Did President Trump just “invent” a new African country? Twitter is unmanageable!
Do we have a new country in Africa, do we?
US President Donald Trump referred to a nonexistent country at a luncheon with African leaders on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday at the Palace Hotel in New York.
“Nambia’s health system is increasingly self-sufficient,” he said.
Was he referring to Namibia? Zambia? Or maybe, The Gambia?
A White House transcript later clarified that Trump had in fact been referring to Namibia.

According to researchers, Nambia's #1 export is Covfefe. Huge deal in the works to increase trade. Very, very big deal.
