Former U.S. President Donald Trump openly condemned recent acts of violence against Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh, pledging stronger support for Hindu Americans if he wins the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Trump criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for allegedly neglecting Hindus globally amid ongoing crises affecting minority communities.
Trump pointed to the chaotic situation in Bangladesh, where he claimed attacks on Hindu and Christian minorities have intensified. In a post shared on X, he stated, “I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos.” His comments reflect growing concerns about communal violence and the perceived lack of international response.
The former president also used the platform to draw attention to his Democratic rivals, asserting that Biden and Harris have turned a blind eye to Hindu communities both abroad and within the United States. “It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border, but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back Peace through Strength!” Trump added, highlighting his administration’s commitment to global religious freedoms.

Promising To Defend Hindu American Interests
In his address, Trump further pledged that under his leadership, Hindu Americans would receive stronger advocacy against what he referred to as the “anti-religion agenda of the radical left.” The former president has often positioned himself as a defender of religious liberties and traditional values, and he emphasized that a future administration under his leadership would reinforce these principles.
Strengthening U.S.-India Ties
Trump also reaffirmed his commitment to strengthen U.S.-India relations, noting his rapport with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He stated, “Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good friend, Prime Minister Modi.” His message underscored the importance of bolstering alliances with countries like India, especially as global challenges mount.
Criticism Of Harris’s Policies And Economic Vision
Trump contrasted his economic policies with those of the Biden-Harris administration, specifically criticizing Vice President Harris for her approach to business regulations. “Kamala Harris will destroy your small businesses with more regulations and higher taxes. By contrast, I cut taxes, cut regulations, unleashed American energy, and built the greatest economy in history,” Trump wrote. He assured followers of a prosperous future under his leadership, promising to “Make America Great Again” with an economic resurgence even greater than before.
Trump closed his message with Diwali greetings, expressing hope that the holiday’s spirit of triumph of good over evil would resonate widely. “Happy Diwali to All. I hope the Festival of Lights leads to the Victory of Good over Evil!” he posted, reaching out to Hindu Americans and others celebrating the festival.
