You might have heard about Donald Trump's latest pitiful comments by now. You know, where he describes Haiti, El Salvador and African nations - all 54 of them as "shithole countries", completely ignoring the correct use of the word 'shithole', which Urban Dictionary describes as: "Trump's mouth, often a place from whence great amounts of shit spews."
But we're not here to judge the President's poor grasp of grammar. After all, he himself did 'joke' about knowing words and having the best words.
What we're wondering is whether President Trump knows about Shitole (not quite 'shithole' like his mouth, but close) - a charming rural town in Western Kenya. Shitole is a sub-location in Bungoma, a beautiful county of a million beautiful human beings. And yes, Mr. President - you're very much welcome to visit.
We can't guarantee he'll find a luxury golf course, or even a McDonald's where he can find one of his beloved Big Mac's to slip through his mouth (sorry, shithole), but, he might just find himself some awesome, hard-working builders for that long-overdue wall. How's that going by the way?
Here are a few more things about Bungoma County, home to Shitole, that President Trump might find interesting.
An actual, real-life wall
The Chetambe Fort Ruins are a tourist's favourite spot. Donald Trump is bound to love it too. A fort that was built by the Bukusu and the Tachoni people to watch out for advancing colonialists. I told you Trump will find his builders here. It is claimed that the chief of the time built it high in the hills to mobilize his people against invaders. You can you almost see Trump tearing up in admiration. The rich history of the place one to be explored by anyone who visits the place.
Mt. Elgon National Park
This lush park covered with the forest is right on the border of Kenya and Uganda - which is one sensible way to separate two nations. Build that park! Build that park! The park is bookended on either side by the 14,000ft high extinct shield volcano Mt. Elgon and the 30km wide Great Rift Valley. It is the most magnificent place to hike, or have a quiet read - Fire and Fury, anyone? The beauty of 'shithole nations' cannot be ignored.
Sugar, give him sugar
Bungoma is one of the great producers of sugar in Kenya. As a man with a sweet tooth and a President who loves to discuss Syrian airstrikes over "a beautiful piece of chocolate cake", Donald Trump would adore the quality of sugar that comes out of Bungoma. This is made possible by the cool climate which helps with sugarcane farming.
Please tweet this link to @realDonaldTrump and share with him the awesomeness of Shitole (almost shithole) with the President. Now, for some reactions proving how very much of a 'shithole country' Kenya is:
