Over the past week Pakistan has seen widespread protest against the US government’s involvement in the affairs of the country and in light of this President Trump has been used as the face against which the protesters are rioting.
A Furious Pakistani mob burned an effigy of Trump during a rally against the US a week after he slammed Islamabad for harbouring terrorists.
What was interesting, however, was when a picture emerged of the protestors holding a banner that read ‘ Black history is American History’ in Karachi. Perhaps the Pakistani protesters have made mutual trump hatred they share with their American counterparts enough common ground to uphold the principles and ideals of the latter’s movement.
Or, what is more likely, the protestors are so blinded in their hate that they no longer care for the relevance, or lack thereof, of Trump’s policies against American minorities and instead advocate the idea that Trump’s elimination from the face of the free world, as evidenced by the big red cross on his face, is the solution to everyone’s problems with and within the United States.
A Pakistani man shouts anti-American slogans and another holds up a placard reading, ‘US President Donald Trump stupid, during a rally in Torkham, a border town along the Afghanistan border. It is interesting that the sign is written in English, perhaps they want the West to see that the signs and nod in agreement that indeed their leader is all things mentioned, including stupid.
The protestors were not the only group upset at Trump’s words against Islamabad, the government of Pakistan also postponed a visit by a U diplomat who had been dude to arrive Monday, a week after President Trump publicly upbraided Islamabad for harbouring militants attacking US and Afghan troops.
