Namaste Trump  

US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump on Monday (February 24, 2020) visited the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra. The couple held hands as they strolled around the Taj Mahal complex and also wrote a message in the visitor’s book: “Taj Mahal inspires awe, a timeless testament to the rich and diverse beauty of Indian culture! Thank you, India". Ahead of Donald Trump’s visit, the replicas of the graves were cleaned for the first time since their installation more than 300 years ago. Even, the chandelier above the graves was cleaned with tamarind water. But do you know Donald Trump once owned a casino in Atlantic City and called it TAJ MAHAL! Watch this video to find out what happened to Trump's Taj Mahal.
