American political scientist Carol Christine Fair sparked controversy after calling Donald Trump “ch***ya” during a live interview with journalist Moeed Pirzada. The remark, a Hindi slang word for “idiot,” drew laughter before she repeated it. Fair explained that she often uses the word in Urdu and even has it on her car license plate. She criticised Trump’s administration, saying many officials lack expertise and have weakened US bureaucracy. Fair also noted that thousands of State Department staff were lost in recent years, affecting policy. Known for her sharp views, Fair specialises in South Asian political and military affairs.
