For the third time in a year, the Republican frontrunner discussed Pakistan and the need to eliminate its nuclear arsenal.
Between mangled sentences and sloppy syntax, Trump managed to convey on Wednesday that Pakistan worries him a great deal, and while he has a profound distrust of the country, its instability is manageable, and he would like to keep Washington’s relationship with it on an even keel- sans its nuclear weapons.
Asked at a town-hall meeting in Indianapolis about Pakistan, Trump responded: ”Yes, but the problem with Pakistan, where they have nuclear weapons- which is a real problem.”
”And it’s not the only country, you have nine countries right now with nuclear weapons,” Trump said, adding, ”But Pakistan is semi-unstable. We don’t want to see total instability. It’s not that much, relatively speaking. We have a little bit of a good relationship. I think I’d try and keep it.”
Suggesting that precipitate or punitive action against Pakistan might see it collapse altogether, he rambled on about how ”we give them money and we help them out, but if we don’t, I think that would go on the other side of the ledger and that could really be a disaster,” before cryptically remarking, ”At the same time, if you look at India and some of the others, maybe they’ll be helping us out, because we’re going to look at it.”
In one interview, he bluntly said the U.S should stop giving any aid to Pakistan till it gets rid of its nukes. In another interview he compared it to North Korea while describing it as the most dangerous country in the world that could go rogue.
Trump’s latest remarks came hours after he delivered what was described a ”presidential” foreign policy speech in Washington DC, read out from a teleprompter to give it the form and structure that he seldom manages in his impromptu remarks.
Pakistan`s democratic governments have been shameless and will be. They always been relied on foreign aids and begging for borrowings. Trump`s views are the slap on Pak government.
WAKE UP PAKISTAN!
Slap on Nawaz Sharif policies not Pakistan. In any case D Tramp should be put in a straight jacket and deposited in the nearest mental asylum.
what you say about musharaf
This is how a country which has governments in place that are a clear failure and their focus is only on looting and robbing their own nations get spoken to and treated. Welcome to Pakistan.
The irony we say is the level of support these corrupt politicians enjoy at street level in Pakistan despite their looting of them very people which sees no end.
On an international scale that leads to bringing that country's sovereignty into question and that is what is happening here.
He would not dare speak like that against India and had he done so the repercussions for him and indeed America would be profound.

because india is not ruled by their army or their army puppets but their politicians rule india, even several of the politicians in india are corrupt but indian army dare not to intervene in politics. so, now india is going towards economical, social and security stability as well now.
Muslim world helped to great extend with it fiances and resources to make America superpower. If Trump become president Muslim world will be "greatly rewarded" for it stupidities of last century.
