The now-deleted post had stirred debate online for its provocative tone. In the post, Ranaut compared Trump to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, writing, “What could be the reason of this love loss. 1) He is American President but world's most loved leader is Indian Prime Minister. 2. Trump's second term but Indian Prime Minister’s third term. 3. Undoubtedly Trump is alpha male but our PM is sab alpha male ka baap. What do you think? This is personal jealousy or diplomatic insecurity?”
Her comments followed Trump’s statement during a business event in Doha, where he said he told Apple CEO Tim Cook, “I don’t want you building in India,” citing India’s high tariffs as a reason.
Trump has not provided updates on Apple’s response or any shift in manufacturing plans.
