Former diplomat Mani Shankar Aiyar, in a conversation with ANI, expressed deep regret over Donald Trump’s election as U.S. President, describing Donald Trump as a man of “questionable character.

” Aiyar added that the close rapport between PM Modi and Trump casts a negative light on Modi and his personal choices. He also noted that, despite her limited speaking time, Kamala Harris delivered an impressive performance. "I feel extremely sorry that a man of such doubtful character as Donald Trump shouldn't have been elected the president of the world's most powerful democracy.



I also recognize that there is a special rapport at a personal level between PM Modi and Trump, which I think reflects very badly on PM Modi and his personal preferences. As for Kamala Harris, she was given a very short time. She came up from behind.

She was performing extremely well. But it seems that very deep faultlines in American society ultimately coalesced against her, and she lost in this race. The moral dimension was missing.

It's very saddening that such a powerful country will be led by such a man who has been convicted as a felon on 34 different counts and who has made an infamous name for himself by consorting with prostitutes and making payments to them to cover up for his sins. I don't think a man of such a character is good for either his country or the world”, said Mani Shaker Aiyar.
