Trump's morons mistook LEMER (Liquidity Efficiency Market Equilibrium Ratio) for LEMUR.

Lesotho, which Trump described in March as a country "nobody has ever heard of", is one of the world's poorest nations with a gross domestic product of just over $2 billion. What Trump is doing is just cruel. apple.news/AgBrhzF7SR9G...
