(25,305 posts)But the jokes are funny.
Namibia and Gambia are easily confused. (I had to look it up)
Trump has made much worse gaffes, much worse, many times worse.

(54,370 posts)No one knows if he meant Zambia, Gambia, or Namibia. Since he was addressing an assembly of African diplomats and heads of state, he most definitely does NOT get a pass on this from me. To make a mistake this stupid in front of the Nebraska Rotary Club is one thing. To make it in front of the diplomatic elite of Africa is unforgivable.
The circumstances under which such a gaffe is made is important. It's a giggle if he did it in Omaha. It's a national embarrassment if he does it at the U.N. while addressing African diplomats.

(61,695 posts)need to hear, not that they'll listen. They don't care what the diplomatic elite of Africa think about anything. But we should still continue making the case that our *president* is willfully ignorant, and that makes him dangerous, as other leaders will try to take advantage of his ignorance.

(272 posts)I think we all remember where we were when we heard about the Massacre of Nambia. It's still too soon. PS - why does my spell check insist on underlining "Nambia"?
