Former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing him as “calm, cool, and a total killer.” Trump made the remarks while speaking at a fundraising event, seemingly contrasting Modi’s demeanor with his own. He did not elaborate on what he meant by “killer,” but the comment drew attention for its unusual phrasing. This is not the first instance of Trump expressing admiration for Modi; the two leaders previously shared a close working relationship during Trump’s presidency. The statement comes as both leaders face ongoing political scrutiny in their respective countries. Analysts suggest Trump’s comments may be an attempt to highlight perceived strengths in Modi’s leadership style.
