He congratulates them
Trump exercising his diplomatic skillz again.
At a United Nations lunch Wednesday with African leaders, President Trump marveled at Africa’s “tremendous business potential.” “I have so many friends going to your countries trying to get rich,” he said. “I congratulate you, they’re spending a lot of money.”
Oh yes, Africa has done so well from all those rich business dudes buying up natural resources. It’s super nice of Trump to congratulate the heads of state on their good fortune, and not at all creepy and patronizing.
There’s a video clip of him saying it, so you can watch his bizarro gestures while he says that stupid thing.
“Increasing American trade and investment across diverse industries including … travel and tourism, will further transform lives throughout the continent,” said Trump. The proof? Here are his sons, Uday and Qusay, transforming lives throughout the continent.
Have we somehow traveled back in time to the British Empire, and we’re hearing someone praising the good the East India Company is doing for the backwards savages? Because that certainly is what it feels like.
Africa, I personally apologize for our nasty president to all your millions of citizens. America may deserve what we got, but no one else deserves him.
