Saleem, an ice cream seller from Sahiwal (Pakistan) has become an international star.
The local street vendor indeed looks a lot like Donald Trump, reports T
he Independent
.
A video posted to Instagram this Friday by Pakistani singer Shehzad Roy shows the white-haired, white-eyed shopkeeper at work on a street.
The man in his forties has albinism.
The images quickly went viral on social media.
Problems related to his albinism
The resemblance between the forty-something and the 45th President of the United States, but also the singing talents of the traveling salesman, appealed to Internet users.
On the video, we see the Pakistani singing in Urdu to praise his products in the street.
Residents in the neighborhood where he works did not immediately notice the resemblance.
"Since Trump's visit in 2017, we have nicknamed Saleem, our kulfiwala (Pakistani ice cream seller), Donald Trump," testified a young man living in the neighborhood, quoted by
Vice
.
The interested party seems to live the comparison well.
"We find [the US president] funny, so even Saleem likes to be called 'Trump'," the young man said.
Asked by the local channel Samaa TV, the local salesman explained that it was his father who suggested that he sing while pushing his cart through the streets.
According to the young resident, the ice-cream seller's albinism caused him several difficulties.
Her skin is indeed very sensitive to the sun, and people with albinism are also victims of discrimination in Pakistan.
