It took no time for Twitter’s algorithm to detect the criticism hurled at Trump ahead of his crucial maiden visit to India and pull the tweets down. 

One such trend #IndiaRejectTrumpVisit with over 37K tweets in the first few hours on Friday was pulled down and was found much below the trends having far less tweets as compared to this hashtag. 

On Friday around 10 pm, alarm bells suddenly began to ring for Twitter when  the hashtag #IndiaRejectTrumpVisit  appeared  and soon become one of the  top trends with over 30K tweets in the first two hours. 

Trump, who has over 72.7M followers on Twitter is known for his love of Twitter and loose cannon approach to tweeting. It took no time for Twitter to pull the hashtag down, and it vanished from the top trending column.

Initially promoted by Twitter handle TM group, a social media group, the hashtag portrayed some of the most hilarious memes on the social media site.

The group members questioned the  cause of delay in striking the trade deal between India and  USA. India-US trade deal seems to hang in  balance a week before the scheduled visit of US President Donald Trump.

While both the countries had agreed upon to discuss critical issues like the contracts on crude oil and natural gas during the two days visit, contentious issues like the market access for agriculture products like dairy items, and medical equipments too were expected to be discussed. Twitteratis however seemed unimpressed. 

Twitteratis also expressed anger over the building of the new 1,640 feet wall built in Ahmedabad to hide slums from view during ‘Namaste Trump’ presidential visit. They said that the money should instead be spent for the welfare of the people living in these slums.

Reuters reported that the Gujarat exchequer alone will spend somewhere between Rs 80-85 crore in preparation for Trump’s scheduled three-hour visit to Ahmedabad. 

The most hilarious ones were posted on the President’s Donald Trump’s awaiting  his public reception of 7 million people from airport to the stadium.

Taking potshots at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trump has recently stated that he has been promised  seven million people to welcome him between the airport and the event.

“And the stadium, I understand, is sort of semi under construction, but it’s going to be the largest stadium in the world. So it’s going to be very exciting… I hope you all enjoy it,” he told reporters.

 While the Indian government is in  tizzy to fulfil Modi’s promise made to Trump, Twitterati slammed the US President for behaving like a baby. 

 The people did not leave Prime Minister Narendra Modi and took potshots at the Gujarat model of governance.

Twitteratis expressed anger over the Union government spending  over 100 crore (1000 million) on Trump’s visit to India  and his road show. ” This is our money . The government is not spending that much for us and plz don’t come,” said a user. 

Some also urged Trump to visit 30 to 40 Indian cities on quarterly basis so that they could could get cleanest and potholes free roads on regular basis.
