Washington:
In a blunder, Donald Trump Jr, the eldest son of US President Donald Trump, while predicting the results of the 2020 presidential election, shared a distorted map of India, showing that Kashmir was part of Pakistan.
Predicting a “red wave,” Donald Trump Jr released a world map with the majority of countries filled with red, the color of the Republican Party, to indicate that his father will emerge victorious in the election.
The map, predicting the election results posted by Trump Jr on his Twitter account, shows a predominantly red world map, except for India and some other nations, which he showed in blue, which means they will vote for Democrat Joe Biden. The map showed India in blue while Jammu and Kashmir was shown in red and voted for Donald Trump.
Trump Jr tweeted: “Okay, I finally made my prediction on the electoral map. # 2020Election #VOTE”
On the map tweeted by Trump Jr, China has been painted blue – the color of its rival party – as the US president has continually criticized Beijing for the COVID-19 outbreak and deteriorating trade relations.
