President of Uganda praises Trump, while U.S. ambassador condemns him
Spero News ^ | 1/23/18 | Martin Barillas

The president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni declared his "love" for President Donald Trump. This came after Trump was accused of referring to African nations as "shithole" countries during a meeting with members of Congress about immigration policy. Trump denied making the remarks, but the African Union demanded that he apologize for his "clearly racist" comments. 

"America has got one of the best presidents ever," Museveni said during the opening of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) in the Ugandan capital of Kampala. "I love Trump because he tells Africans frankly. The Africans need to solve their problems, the Africans are weak."

Museveni's comments are in opposition to those expressed by many African leaders who have condemned Trump's alleged insult. Deborah Malac, the American ambassador to Uganda, also condemned Trump’s alleged remarks. Just hours before the Ugandan leader praised Trump, Malac said of Trump: "[His words] are obviously quite disturbing and upsetting." Malac was nominated to her current ambassadorship by Barack Obama in 2015.

The key question (IMHO) is why Trump has retained an Obama-appointed ambassador anyplace in the world?

Fire her immediately and promote the senior foreign service officer on site to acting ambassador until someone else can be found.

In this PC world it is racist to call a country a shithole. Wow. Just wow! I called my daughter’s room a shithole several times so I guess I’m a racist, a child abuser and a misogynist.

Definitely a former “hippie” if I ever saw one. Probably one of those “flower children”. Fire her behind and let her find her own way back to the U.S. (cancel her passport first)

Well, I hope Trump will replace this jerk ambassador, but I know he’s got quite a lot on his plate right now.

“Maybe he thinks it’s the perfect habitat for a Democrat since it is a sh!thole?“

More importantly, do we have to take him back?
