Who is Michael Savage, who wrote India is hell, Trump’s repost created an uproar, Indian government also gave this reply

Once again a big controversy has arisen in American politics. US President Trump reposted a post in which objectionable words were used against countries like India and China. This post was by the famous but controversial radio host Michael Savage, who made sharp statements against Asian countries while commenting on Birthright Citizenship.

This matter has also become serious because this statement has come at a time when the debate regarding birthright citizenship in America has reached the US Supreme Court. Sharing this post by Trump not only reflects his stance, but it has also started criticizing it at the international level.

Why did Trump share such a post?

Actually, Michael Savage had written a long post opposing birthright citizenship. He claimed that a child born in America gets citizenship immediately, and then his family members also come to the country on the same basis.

In his post, Savage wrote that ‘As soon as a child is born here, he immediately becomes a citizen and then they bring their entire family here from China, India or any other ‘hell-like’ country in the world.’ US President Trump reposted this statement on his platform TruthSocial, which has deepened the controversy.

Is Trump’s claim on birthright citizenship true?

Trump had recently claimed in an interview that “America is the only country in the world where birthright citizenship is available.” But this claim is factually incorrect. In fact, there are about three dozen countries where citizenship is granted on the basis of birth, which includes Canada, Mexico and many countries in South America.

When Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal was asked about US President Trump’s Truth Social post, he said, “We have seen some reports… That’s all I would like to say.”
