In the vibrant markets of Sahiwal, Pakistan, a food vendor named Saleem Bagga has become a local sensation due to his uncanny resemblance to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. According to reports, Bagga, 53, draws crowds not just for his looks but also for his unique selling technique—singing while serving kheer, a traditional rice pudding. "We feel as if Trump has come here to sell kheer," stated Mohammad Yaseen, a local resident who frequents Bagga’s stall. His melodious singing evidently enhances the appeal of the sweet treat, making it hard for passersby to resist stopping by.
Bagga operates from a colorful wooden cart, dressed in a beige shalwar kameez combined with a black jacket to combat the winter chill. His distinctive blond quiff, attributed to his albinism, further underlines his resemblance to Trump. Curious onlookers often gather, as he entertains them with Punjabi melodies, singing lyrics such as: “Now you come down to me my love, don’t delay, my eyes are tired of waiting.”
His popularity has led many locals to take selfies with him, jokingly sharing these moments with friends as if they met Trump himself. Bagga remains humble about the attention he receives. "I feel very good," he remarked about the everyday interactions he has with the locals and visitors to his stall. He even extended an invitation to President Trump, saying, "You have won the election, now visit here and eat my kheer, you will really enjoy it,” as he hopes his resemblance brings even more recognition.
