US President Donald Trump is an American businessman and politician affiliated with the Republican Party. He served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021 and was re-elected as the 47th president after winning the November 2024 election.
His first term was defined by a trade war with China, tense exchanges with North Korea, and his controversial push to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to curb immigration.
At the start of his second term, Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, straining relations with America’s closest neighbors despite the NAFTA and USMCA trade agreements. He also stirred controversy with his remarks about Panama’s control of its canal and his reported interest in purchasing Greenland from Denmark—a proposal widely dismissed by Danish officials.
Trump became the first U.S. president to be impeached twice and one of the few to lose a re-election bid before staging a political comeback. He began his career in the family real estate business, later becoming a real estate tycoon and reality TV host before entering politics in 2016. His presidency and post-presidency have been clouded by legal troubles, including multiple felony charges and civil cases. The most infamous controversy remains his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s victory. In 2024, Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally while he was campaigning for presidency.
Kudos to President Trump for doing what should have been done decades ago. It takes immense courage and genuine patriotism to do the right thing – to take the principled and moral stand.
No doubt, it will earn him a million detractors around the world, people will hurl abuses and expletives at him – yet a true leader has to take it in his stride.
Any illegal immigrant anywhere on earth is unwelcome. It’s a crime to cross borders without prior permission (usually in the form of visa). Entering a nation illegally must result in immediate deportation.
Are we in India ready to indulge the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh? Or the Rohingyas from Myanmar? If we ourselves are not ready to accept illegal immigrants from neighbouring nations, why would we expect the USA to do so? Is this not the textbook definition of “hypocrisy”?
Other western nations like the UK, France and Germany must learn from the USA. These nations, along with the Scandinavian nations, have been overrun by illegal immigrants. One hopes the political leadership of these nations will wake up from their stupor and follow in the footsteps of the USA.
The Print editorial board seems to be heavily dominated by members of the Left-liberal cabal.
Why on earth would Colombia not accept it’s own citizens? The fact that Colombia wishes to disown it’s own people, tells us a lot about the quality of the people being deported.
The USA must have cracked down on illegal immigrants a long time ago.
President Trump must be appreciated for getting rhe job done.
If India wishes to avoid such humiliation, the best course of action would be to come clean and accept our own folks who have migrated illegally to the USA. In fact, we should take the initiative and arrange for airlifting of those Indians identified as illegal immigrants by the US agencies.
A nation not accepting back it’s own citizens who have migrated illegally to other nations is shameful. Not only shameful but sickening too.
The world may not wish to be bent to President Trump’s will. Sincerely hope India will stand proud.
