What does Trump say in the video?

U.S. President Doland Trump, in the old video, said, “Modi is a great man. He loves Trump. I don’t know if the word ‘love’. I don’t want you to take that any different. I don’t want to destroy his political career.” This was stated during a White House press conference in the year 2025.

Trump is effectively saying that “Modi loves Trump, because I can destroy his political career”!
What does this mean?
It can only mean that Modi is forced to love Trump because Trump has something which if revealed, would destroy Modi’s political career.#EpsteinFiles pic.twitter.com/60F2e67FX9
