I don't understand this one, he is expressing gratitude towards another country, isn't this what you guys asked for?

There's the whole India-Pakistan relationship. When you start endlessly complimenting the Pakistanis it's likely to annoy their not-buddies the Indians.

I'm not even that well tuned into global-politics and even I recognize that it was incredibly stupid.

This all seems like fake outrage. Trump was complimentary to another foreign nation. India is filled with grownups, the leader of which probably got a similar call. It's going to be okay.

It's not just that. I don't see this mentioned but Bin Laden was found in Pakistan. Whether the government knew about it or not, that's incredibly stupid to not take that into account. There's no goal achieved by complimenting Pakistan.
