Nambia

[Straight Shooter]

Speaking before a group of African leaders at the United Nations on Wednesday, President Donald Trump cited the progress of Nambia’s health system. The problem is, Nambia does not exist.

“In Guinea and Nigeria, you fought a horrifying Ebola outbreak, Trump said. “Nambia’s health system is increasingly self-sufficient.”

Trump likely meant Namibia, which does exist. The president delivered his remarks during a lunch attended by leaders from Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Guinea, Senegal, Namibia, and Uganda.

Unlike several other countries in West Africa last year, Namibia was spared the deadly Ebola outbreak in 2016 that caused widespread panic, including in the United States. Given Ebola outbreaks in other African countries, Namibia boosted its health system to prepare for possible infections in the southwestern African nation.

Trump began his speech before the African leaders by touting the economic potential in African nations, saying that “so many” of his friends are “going to your countries trying to get rich.”

“Africa has tremendous business potential,” Trump said. “I have so many friends going to your countries trying to get rich, I congratulate you. They are spending a lot of money. But it does, it has tremendous business potential.”

Cot damn, we elected the village idiot as president

Well in defense of Trump who I now officially **** because he conned us all, ok he pronounced the name of an African country wrong.
Not nearly as bad as what his predecessor did to an African country.
Bomb it day and night for half a year, **** about a million civilians in a population of less than 7 million, destroy it in every possible way and hand it over to Al-Qaeueaeada to this day. And if you were Black you got to get hacked alive and cut up into body parts in piles on the street.
But at least they got a Central Bank right?.
He missed pronounced a word? Thats some real CNN **** there dude, man, sir.

It starts by saying he addressing a ficitious country but than it follows that he only misprounced it. And too be fair Nambia is one i short of Namibia. Total nonstory.

So I guess the answer is "Yes", I'm the only one who is noticing this part.

You're really embracing that whole what-about-ism, arentcha animus?

Seeing as you posted not just once, but twice, without saying anything about our current POTUS being a village idiot, and seeing as how you, if I remember correctly, made a whole thread about bending the knee to him, we can safely connect those two dots that you bow to village idiots. Sad.

Back to the OP:
Trump isn't wrong. Africa has temendous economic potential. Many a western country has gotten rich off that very fact, much to Africa's disadvantage.

soooo ... a mispronunciation of some some african nation that most americans couldn't narrow down to the correct continent on a global map is somehow a story? What-about-ism is actually pointing out double-standardism and for perspective.

don't bend the knee. #resist. that enraged chihuahua barking at the passing caravan.

Nope. It's only a ***** example of Trump's village idiocy and not in itself terribly newsworthy, no. The part Mayhem pointed out was far more so.

What-about-ism is actually pointing out double-standardism and for perspective.

No it isn't. It's a deflection tactic when your position - and perspective - is ****.

Choose better.

NO! Obama said it as a joke, which the right is TOO BLEEPING STUPID to acknowledge!

If it were just for that one wrong name of a state, it wouldn't be such a thing. Problem is what he earlier said about annihilating a whole country (and causing in the process the wipeout of the southern *******-state of South Korea, then REALLY fucking up with his beloved use of schoolyard tactics with "Rocket Man". He had the opportunity to mess up in front of all the world's top diplomats, and fully unloaded with bravado.

And then...

Trump who I now officially **** because he conned us all

Mostly I just ignore the garbage you post, but you can fuck right off with that statement. The majority knew what he was from the start. He conned you, and a whole bunch of other simpletons. You were warned repeatedly that if you voted trump, this is what you would get. Don't drag the rest of us into your fuck up.

Nice to see you too.
You still have no idea what he is. You go by what the controlled media tells you.
Is he a ****? A White Supremicist?
Ive seen what you write and you just may be the most propagandized person here.

We had a chioce between an evil lying mass ********* criminal or a rich businessman who was not a politician.

With the 1st you knew what you'd get.
The 2nd ran on stopping the endless wars and foriegn intervention and interference and concentrate on fixing problems at home and making our economy better.
He even spoke about something that I've never seen a politician do other than Ron Paul and that's to be nuetral when it came to Israel and curb their influence on the US....which is massive.
That was what most people who voted for him want. Thats why he won assuming trhe fix wasnt in.

And there was no evidence to believe he was lying about this other than just normal distrust of anybody running for office.

So while people like you are going around calling him childish names people like me are disgusted with his complete lack of diplomacy. His threatening other countries, his fear mongering based on lies. and his war mongering while Netanyahoo sitys there and laughs.
He is going to be a 1 term PREZ and at this point it looks like that's part of the plan.

I'll say it again. Ain't nothing goonna get better in the US if the endless wars and aggressions continue.
That only helps isreal and bankers and the other war profiteers, not us.

This is what you were warned about, repeatedly and constantly. By me and others. So you can stop acting superior because you finally figured out what most people knew years ago. You're just broadcasting your stupidity. Not that you've ever done anything else here.

Funny thing is it sounds realistic, like a cross between Zambia and Namibia

That you actually believe that Hillary Clinton is, "an evil lying mass ********* criminal", truly makes you among the most propagandized people here, but you're certainly not in exclusive company, that's been an endemic lie the GOP has pushed for decades and the fact that there are so many people like you that eat it up is why we've got Trump as President. Your steady diet of far-right propaganda has seriously compromised your cognitive faculties.
