In a bustling market in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province, a food vendor, said by locals to bear a striking resemblance to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, draws more business and attention than others.
Mohammad Yaseen, a local resident, said, “We feel as if Trump has come here to sell kheer (pudding).”
“When he sings to sell kheer, we come down to him.”
53-year-old Saleem Bagga pushes his colorful wooden cart along the road, delivering the milky pudding while wearing a black jacket over his beige shalwar kameez to ward off the winter chill.
A crowd gathers as Bagga, who sports a distinctive blond quiff due to his albinism, sings the lyrics to a Punjabi song: “Now you come down to me my love, don’t delay, my eyes are tired of waiting.”
Local resident Imran Ashraf takes a selfie with Bagga and says, “His kheer is really delicious… we talk to him, take selfies with him, and tell our friends that we’ve taken these pictures with Trump.”
Bagga is unfazed by the stream of attention and cameras that follow him throughout the market and even in his home neighborhood in Sahiwal district.
“My face resembles Donald Trump, that’s why people take selfies with me… I feel very good,” he said, extending an invitation.
“Donald Trump sir, you have won the election, now visit here and eat my kheer, you will really enjoy it.”
