Instead of Greenland, Why Not Zimbabwe?

Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, the former Rhodesia, is dead. 

Mugabe ruined a country known as the breadbasket of Africa.

Just putting it out into the universe, what if Trump decided to make an offer to buy Zimbabwe instead of letting unavailable Greenland ricochet around in his mind?

Zimbabwe's GDP for 2019 is something like 18 billion dollars. While all of our aid to Africa was something like $12B a few years ago (for non-military aid related to food and infrastructure) and Zimbabwe's cut might be in the vicinity of $100 million, restoring the breadbasket of a chronically underfed continent might be more than some "libtard" humanitarian measure.

Once the continent is fed, think of how much better a trade partner and conduit of American culture we might enjoy. Imagine the lifestyle we might have in Africa on our Social Security. With strongmen like Mugabe out of the way, infrastructure and increased international traffic might make it as feasible for back and forth travel as it is when your children want to visit you in your retirement condo in Costa Rica or other options marketed to Americans.

People often forget that a big reason all this aid began in the first place was to woo newly independent African states away from Soviet support which was expected to lead to communism. It was never a bleeding heart enterprise. 

So, if there is any legitimacy to the "art of the deal," I'd say crunch the numbers on the return of an $18B investment in Africa. How much of that $12B do we no longer have to send in aid for food? How much manufacturing can replace China's? How many retirees can fuel the expansion of Western goods, services and logistics? How much real estate can be traded? 

What can we learn from them once they are on their feet?  After all, we would not be going in as experts on Africa; it would be foolish to think we have all the answers.  In an unfamiliar geographical and cultural environment, we don't even have all the questions.  And unlike Greenland, Zimbabwe is embedded in a continent that would have something to say about it, much to teach, and whose early support would be essential.

In spite of Mister Trump's idea of purchasing a country, we tend to denigrate anything that reminds us on any level of colonialism, so it would surprise me if those with the power to act saw an opportunity of mutual benefit.  

That only leaves me with the hope that, with Mugabe merrily on his stygian way, things in Zimbabwe have already reached bottom and there is no way possible but upwards.
