HOW DARE HE SAY THAT! – AT 10:08 P.M. ET: There is a major international scandal. Brace yourselves. It has been learned that an African leader has praised President Trump, and is still alive. From Dailywire:
On Tuesday, the leader of one African nation shook up the media's narrative about the continent of Africa being up in arms about President Donald Trump's "s***hole" remark. Speaking to a group of lawmakers at the East African Legislative Assembly, Ugandan president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni came to Trump's defense over his recent comments.
"America has got one of the best presidents ever. Mr. Trump. I love Trump," Museveni said, The Washington Post reports. "I love Trump because he talks to Africans frankly. I don't know if he's misquoted or whatever, but when he speaks I like him because he speaks frankly."
"It is the fault of the Africans that they are weak. They have this huge continent," Museveni continued. "If you look at Africa, Africa is 12 times the size of India, in terms of land area, lots of resources, and the population is growing now. Why can't we make Africa strong?"
Museveni even wrote an article titled, "The Confusion, Ingratitude as well as danger of Western Liberals & the Trump Therapy," in which he slams leftists and embraces Trump's way of thinking.
COMMENT: Well, you won't see this chap invited to any dinners with the Congressional Black Caucus. And CNN is probably investigating his mental fitness.
But he said it. And I"ll bet many other Africans feel the same way. They don't necessarily follow the left-wing party line. At a time when Western liberals were cursing George W. Bush, Africa was building statues to him because he took the African AIDS epidemic seriously.
