Donald Trump phones Indian call centre, mocks accent

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has used fake Indian accent to mock a call centre representative in India even as he described India as a great place, asserting that he is not angry with Indian leaders.

The billionaire said he had called up his credit card company to find out whether their customer support is based in the US or overseas.

“Guess what, you’re talking to a person from India. How the hell does that work ” he told his supporters in Delaware.

“So I called up, under the guise I’m checking on my card, I said, ‘Where are you from ’” Mr Trump said and then copied the response from the call centre in a fake Indian accent.

“We are from India,” Mr Trump impersonated the response.

“Oh great, that’s wonderful,” he said as he pretended to hang up the phone.

“India is a great place. I am not upset with other leaders. I am upset with our leaders for being so stupid,” he said.

“I am not angry with China. I am not angry at Japan. I am not angry with Vietnam, India... All these countries.”

Mr Trump described the fake call to India as “crooked banking.”

“You can’t allow policies that allows China, Mexico, Japan, Vietnam, India. You can’t allow policies that allows business to be ripped out of the United States like candy from a baby,” Mr Trump added.

Delaware, is a hub for the America’s banking and credit-card industry. Topping the list include Bank of America, Citibank Delaware, M&T Bank and PNC Financial Services Group.
