'Trump is confused, it was Hafiz Saeed who asked him to mediate': This Pakistan journalist is bashing Trump-Imran Khan's nonsensical meeting left and right

US President Donald Trump's bizarre, unsolicited and ignorant attempt to wade in to the Kashmir issue as a mediator has been met with shock and awe even within Pakistan, which, Imran Khan's clampdowns on media freedom notwithstanding, has been highlighted effectively by prominent Pak journalists online, as well as by a number of Pakistani citizens. One Pakistani journalist has piece-by-piece highlighted the nonsensical nature of the developments that unfolded during the Donald Trump-Imran Khan meeting at the White House on Monday, with hilarious effects. On Trump's claim that PM Modi asked him to mediate the Kashmir issue, which has been fervently denied by the Indian government, journalist Naila Inayat writes: Everyone needs to calm down. Trump got confused, it was actually Hafiz Saeed who asked him to mediate.. — Naila Inayat नायला इनायत (@nailainayat) July 22, 2019 This comes just a few days after Donald Trump had once again displayed ignorance by tweeting that Hafiz Saeed's sham arrest by debt-hit and globally-pressured Pakistan came after a 10-year-long search and 2 years of US pressure.
