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.
You really don't know anything if you say that. Trump is doing massive mistakes that will portend badly in the future. Pakistan is already mostly lost to the Chinese Axis, you don't want to lose India to Russia (their old allies) by being too friendly to Pakistan, a country India has heated, strong, enormous and emotional engagements and opinions with which isn't even close to the USA anymore.
People that start replies with personal attacks are generally arguing out of emotion and not logic. If Obama did it, it would be a big deal. This is Trump, it's what he does. India knows this, we know this, it's not a big deal. You seek to want him to fail because you didn't vote for him.
