        Why, because he's now somehow the best Malawian ever?

        No. Because, like every mother, she sees the most potential & the best of what he could strive to achieve/ and do! I doubt the statement had to be taken literally...

        Why lead a "shit-hole?" Is he interested? Why not POTUS? I guess #Madona seems to suggest that his adopted son aint good enough for POTUS. Sad!

        Or maybe she knows that the American constitution says that only people born in America can become potus!

        45 says 44 was born in Kenya. Nevertheless, he became POTUS. Why not #Madonadopted?

        But that's after the fact. He had to prove it unlike any other President? Why?

        Replying to @SZigomba @BBCAfrica

        Why? Maybe because the conservative right were so upset by the fact a black man could be president that they started a smear campaign against him. Didn't you follow the "birther" movement controversy?

        Agreed. HWVR that points to the fact whether born in or outside US is incosenquential unless if you are a White-American. That's why I urge that Madona isn't thinking her adopted son can't be POTUS bcz of birth but bcz he ain't White-American.

        There are millions of other #African people in #Malawi from less privileged backgrounds with the #leadership potential to easily be #President, @Madonna why your son?
