00:00This Donald Trump temple in Tilangana is going viral again after the US president hiked tariffs
00:04on Indian goods over Russian oil purchases, sparking mockery of his god status amid economic
00:08tensions.
00:09Flashback, let's go back to where it all started.
00:13Back in 2019, a devoted farmer named Busa Krishna built a temple for Donald Trump in
00:17Konya village after seeing him in a dream.
00:19Krishna spent 2 lakh rupees to install a 6 foot Trump statue, garlanded it, poured water
00:23over it, fasted and prayed daily for Trump's health and re-election, hoping to foster
00:27Indo-US friendship. Krishna passed away in 2020, reportedly heartbroken when Trump fell ill
00:32with Covid-19. These days, Krishna's family and villagers still clean the shrine, drape
00:36Trump's statue and garlands and offer prayers. But after Trump's latest tariff blow to India,
00:40the internet can't stop talking about the irony of worshipping a god who's now straining
00:44India's straight ties. From idols to in-pour duties, the jokes and debates online on the
00:48temple aren't holding back.
