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.

But the Twitterati could have none of that and they wasted no time in offering their own hilarious explanations.
