WOW! Trump lays out his detailed, thoughtful, well-articulated policy for Africa! WOW! USA! USA!

LOL! This is classic. A foreign reporter asks Trump a detailed Q about his Africa policy in general & Zimbabwe specifically

Trump's response? "We're looking at Zimbabwe right now." That's it. He then moves on as quickly as possible

He's absolutely incapable of discussing policy

Zimbabwe is a country there. He'll be asking if Zimbabwe is one of those "shithole countries". The grifter is absolutely useless. How did this whole thing ever happen. Sad it's because we have a country full of racists.

He thinks Zimbabwe is one of those NBA players who wouldn't come to the White House - or is an NFL player that takes the knee for the National Anthem!

When I first read the "We're looking at Zimbabwe right now" statement in the tweet, I thought, "How did the short-fingered vulgarian call up that nation's name?" The I saw the clip, and the reporter mentioned Zimbabwe a couple of times (in regard to sanctions? Hard to hear), which cued Stupidhead to say Zimbabwe with no more understanding than a dog watching a card trick.

I'm afraid it was a little too high-level and policy-wonky for me to understand. Thanks in advance.

KELLY: Where did you say you were from?

DONALD: It's fake news. I didn't actually say that.

By the time we get trump out and get a pres. who recognizes the importance of the second largest continent on Earth it may be too late.

"Have you reached any preliminary conclusions, vis-a-vis the (insert nonsense word like franistat here) situation?" If you can, say "franistat" a couple of times so it imprints on his stupid brain.
