DUBAI: A video urging Donald Trump to drink tea so that he can become “smarter” has become popular on social media.

Created by Kolkata-based Te-a-Me Teas, the video is part of a campaign that also saw the delivery of 6,000 green tea bags to the Republican presidential candidate.

The company’s executive director, Sumit Shah, told AFP last month that the company had set up a website — www.teafortrump.com — where people could tweet a message to Trump and urge him to drink the tea daily.

“We firmly believe green tea can do a lot of good to people. We thought green tea will help him (Trump) cleanse his mind, body and soul,” Shah said.

“Green tea is also proven to make people smarter. So our message is, please Mr Trump drink the tea. For your sake, for America’s sake, for the world’s sake.”
