US President Donald Trump makes an incorrect claim in a post on Truth Social, saying 125 million people voted in India’s presidential election. Multiple outlets report that the number aligns with Brazil’s recent election rather than India’s vote totals.
The post also includes Trump criticising the time it takes to count votes in parts of the United States and questioning election integrity. Reports say the remark draws attention because it suggests he has confused details about two different countries’ electoral events.
Across the coverage, outlets describe the error as a social-media blunder and note that it leads to public backlash and confusion online. They frame the incident primarily as an inaccurate statement tied to Trump’s broader comments about how US votes are counted and whether the process is reliable.
