Trump's 'Nambia' remarks prompt Twitter scorn

Trump's 'Nambia' remarks prompt Twitter scorn

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. · Thursday, September 21st 2017 at 8:55AM · 637 views
President Trump referred to a nonexistent country at a luncheon with African leaders during the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday — and Twitter wasn’t having it.

Trump spoke of “Nambia” in his opening remarks, before saying “Nambia’s health system is increasingly self-sufficient” during the event, at the Palace Hotel in New York.

"Nambia" doesn't exist — the name appeared to be a merger of Namibia in southwestern Africa and Zambia, located to the northeast of Namibia. Gambia, in west Africa, was also a contender.

A White House transcript later clarified that Trump had in fact been referring to Namibia.

Look at you Ron, there you go again! Is it Nambia or Namibia? I'm wondering, is it embracement of ignorance or embarrassment of ignorance? LOL!

For the president of The United States of America, leader of the Free World to invent and new country in Africa called 'Nambia' and then turn right around, to double down on this embarrassment with this statement "Trump spoke of “Nambia” in his opening remarks, before saying “Nambia’s health system is increasingly self-sufficient” during the event, at the Palace Hotel in New York." How can he tell this LIE to people of Africa and to the world? When he knows that he have never seen such a health system in Nambia or Namibia?
