Following his maniacal speech on Tuesday at the United Nations, in which he vowed to wipe North Korea off the map if necessary, Trump told African leaders gathered for a lunch at the U.N. that he stands in awe of all the continent’s “tremendous business potential.” Naturally, his praise quickly took on a vaguely colonialist tone.
“I have so many friends going to your countries to get rich,” he actually said to them, adding that “six of the world‘s 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa.” Perhaps getting himself a little too worked up about all the ways in which Africa poses an opportunity for his close personal friends to further enrich themselves, the president referred to a country called “Nambia,” which has the unique distinction of not existing.
