Is this the first time a US citizen has been elected president of another country? Is a Farmajo govt the payoff for the millions the US has sunk into Somalia in recent years? What will a Farmajo 'democracy' look like? Could we start repatriating Somalis immediately?

Trump could offer free airfare and a bag lunch, that would work for me.

Unless ‘we the people’ insist upon adherence to the US ‘natural born’ requirement, ‘we the people’ can anticipate another Brack Obama, or a Syrian refugee, or a Somali import, etc., sitting in the White House, again someday.

Does this mean that we will have to send the Marines to rescue him when things go bad?

Does this mean that we will have to send the Marines to rescue him when things go bad? And make Somali the 58th state? Let CNN rescue him, they know the beaches well.

We can blame the media and Congress for the silence, lies, and non-vetting; also Romney, McCain, GOPe, and voter fraud for Obama’s election. But that’s the price our nation had to pay in order to get Trump.

But thats the price our nation had to pay in order to get Trump. No doubt. What irony that Trump forced Obama to manufacture a birth certificate claiming he was birthed upon US soil... does not matter, because his so called daddy was never a US citizen.

Isn’t that cute. Somalia tries its own little Barack Obama.....only here’s the thing, Somalia....the scam only works if it is a Somali elected President in the United States, not the other way around....what a bunch of doofs.

The prognosis isn’t good. Most of the foreign peace keepers are pulling out and El Shabab is going to take over. So even more refugees are on the way.

Mohammad Farah Aidid’s son, Hussein Aidid, was a Marine. We already sent him to Somalia. He took over as warlord of the Habar Gidir when daddy got killed.

No. William Walker was elected President of Nicaragua in 1856.
In 1893, Sanford B. Dole became the President of Hawaii, in a coup.
I 1836, Sam Houston was elected President of the Repubic of Texas.
There may be others.

We should pray for his success. We have many Somalis who would and should return home because they do not assimilate into our society.

The Muslim father of Clockmed----the creepy kid who brought a time-bomb to his
Texas school as a hoax----ran several times for President of Sudan. Sudan is the
father' s Muslim homeland.
AND GET THIS: He traveled back and forth from Texas to the Sudan on YOUR
tax dollars. Refugees travel to their homelands paid by your tax dollars is mandated
under current immigration law in our country......applies to all Muslim refugees.

The father campaigned, promising an avalanche of US foreign aid to
Muslim Sudan, if elected. Father is second left holding bottle.

Somalia is a country with the climate of California, the population density of Kansas and over 2000 miles of coastline astride one of the busiest trade routes in the world.
If the right people were running them, they should be importing rather than exporting refugees.

Adamskus of Lithuania was a two-term President of his country after spending approx 30 years working as an administrator for the EPA in Chicago. He got elected by the Lithuanians because of his promise to forge close ties with the West, particular the USA whose government he knew quite well having been a US citizen and longtime bureaucrat, manager, and then director.
