'Enough already!' MAGA's new target is also a key Trump voting bloc

MAGA extremists are turning their attention to Indian Americans, attacking the key Trump voting bloc over the president's trade fallout with India.

Indian Americans played a major role in Trump's victory in the 2024 election, yet the relationship between some conservative Indian Americans and MAGA is strained with backlash over Indian immigrants coming to the U.S. on H-1B visas, MSNBC reports.

"America does not need more visas for people from India," Charlie Kirk, MAGA influencer, posted on X in response to FOX News anchor Laura Ingram's post. "Perhaps no form of legal immigration has so displaced American workers as those from India. Enough already. We’re full. Let’s finally put our own people first."

As Trump's tariffs backfire, it's pushed former Trump ally Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi closer to China, with Modi visiting the country for the first time in seven years, attending a gathering in China alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Modi was seen driving in Putin's limousine, a move signifying the two leaders coming closer following Trump's tariffs, the New York Times reports.

After the meeting, Trump posted on Truth Social that the relationship between India and Russia had soured.

"Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China. May they have a long and prosperous future together!" Trump wrote.

The Trump administration slapped India with its highest tariff rate of 50%; a 25% baseline tariff, and an additional 25% secondary tariff as a penalty for its continued purchasing of Russian oil. Trump was reportedly “completely upset” with India over its refusal to halt its purchasing of Russian oil.

American presidents have tried to maintain a good relationship with India over trading for decades.

Modi refused to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after tensions between India and Pakistan from earlier this year settled and the president claimed to have "solved" the war, which infuriated Modi, The Times reports.
