Leaders such as Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter too have passed racist comments but Trump's latest verbal assault on 4 Congresswomen is a contender for a top spot.
The Maldives offers Modi one of his gravest foreign policy challenges to date. He had made a reputation as a man of iron. Let him not let that iron go to rust.

America has always been the greatest threat to world peace; and under Trump it has only got worse. A senior Indian diplomat told me that he will in all likelihood be re-elected in 2020, because he caters to the same audience that is scared of the “foreign hand”; a ploy that Indira Gandhi, and more recently Modi, used to telling effect.
President Trump one has stopped thinking about completely. If God is kind, he will be a one term President. If not, people far above our pay grade will deal with the situation.

There are many customers / consumers for what resides in his soul.
