donald Trump is known to fake an Indian accent to imitate Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Oval Office meetings, according to a report.

The information surfaced at a time when Trump is being accused of racism for reportedly referring to places such as Haiti, El Salvador and some African nations as shithole countries during immigration talks. Many spectators said the comments were racist because the citizens of these countries are people of color.

Trump was also criticized in November when he referred to Senator Elizabeth Warren as Pocahontas, a reference that seemed to mock her assertion that she has Native American roots.

In addition, Trump was heavily criticized last summer when he made comments that appeared sympathetic to neo-Nazi and white supremacist demonstrators who marched in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Now, senior administration officials have told The Washington Post that Trump is known to use an Indian accent when imitating Modi, which adds another example to the accusations of racism.

Impressions are fine. A world leader mocking another like a child really isnt something that should be brushed off. Especially when the world leader in question is doing his best to hurt international relationships all over.

The funny thing is, I read about this the other day and the quote trump was allegedly mocking him for was a compliment he mistook for an attack.

Imitating someone's accent is in no way "racist". God what a horribly watered down word.

Im not surprised someone who praises racial and ethnic profiling cant see the differences between those situations

For the sake of argument, let's suppose this is true. Why is it a problem?

Really depends on how he did it. Also one is an entertainer and one is a government office. Cant compare the two.

This is my only account. I wasn't suspended or warned or anything. I just didn't post all that much in the last few weeks.

Let's just skip to the part where we debate whether this Joe Biden remark is better/worse/comparable to Trump's reported behavior.

You guys are crying racism, then when asked why it's racist, giving examples that it was just unprofessional.

Get on the same page with your anti-Trump talking points already.

Its not good on Joes part either. Was a stupid thing for him to say in his position. That said at the very least he doesnt have a history or show a pattern of behavior like this like Trump does.

I love seeing people defend shit like this because it just proves more and more that all the things black people said about the higher standard Obama was held to was right on the money. This country lost their shit when he said trayvon could have been his son, but it's cool for this guy to insult the counties of poor brown people and mock world leaders accents (let's be real, who here DOESNT think that man didn't say "thank you, come again!")

Y'all just couldn't be more obvious with the racially fueled double standards

I don't recall calling it racist myself.

It remains very unprofessional for a world leader to mock another like this and shows a large amount of immaturity. If someone random Joe wants to make fun of a world leader, then go ahead. But when you are someone in a significant position of importance you should at least act with some decorum.

That vid WAY more racist than just making the accent. That implies some ridiculous things about indians ... and 7/11s...

Trump just imitated another human being

Holy crap. Enough. We get it liberals are tired of losing, it's gonna continue if you keep crying racism...

It has to do with why you are doing impressions. It's fine if it's out of respect but not fine if used as an insult.

And I said it was bad on Joes part. The fact that trump has a pattern of shit like this makes it harder to give him the benefit of the doubt. What point are you trying to make?...but you showed your bias with that last sentence. Try to be a little more subtle next time.

That's not really a fair example.

In this case, the writers for the show are making a casually racist joke because they think it will be funny. Same thing Trump is doing. Being casually racist because he thinks he's funny.

So Trump will have no problem coming out and saying that, right?

"Yeah, I was being casually racist, but it was for comedic effect! Those big bang guys do it all the time!"

agreed, you only break character on rare occasion.

but i do find it quite humorous that you didn't deny the accusation of being a gimmick account :)
