U.S. Ambassador Mocks Trump With Gift To Somalia’s President

On Friday the U.S. Ambassador to Somalia, Stephen Schwartz, presented a gift to the new President of Somalia, a hat that reads “Make Somalia Great Again.”

Ambassador Schwartz was appointed by former President Barack Obama and was sworn into his position in June 2016 according to the International Business Times.

Reactions to this gesture on twitter were overwhelmingly negative because let’s face it: Somalia has never been great. Somalia is on President Trump’s travel ban list because of the overwhelming presence of Islamic terrorism within the country. The movie Black Hawk Down which is based on the true story of the Battle of Mogadishu also is in Somalia where American soldiers were killed.

Embarrassing that a diplomat would present this hat to a leader of a country whose citizens were part of the dubious immigration EO. https://t.co/SZcTKrBap5 — Josh Busby (@busbyj2) February 18, 2017
