Over 100,000 brown bodies came out a couple days ago to welcome President Trump in India. Yes, despite the claims of leftists that he is a terrible racist, he manages to get non-whites to support him. The travel writer Paul Theroux in his book Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, which is about his second time traveling by train in Asia, mentions somewhere that he hadn’t met anyone in Asia who liked President George W. Bush, but clearly Trump is liked.
I also have to question Theroux’s claim. I recall reading an essay – which I am not going to try to track down – written in about 2002 by a New York liberal teaching in Syria who was surprised at the support that Bush had there, not just among Christians, but also among Muslims.
