US Democrats Slam Trump Over Hellholes Remark on India, Other Countries

Democrat leaders slammed US President Donald Trump for referring to India and some other countries as "hellholes" and accused him of turning the presidency into a reality TV gig by amplifying "racist trash" on social media. 

"Americans are struggling, and he's busy amplifying racist trash on social media, treating the presidency like a reality TV gig. 

This is a serious moment. Our



country deserves leadership that acts like it," the House Foreign Affairs Committee-Democrats said in a post on X.

The remarks came after Trump on Thursday kicked off a row by reposting comments by American radio show host Michael Savage that contained derogatory references to India. 

Savage had made the comments in the context of a case in the US Supreme Court challenging birthright citizenship.
