Tomi Lahren is no stranger to trolling but recently, a video of hers has gone viral for the wrong reasons. Apparently, she called United States President Donald Trump an ‘ullu.’ And that has desi Twitter in fits.
The former Fox News host, Tomi Lahren is known for alt-right views, which includes being a staunch Trump supporter. However, she left Desi Twitter in fits of laughter after she accidentally dissed the US President.
While addressing Indian Trump supporters, Tomi attempt at inter-cultural communication ended in a hilarious blunder. As usual, Tomi talked about how the US President would ‘make America great again’, and said he is as wise as an owl, using the Urdu/Hindi word for it.

She then tried to go the extra mile to say it in Hindi and called Trump an ‘ullu‘. It means two things – either Trump is a wise old owl, or an idiot.
Here’s what she said:
“Well, hello to all my amazing fans in India, it’s Tomi Lahren and I wanna thank you guys for supporting the Make America Great Again agenda and the Keep America Great agenda. We know Trump 2020 is all about keeping America great because President Trump is wise like an owl, or as you guys would say in Hindi, I hope I am pronouncing this right. President Trump is wise like an ullu.”
I can't 😂
"President trump is wise like an ullu"
In hindi ullu means owl but used as an insult to consider someone a fool
We all can agree with tomi that Trump is an Ullu 😂🦉 pic.twitter.com/4IzdTBXQYr

Of course, Tomi didn’t do her research and was unaware that ‘ullu‘ is an insult used by desis to call someone an idiot.
Is that Tomi Lahren again?

Desi Twitter is doubled over with laughter knowing the former ‘The Blaze‘ host isn’t even aware of the mistake.

Even now do you think she’ll bother to correct herself or not take anyone’s word for it?

She was trying to expand her audience, at least that worked out.
Can't stop laughing! OMG
(For those that don't know, calling someone an "owl" (ullu उल्लू) is a rather strong insult in Hindi. Normally wouldn't share @TomiLahren but this was too funny.)
Dear Tomi: You said it perfectly, I've never agreed with you more. https://t.co/GvS3UEeV5j

So there you have it, folks. Donald Trump is as wise as an ullu.
Yes…an even more appropriate term for Trump’s son would thus be: Ullu ka patha. Son of an owl. Those from Pakistan-India would readily understand this. This is usually combined with ‘gadha’ which means donkey. Donkey is associated with stupidity…
