While speaking to a group of African leaders during his United Nations fiasco tour, Trump decides he would just create a new country out of whole cloth: the non-existent nation of Nambia.
It’s not clear if he was thinking of C.S. Lewis’ Narnia, or if he was creating a portmanteau of Namibia, an actual nation in southwestern Africa, and Zambia in the northeast.
Who am I trying to kid? Trump can’t – or at least doesn’t read – and the only foreign country he would even have a chance of finding on a world map is Russia. Amirite?
At any rate, Twitter had a field day with the new nation of Nambia.

And of course he got to know Prince Akeem Joffer because Nambia is a neighbor to Zamunda …
Ah, Nambia. A beautiful country that borders the equally enchanting Zamunda.

So here is Trump with his new BFF – Prince Akeem Joffer
And here’s a shot of the Prince Joffer leaving the UN during the recent General Assembly gathering

(There were rumors swirling around at the United Nations that the Prince of Nambia was planning on marrying the Princess of Pambia. And they agreed that they would jointly rule their new country of Nambia-Pambia.)
So let’s enjoy a few of the Twitter bon mots recognizing the new nation of Nambia …
Yet if Trump insists "Nambia" exists and claims he's done business there, 90 percent of his supporters will believe him.

And you can bet that Trump could stand in the dead-center of Nambia, shoot someone and not lose one supporter.
And of course his Trumpkins give him high praise …
About time we have a president who pays attention to the long forgotten people of #Nambia! ? https://t.co/pzv5Rh1yDb

While we may not give it the attention it deserves, at least most of us do enjoy its leading export …

Of course the awful pending Graham-Cassidy healthcare charade couldn’t escape comparison …
Nambia doesn't exist and already has better health care than we're about to get from Republicans.

Nor could we forget how Hillary actually won the popular vote …
But the actual county of Namibia couldn’t pass up the chance to troll Trump – and they did so with a poster …
Why, I myself just got an email from a barrister in the new nation of Nambia informing me that a distant cousin recently died and left me millions in gold. But unfortunately with all the turmoil in neighboring countries he is not able directly to transfer the funds to me.
Fortunately all I have to do to release those millions to me is execute a wire transfer to him of $…

Of course, the burning question on everyone’s mind is: What is the connection between Prince Akeem JOFFER and King JOFFREY? I call for an investigation!
(Have I ever told you how grateful I am that you are on Twitter so that I don’t have to be – and can still enjoy these storms?)
Actually, I’m not on Twitter … but I’ve learned how to find the gems from Twitter.
You are still doing it and I don’t have to, and I am grateful.
omg, this is Hilarious!!
So enjoyed reading all the information about this important country, as described by Trump…….a fantastic country I need to go visit. Sometime.
My favorite is the ‘Nambian Covfefe’, which I am sure is delicious. I’ll have to go get some! lol !!!
Great post, Nameless.
Thank you, Joanne for cross posting
I remember the movie “Coming to America”. Thought it was cute but silly as Eddie hammed it up in it.
The only thoughts I had on this “NAMBIA” was that Drumpf will send in his daughter, Ivana, to build a Drumpf Tower and Jared to set up a money-laundering scheme to help funnel the money & gold through the construction of the tower.

The Nambian Covfefe made me channel my inner Salacious Crumb. I WANT THAT SHIRT!
Looks like you can buy one for $20. Not a bad price, but no idea how reliable “Red Bubble” is though

Nambia Pambia!
No doubt Ambrose Phillips is turning in his grave, and Henry Carey is laughing his head off.
“Ambrose Phillips”??? “Henry Carey”???
Wow! That level of erudition sent me to Google search – THANKS! Always glad to learn a new factoid or three.
I shall have to search that later.
Hilarious
Thanks for posting, Nameless.
People had great fun with this on this side of the Atlantic too. Here are some gems from the BBC:
See that, and I thought I knew a thing, or two, about geography? One can never learn too much. Thanks for the education!
But wait! I was too quick to publish that: Maybe we can have Drumpf go to Nambia to open a new consulate there, and spend a few decades!
