“I saw some people the other day crying. Oh, I don’t know, Trump has removed money—He is not giving us any more money,” he said, asking, “Why are you crying?” He explained, “It is not your government! It is not your country! He has no reason to give you anything!” Surprisingly, the room erupted in applause. Mr. Kenyatta continued his common sense speech to the African leaders, reminding them, “He has no reason to give you anything. Hey, you don’t pay taxes in America,” adding, “He’s appealing to his people!” Mr. Kenayatta appeared to be repeating himself to the crowd as he spoke in a foreign language. Once again, the crowd erupted in applause.

Kenyatta told them to consider President Trump’s decision to cut their funding a “wake-up call,” urging the African leaders to ask themselves, “Okay, what are we going to do to help ourselves instead of crying?” The former Kenya President then hit the African leaders with a harsh dose of reality, “What are we going to to do to support ourselves?” he asked, reminding them, “Because nobody is going to continue holding out a hand there to give you!” adding, “It is time for us to use our resources for the right things—We are the ones who are using them for the wrong things.”
