Merely days after returning from his maiden visit to India, President of the United States (US) of America Donald Trump said that he has been spoiled by the megacrowds of India and may never be excited again about a crowd, reports Hindustan Times.
Addressing a rally in South Carolina on Saturday (29 February), President Trump talked about the ‘Namaste Trump’ mega event which he attended alongside Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi in the world’s largest cricket stadium christened Motera in Gujarat State’s Ahmedabad city.
President Trump said, “This is a big crowd. I like talking about my crowds because I get crowds like nobody, but I just got back from 140 or 50 or 60,000 people and now I’m coming here.”
President Trump added, “I may 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’re doing pretty well, I’ll tell you what, but I love this crowd, and I love that crowd too… That was really a worthwhile trip.”
During his visit to India, US President also visited Sabarmati Ashram and taj Mahal before landing in New Delhi where he held bilateral meetings with PM Modi and also attended a pompous banquet hosted in his honour by President Ram Nath Kovind.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
