Mumbai, August 1: A social media post claiming that former US President Donald Trump criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi over trade tariffs and lack of acknowledgment is going viral. The post, allegedly shared by an X user, claims Donald Trump expressed frustration over India's "total silence" despite receiving favourable deals and support from the United States. The viral message is being widely circulated across X, formerly Twitter, with many users assuming it to be genuine.

A user shared a screenshot carrying the post by Donald Trump on X. "Now he is behaving like a jilted lover and Modiji giving him silent treatment ," the user wrote while sharing the screenshot. In the viral post, Trump allegedly writes, "So hard to believe that Prime Minister Modi STILL hasn't responded to my tweets, statements, or tariff concerns. We gave India so much great deals, defense support, big crowds and yet, TOTAL SILENCE. Not even a thank you! Don't forget I'm the one who got India and Pakistan to declare a ceasefire. Nobody else could do that. MANY people said I should've gotten the Nobel Prize for it!! India continues to benefit while American workers suffer. I've always liked Modi, but this kind of disrespect will NOT be forgotten. Bad for business. Bad for friendship. #AmericaFirst." Did India Declare a Financial Emergency After USD 60 Billion Market Crash Triggered by Donald Trump’s Tariff?

However, a review of Donald Trump's official Truth Social feed reveals that no such post exists. The viral message attributed to him does not appear anywhere on his verified account.
