The video on Donald Trump was an attempt to reach out to Indian-origin voters in US
American TV host and Donald Trump-supporter Tomi Lahren described the US president as "wise like an Ullu (Owl)" in a video that attempted to reach out to Indian-origin voters in US, but the result may not exactly be what she had planned.
"Trump 2020 is all about keeping America great, because President Trump is wise like an owl, or as you say in Hindi, wise like an ullu," Ms Lahren said in a video posted on Twitter.
Social media users were quick to point out that "Ullu" in Hindi or Urdu refers to anything but wise.
"This is freaking brilliant. They calling Trump an ullu - which means idiot. And she's thanking them for it," a Twitter user said.
Another wrote: "@TomiLahren thanks her Indian fans for supporting an ullu,"
"Don't make America "ullu" again !" tweeted Aishee Ghosh, the president of the JNU students' union.
"Lol, Tomi Lahren thanks her "fans in India" for helping make *America* great again. She says Trump is "wise like an owl," and then tries to translate the phrase, not knowing that the word owl ("ullu") is actually an insult in Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu," read another tweet.
Both Republican and Democrats are trying hard to woo the influential Indian-American voters in the country.
Recently, the Trump campaign released a video commercial that featured short clips from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump's speeches from his February trip to Ahmedabad.
Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, has selected Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, a move aimed at drawing the Indian-Americans vote away from the Republicans. Kamala Harris had an Indian mother.
