“I am a big fan of Hindu and a big fan of India,” said Donald Trump to attendees at a recent rally hosted by the Republican Hindu Coalition in New Jersey. As reported by the Washington Post, "This was a Donald Trump rally like no other."
Quartz describes the disturbing opening performance:
"The show opened with terror-themed skit. Two couples began a slow waltz, with the US flag as a backdrop. The background switched abruptly to flames as bearded men, their faces covered, wearing robes and carrying comically large guns, attacked, as evil laughter erupted from the speakers. As the dancers sat cowering in the middle of the stage, six men dressed as police officers stormed the stage and mock-killed the two men playing terrorists. Then all ten stood up and placed their right hands on their hearts as the star spangled banner played, and the crowd put away their snacks to stand for the national anthem. After a somber moment, the music switched suddenly to “Born in the USA” as performers danced energetically with American flags."
The performances continued with appearances from Shriya Saran, Prabhu Deva and other Indian celebrities.
Just when you thought the U.S. elections couldn't get any more, um 'interesting'.
