From Modi To Tanmay Bhat: India’s Mixed Reactions To Trump’s Win

Indian tweeple seem to be sharply divided over Trump’s victory.

The world is stunned. Donald Trump has won the 2016 US presidential election. What began as a good lead for Hillary Clinton soon turned into a nail-biting election. The rest of the world watched as the US decided its fate for the next (at least) 4 years.

The United States of America or Divided States of America: Which will it be? Only time will tell.

Meanwhile, here’s what India feels about Trump’s presidency:

Some Welcome the Trump Triumph...

Congratulations @realDonaldTrump on being elected as the 45th US President.

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) November 9, 2016

We look forward to working with you closely to take India-US bilateral ties to a new height. @realDonaldTrump

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) November 9, 2016

We appreciate the friendship you have articulated towards India during your campaign, @realDonaldTrump.

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) November 9, 2016

The world will never be the same. Someone never a politician, becomes president of the most powerful country! Congrats @realDonaldTrump

Contrary to belief, @realDonaldTrump will speak responsibly now. Make the naughtiest boy in class the monitor, and he behaves very well.

America a divided society. Those who disliked Hillary a little more than those who feared Trump. #trumpwins

Trump as President already sounds very different from Trump as challenger.......

#Trump became President Trump.
So many sympathised with him.
He may be the 1st person to win an election on a Sympathy Vote, for an Asshole.
