Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni praised President Trump for being “frank” following the president’s alleged remarks calling certain countries “sh**hole countries” in a meeting on immigration earlier this month.
"Donald Trump speaks to Africans frankly. Africans need to solve their problems," Museveni tweeted Tuesday.
The third purpose for integration is strategic security. Donald Trump speaks to Africans frankly. Africans need to solve their problems. You can't survive if you are weak. It is the Africans' fault that they are weak. We are12 times the size of India, but why are we not strong?— Yoweri K Museveni (@KagutaMuseveni) January 23, 2018
He gave Trump even higher praise in a speech to members of the regional East African Legislative Assembly released Tuesday.
America has got one of the best presidents ever. I love Trump. He speaks to Africans frankly. Africans need to solve their problems - Museveni #NTVNews pic.twitter.com/2LQcKg1qnb— NTV UGANDA (@ntvuganda) January 23, 2018
"America has got one of the best presidents ever. Mr. Trump. I love Trump," Museveni said in a video released by local media.
"I love Trump because he talks to Africans frankly,” he continued. “I don't know if he's misquoted or whatever, but when he speaks I like him because he speaks frankly. They need to be strong. In the world, you cannot survive if you are weak and it is the fault of Africans if they are weak."
Meseveni’s opinion does not appear to be widely shared as some African presidents, including the President of Ghana, condemned the reported remarks.
The government of Botswana issued a statement at the time condemning the remarks and asking if they were a sh**hole country.
President Trump acknowledged that “tough” language was used at the immigration meeting but denied using the language reported by the media. He added that he “should record” future meetings.
I take it the alphabet channels won’t get around to reporting this.
Waiting for liberals to criticize a black man....
Well, if you have to ask...
Points to him for painful intellectual honesty.
First step in solving a problem - admitting that you have a problem.
EVERY African Continent leader knows the truth.
"America has got one of the best presidents ever. Mr. Trump. I love Trump... I love Trump because he talks to Africans frankly," he continued. "I don't know if he's misquoted or whatever, but when he speaks I like him because he speaks frankly. They need to be strong. In the world, you cannot survive if you are weak and it is the fault of Africans if they are weak."
That made me a little misty. Thanks Kaslin.
Yup, but how many admit it in public?
In next door Zimbabwe, one of dictator Mugabe’s key poltical rivals was a guy named Sithole. You can look it up.
Uganda has been tough about keeping homosexual behavior illegal. That and buggery of any kind have caused AIDS and other STDs to plague the whole nation.
Obama and the UN types have been pushing Uganda very hard to accommodate the perverts. I suspect that Trump has different priorities.
Maybe Diogenes should check into this fellow!
Racist Nigerian. He’s not getting invited to anymore annual NAACP dinners.
First step in perpetuating a problem - shut your ears to anything you don’t want to believe.
He should know.
