President Of Uganda Says He ‘Loves’ Trump

This is unexpected and weird.

Remember how the left had a collective freakout over President Trump allegedly describing crappy countries in Africa as sh*tholes?

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni (Uganda is, arguably, one of those sh*tholes) isn’t offended. In fact, he says he “loves” Trump.

“America has got one of the best presidents ever. Mr. Trump. I love Trump,” the Ugandan president said.

“I love Trump because he tells Africans frankly,” President Yoweri Museveni said Tuesday, shortly after the U.S. ambassador apologized for Trump’s recent reference to African nations as “shithole countries.”

“I don’t know whether he was misquoted or whatever. But he talks to Africans frankly,” Museveni said. “In the world, you cannot survive if you are weak.”

Oh yeah. That just happened.

The Ugandan leader was addressing members of the regional East African Legislative Assembly.

He continued:

“It is the fault of the Africans that they are weak. They have this huge continent,” he said. “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?”

Don’t get me wrong. The dude has major problems. He’s been in charge of the country for years. He’s in charge of the sh*thole. It’s just interesting that he didn’t take offense to Trump’s remark.

To critics of Museveni, the kinship is not so surprising. The Ugandan president has led the country for over three decades and recently lifted an age limit on his office. Meanwhile, he has allocated more than $77 million for expenses related to his residence and is openly grooming his son as his successor. Under his rule, Uganda has come down harshly on his critics: One university lecturer who called him “a pair of buttocks” on Facebook recently ended up in maximum security jail, while in 2014, a TV station was banned from presidential events after showing Museveni asleep in parliament.

Many world leaders love president Trump. Except for the globalists. Like macron, that Muslim asshole in UK common and that German bitch Merkel and look what they’ve done to their countries. Our media lies when they say Trump doesn’t have the respect of world leaders
