SINO-WAHHABI GROUPS ATTACK MODI, TRUMP, ISHIBA AND YOON

NEW DELHI I n the 2024 Lok Sabha (LS) polls, despite a meticulously planned effort spanning multiple time zones, the BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi escaped from the 220-minus LS seats that had been the 2024 LS target of the Sino-Wahhabi lobby since the 2019 victory of the BJP in the LS polls. In the US, the electorate delivered a stinging shock to the Sino-Wahhabi alliance by voting in Donald Trump as the 47th President of the US. Trump's first term was sabotaged from within by his establishment Cabinet picks, who were opposed to the systemic change that the 45th President of the US had promised the electorate that he would initiate during his 2017-2021 term.

As a consequence, he lost the Presidential elections in 2020 to Joe Biden. Since 2021, the Biden administration worked hard to send Trump to prison, in the expectation that being a convicted and imprisoned felon would dent his electoral appeal. Had Biden ignored Trump in the way Trump had ignored Hillary Clinton after taking over as President in 2017, the Republican former President would have faded from public memory in the way Hillary Clinton did during the Trump years. Instead of downsizing his popularity, the persecution of ex-President Donald Trump by the Justice Department under President Biden once again brought the former President to centrestage, and added to his popularity rather than subtracting from it. Trump winning the 2024 US Presidential polls was a direct consequence of such persecution.
