"Nambia doesn't exist and already has better health care than we're about to get from Republicans."


That one deserves to be enshrined.

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.

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.

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.

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"?

1.
Oh I wish I was in a land of fiction
No one cares about my diction
Look away, look away, look away
Nam-bi-a!

I wish I was in Nambia
Away, Away!
I wish I was in Nambia with a cup of hot covfefe
Away, away, across the sea in Nambia!
Away, away, no press near me in Nambia!

2.
Oh, I wish this wasn’t the United Nations
Speeches make for poor relations
Look away, look away, look away
Nam-bi-a!

I wish I was in Nambia
Away, Away
It must be close to Zam-bi-a
Nearby, but not exactly?
Away, away, across the sea in Nambia!
Away, away, no press near me in Nambia!

3.
Oh, I hope they look at walls of ugly marble
Ignore speeches that I garble
Look away, look away look away
Nam-bi-a!

I wish I was in Nambia
Away, Away
I’d chill out down in Nambia where the fake press cannot find me
Away, away, across the sea in Nambia!
Away, away, no press near me in Nambia!

This one is already recorded:

And I guess that’s why he calls it fake news
We understand, ‘cause the man has no clue
Asking his children
Bragging ‘bout lovers
Bashing Acosta for stories he covers
And I guess that’s why he calls it fake news

The video will take a while........
