Whenever any foreign guests come to our country, they often have to go to see the Tajmahal symbol of love. So ‘Wah Taj’ definitely comes out of their mouths. One such incident was seen in Agra when the world’s great President Donald Trump, along with his wife Melania Trump, stayed away as soon as they entered the Taj Mahal to overcome the exhaustion of the day.

The grandeur of the architecture of the 17th-century Taj Mahal and the story of its construction by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan were “influenced” by the visit of the famous mausoleum on Monday, according to the guide accompanying US President Donald Trump.

Nitin Kumar, a guide from Agra, said the first word the president said after laying his eyes on the marble marvel was “unbelievable”.

She and first lady Melania Trump visited the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra, the second stop of a less than 36-hour visit to India, and marveled at the Mughal-era mausoleum built as a monument to love.

After Dwight David Eisenhower (1959) and Bill Clinton (2000), he became the third US president to visit the architectural icon.

“I told them about the Taj Mahal, the construction and the story behind it. President Trump became very emotional after learning the story of Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal. How he was kept under house arrest by Aurangzeb. “Buried in Taj, next to Mumtaz’s grave,” Kumar told reporters.

Kumar said the couple was speechless at the first sight of the memorial, and showed interest and told about history and architecture.
