Trump tells African leaders his friends are going to your countries trying to get rich

Trump tells African leaders his friends are ‘going to your countries trying to get rich’ — and makes up country of Nambia

During a luncheon at the United Nations on Wednesday, President Donald Trump reportedly told African leaders that he has “so many friends going to your countries trying to get rich.”

“Africa has tremendous business potential,” the president said.

He later referred to the non-existent country of “Nambia” when discussing health crises on the continent. It is unclear if Trump was referring to Namibia or Zambia. There is no country called Nambia.

My younger daughter did a spell in Sierra Leone with the U.N. War Crimes Tribunal. She said the place was overrun with Chinese, who were extracting every last ounce of iron ore they could (bribing government officials for rights, low prices and lax pollution controls). They then leave and go on to the next third world country to pillage their natural resources, like the bad guys in Independence Day.

"Nambia" my ass. They must have direct flights to West Dakota.
