dunno so much about kenya but it's utterly unsurprising why nigeria would be in favour - i know several nigerian families professionally and they all have in common a strong patriarchal culture where the dads are larger-than-life domestic tyrants (even in the nicest possible way!) and success in business is seen as next to godliness

“Remember the dishwasher? You’d press it, boom! There’d be, like, an explosion. Five minutes later you open it up, the steam pours out,” he said. Trump then criticized newer models, claiming women – just women – across the country have to now wash their dishes “10 times”.“Anybody have a new dishwasher? I’m sorry for that,” he told the crowd, promising that under his presidency their “dishes will be beautiful”.

I hate that I know this, but this is not the first time he's done this dishwasher rant.
Dec. 19:
"Remember the dishwasher?" he said. "You'd press it, boom! There’d be like an explosion. Five minutes later you open it up, the steam pours out.”"Now you press it 12 times. Women tell me ..." the president said. "You know, they give you four drops of water."

Well my "new" dishwasher does suck balls but it's because the water here is hard as hard can be. Stricter environmental/water laws might help that, Mr President.

Lev Parnas to @maddow "Why would President Zelensky’s inner circle, or Minister Avakov, or all these people, or President Poroshenko, meet with me? Who am I? They were told to meet with me.

A good thing he won't be subpoenaed by the Senate and make his statements under oath, because that might be embarrassing to the Republicans when they all vote to acquit and we wouldn't want that.
