The people care, but are ruled by despots. Think of worse than Venezuela.

Whether you like it or not, the everyday citizens of Haiti have dealt with govt and outsider corruption for years, massive corruption. They then were scammed by the Clinton Foundation after a devastating earthquake. They have had to fight for their very physical survival.

I mean he says Haitians have fought more injustice....from whom????

there are no white folks on the island.....its a complete shithole and hasn't improved in centuries....
I mean they only have themselves to blame

ok, so the Clintons and their foundation.....I'm on board...but there is still the 200 years before that......youre right its the govt, and until they care, why should we?

yeah I know, but they had one revolution, you would think they would do another and get a real govt in place
if not, it's just gonna be a shithole forever

I got it....but other countries have nice towns and resort areas......how are you so backwards......I mean a per capita GDP of $450 is shameful......

The State Dept. recommends US citizens avoid traveling to third-world countries the mainstream media claims President Trump referred to as “shitholes.”
State Dept Warns: Avoid Travel to Shithole Countries
-----------------------------------------------------------

OH look warnings not to go to SHIT HOLE countries imagine that. Oh why don't you dumb ass leftist take a trip down there and see if you think it's NOT a shit hole if you make it back alive that is.
IDIOTS you want this shit in our Country proves how pathetically fkn stupid you asses are.

 

[Issa]

the only country that Trump would be safe is probably Israel.

 

[Lastamender]

You know, up until yesterday when Trump made his "shithole" comment, I NEVER saw the word "shit" or "shithole" anywhere on the news. If they were reporting someone saying stuff like this, they would use ****hole or **** instead.

Now? All the news agencies that are reporting it are actually spelling it out as well as saying it unbleeped, even during morning and afternoon broadcasts.

Yep.............Trump sure is making America great again. Now your kids can learn new and interesting words on the news.

If people did not have a problem with reality they would not be upset.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as "shithole countries" during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators at the White House, a Democratic aide briefed on Thursday's meeting told NBC News.

Trump's comments were first reported by The Washington Post, which said the nations referred to by Trump also included El Salvador.

The U.N. human rights office said the comments, if confirmed, were "shocking and shameful" and "racist," while Haiti's foreign minister summoned the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Robin Diallo for clarification.

Two sources briefed on the conversation say that during the portion of the conversation about Haiti — which came at the top of the exchange that led to the “shithole” comment — the president questioned why Haitians should be given specific consideration.

“Why do we need more Haitians, take them out,” he said, according to sources. Someone else in the room responded: “Because if you do, it will be obvious why.”

The White House issued a statement that did not deny the remarks, however Trump tweeted an apparent denial early Friday: "The language used by me at the ... meeting was tough, but this was not the language used."

It came as senators huddled in the Oval Office with the president to discuss a path forward on an immigration deal. Trump questioned why the United States would want people from nations such as Haiti while he was being briefed on changes to the visa lottery system.

According to the aide, when the group came to discussing immigration from Africa, Trump asked why America would want immigrants from "all these shithole countries" and that the U.S. should have more people coming in from places like Norway.

A source familiar with the meeting told NBC News the president was particularly frustrated during discussions about the visa lottery system — a program Trump has railed against repeatedly in recent months. Another White House source explained the language Trump used as his way of trying to emphasize his support for a merit-based immigration system.

Later Thursday, railed against Democrats over ongoing talks on an immigration deal. "The Democrats seem intent on having people and drugs pour into our country from the Southern Border, risking thousands of lives in the process. It is my duty to protect the lives and safety of all Americans. We must build a Great Wall, think Merit and end Lottery & Chain. USA!" he wrote.

Botswana's government on Friday said Trump had been "reprehensible and racist," and said it has summoned the U.S. ambassador to clarify whether the nation is regarded as, to use Trump's word, a "shithole" country.

U.N. human rights office spokesman Robert Colville told reporters that the remarks could "potentially damage and disrupt the lives of many people."

The "shocking and shameful" remark "legitimizes the targeting of people based on who they are," he said, adding: "I'm sorry, but there's no other word one can use but racist."

Haiti Ambassador to the U.S. Paul G. Altidor called Trump's comments “regrettable” and based on “clichés and stereotypes rather than actual fact.”

The ambassador underscored the indelicate timing of the comment, pointing out that Friday is the eighth anniversary of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, which is estimated to have killed well over 200,000 people.

Altidor said that since the reports of Trump's remarks, he had been “bombarded by emails from the American public apologizing” and said he knew Trump's comments were “not the views of the American public.”

The African Union said it was "alarmed" by Trump's statement. "Given the historical reality of how many Africans arrived in the United States as slaves, this statement flies in the face of all accepted behavior and practice," spokeswoman Ebba Kalondo said, adding that it was “particularly surprising as the United States of America remains a global example of how migration gave birth to a nation built on strong values of diversity and opportunity."

In Lagos, Nigeria, IT worker Mayowa Okuwade said: “I think every African country should just learn from this and probably just stay in their country and work with their resources … I am very much sure things will get better."

Others quickly decided to own Trump's language or throw it back in his face. "Good morning from the greatest most beautiful 'shithole country' in the world!!!" South African Broadcasting Corporation anchor Leanne Manas tweeted.

Republican Rep. Mia Love of Utah — the daughter of Haitian immigrants — released a statement saying Trump's comments were "unkind, divisive, elitist, and fly in the face of our nation's values" and demanding an apology from the president.

And Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., said in a tweet that the reported remark "ignores the contributions thousands of Haitians have made to our #SoFla community and nation. Language like that shouldn't be heard in locker rooms and it shouldn't be heard in the White House".

It’s not the first time reports have surfaced of Trump speaking unfavorably about immigrants, and Haitians in particular. The New York Times reported in December that Trump said Haitian immigrants "all have AIDS," during a summer 2017 meeting about immigration.

According to the Times, Trump also targeted Nigerian immigrants during that meeting, complaining that once they came the United States they would never "go back to their huts." The White House vigorously denied the claims in the story at the time.

... Now News ...

It's certainly a good thing that he pissed off some Republicans in Congress, but he needs to piss off even more before they decide to do something about him.

Well, he has shamed the USA, but let's see how many of them care.

... Now News ...

SCREW YOU you total fake and fraud. Who sent you here? Who is paying you? Who do you work for? This is a total non-issue made by Trump's enemies from a private conversation made public as attempt #286 to try to harm him. No one here is buying your crap. EVERYONE with a brain knows that Haiti et al are shitholes of the world, even many now feigning shock and disgust. The problem isn't Trump, it is scum like you and the rest of the world caught with their pants down around their ankles now fearing dealing with an honest man who doesn't dance the elitist dance and play their globalist oligarchy game.

 

[Steve_McGarrett]

Trump was right about he Haitians. Even the founders would agree with him.

 

[JGalt]

The point isn't whether or not many if not most of those countries are "shitholes", the issue is that the POTUS shouldn't be referring to other countries with that language.

Turns out it was Fake News, he didn’t say it. Most of us didn’t have a problem with it because number one, it’s factual, and it was in a private meeting.

Some say he said it, others say he didn't. The man does have a history of making somewhat unfortunate remarks that could be taken as racist or sexist or otherwise dumbshit stupid for a US President to be saying. I like the job he's doing, most of his policies are good ones but Jesus, the guy has very little discretion at times.

It’s a private meeting. He can curse all he wants. You don’t think the Hussein ever cussed? We all know Hillary goes off the rails behind the scenes.

Hillary is the most foul-mouthed demon who ever came close to the White House. She is by no means a "lady."

Trump is helping Russia to invade the USA!
Russians Flock to Trump Properties to Give Birth to Anchor Baby U.S. Citizens #MAGA!!!

It is a travesty that birthright clause of the 14th amendment has been bastardized in such a way.

However, at these Russia birth immigrants have money to sustain themselves. Most of the birthright abusers from south of the border go straight to public assistance.

Probably because they hear echoes of 1930s Germany coming from the Orange Filth presently desecrating our White House.

please explain, w/o lying, how it's trumps fault the media isn't editing what it says on air.


to be every so clear; W/O LYING

Because it's what the president actually said. And, apparently the media thinks that if Trump can say it, so can they, because they are reporting his exact words.

Ever occur to you that the whole point of airing this private conversation and spelling it out is just to try to harm him? He has an entire government-media complex following him around 24 hours a day looking for ANYTHING they can use to try to make trouble for him. IT'S CALLED THE DEEP STATE HE WAS ELECTED TO GO IN AND FIGHT TO CLEAN UP! God, I thought you had a brain! When Obama promised to be more flexible with our #1 enemy after he was reelected, did every news network in the country air that audio? No. All that is being proven here to the nation is that everything Trump said about corruption and the swamp in Washington was absolutely true and it's going to backfire on the Left when the country REDOUBLES ITS EFFORTS in supporting him in 2020.

Donald J. Trump is a prophet. Every time he says something, it comes true. Remember what he said about the riots in Sweden? he caught hell for it and a few days later, they happened. One year before 9/11, Trump predicted it. He predicted that Roy Moore would lose. He predicted Brexit. Her predicted that Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic nominee. He predicted a record cold 2018. He predicted that Anthony Weiner would 'tell the world' about Hillary Clinton's emails. I swear the guy is a fucking Nostradamus.

If he says something about "shithole countries", then something is going to happen in a couple days. Watch.
