Trump confuses Brazil for India in presidential election blunder over 125 million votes
- Trump mistakenly claimed 125 million people voted in India’s presidential election, but India held no such election.
- His claim came while criticising US election counting, comparing it with the rapid results from Brazil’s election.
- The figure closely matched Brazil’s 125 million valid votes, suggesting Trump confused Brazil with India.
- India elects its President through an Electoral College, not a direct nationwide popular vote.
