MODI vs TRUMP ....!

 Though US' President elect Donald Trump had copied Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's election slogan of "Abki baar Modi sarkar" and modified it to "Abki baar Trump sarkar", there are several differences between the leaders of world's two largest democracies.
Besides the similarity of the slogan, Narendra Modi and Donald Trump have other things in common too - such as, both of them got selected by their respective BJP and Republican Party as the their faces despite massive resistance, both were outsiders to the establishment and both carry an anti-Muslim image.
But the differences between Donald Trump and Narendra Modi are also too stark to be ignored.
1. BILLIONAIRE VERSUS CHAIWALA
While Donald Trump inherited billions of dollars from his father, Narendra Modi was born in a humble family and was a chaiwala. The US' President-elect got control of his father Fred Trump's real estate and construction firm and he renamed it The Trump Organization.
On the other hand, Narendra Modi assisted his father in selling tea in Gujarat, while his mother worked as a help to earn a livelihood.
2. LIFESTYLE
Being a billionaire, Donald Trump led a lavish lifestyle. He has appeared at the Miss USA pageants, which he owned from 1996 to 2015. He has also made cameo appearances in films and TV series. He hosted and co-produced The Apprentice, a reality television series on NBC, from 2004 to 2015. As of 2016, he was listed by Forbes as the 324th wealthiest person in the world, and 156th in the US.
As against Donald Trump's extravagant lifestyle, Narendra Modi leads a simple life. His 90-year-old mother has been seen travelling in auto-rickshaws. She lives in a simple house in Gujarat's capital Gandhinagar. Narendra Modi's other relatives too live a modest life.
3. MUCH MARRIED VERSUS SINGLE
Donald Trump has been married three times and has five children. Apart from this, his relationship with women is very much controversial. A few days before the US Presidential elections, a 2005 video and audio clipping surfaced in which Donald Trump was heard bragging about groping, kissing and trying to have sex with women.
In stark contrast, Narendra Modi leads the life of a recluse. He is single after having left his wife in his teenage years to meditate and work for the nation. He does not have any children.
4. SABKA SAATH SABKA VIKAS VERSUS PAROCHIAL
Narendra Modi's election campaign hovered around the slogans "Sabka saath sabka vikas" and "Ek Bharat shreshth Bharat". He pledged to take all sections of the society along.
However, Donald Trump's election campaign was divisive, parochial and controversial. He spoke against Islam, proposed a ban on the entry of Muslims into the US. He also spoke against the Blacks, Hispanics and women. He wanted a wall to be built along the US-Mexican border.
5. POLITICAL NOVICE VERSUS SEASONED
Donald Trump's political rise has been belated but sudden and sharp. He sought presidential nomination in 2000 from the Reform Party. However, he withdrew before voting began. In June 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for president as a Republican. He emerged fast as the front-runner for his party's nomination. In May 2016, his rivals in the Grand Old Party suspended their campaigns. In July, he was formally nominated for the president's post at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
On the contrary, Narendra Modi has worked hard to gradually rise in politics. He worked at the lowest rung of the RSS and slowly became a Pracharak. Subsequently, he was sent to BJP as RSS' representative. He rose to first become Gujarat's Chief Minister in 2001. He was the state's CM for four terms before becoming India's PM.

American President TRUMP

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the President-elect of the United States and a businessman. He is scheduled to take office as the 45th President on January 20, 2017. As the Republican Party's nominee for president in the 2016 election, he defeated Hillary Clinton in the general election on November 8, 2016.
Trump is currently the chairman and president of The Trump Organization, the principal holding company for his real estate ventures and other business interests – a position he has said he will vacate prior to his assumption of the presidency. During his career, Trump has built office towers, hotels, casinos, golf courses, and other branded facilities worldwide.
Trump was born and raised in New York City and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. In 1971 he was given control of his father Fred Trump's real estate and construction firm and later renamed it The Trump Organization, rising to public prominence shortly thereafter. Trump has appeared at the Miss USA pageants, which he owned from 1996 to 2015, and has made cameo appearances in films and television series. He sought the Reform Party presidential nomination in 2000, but withdrew before voting began. He hosted and co-produced The Apprentice, a reality television series on NBC, from 2004 to 2015. As of 2016, he was listed by Forbes as the 324th wealthiest person in the world, and 156th in the United States.
In June 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for president as a Republican and quickly emerged as the front-runner for his party's nomination. In May 2016, his remaining Republican rivals suspended their campaigns, and in July he was formally nominated for president at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Trump's campaign received unprecedented media coverage and international attention. Many of his statements in interviews, on Twitter, and at campaign rallies have been controversial or false. Several rallies during the primaries were accompanied by protests or riots. On October 7, a 2005 audio recording surfaced in which Trump bragged about forcibly kissing and groping women; multiple women accused him of forcibly doing so shortly thereafter. He apologized for the 2005 comments and denied the allegations, describing them as part of a wider smear campaign.
Trump's platform included renegotiation of U.S.–China trade deals, opposition to particular trade agreements such as NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, stronger enforcement of immigration laws together with building a wall along the U.S.–Mexico border, reform of veterans' care, repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act, and tax cuts. Following the November 2015 Paris attacks, Trump called for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration to the United States, later stating that the ban would focus instead on countries with a proven history of terrorism, until the screening for potential terrorists is improved. At 70, he will be the oldest person to ever become a first-term president, surpassing Ronald Reagan, who was 69 when he took office in 1981. He will also be the second President born in New York City after Theodore Roosevelt, and the only President born in Queens or any of the "outer boroughs" of New York City.
