Trump's got it right: Haiti and many South American/African nations are poo-holes.

No more fooling around


200,000 Salvadorans may be forced to leave the U.S. as Trump ends immigration protection

You can add the USA to that list, now that the bloated orange douche-bag accused of raping small children is in The White House.

The President certainly doesn't mince his words.

The truth is, we are so used to mealy-mouthed politicians that Trumps honesty is shocking.

Ironic since America has been founded from immigration from at-the-time 'shithole' countries. Ireland, England, France etc. And of course the biggest irony is that Africans in the USA were brought there as slaves.

The irony is only beaten by the hypocrisy.

The problem with the President of the USA describing countries in that way is that it is extremely condescending at best, and ignorant at the worst.

There are plenty of sh1thole countries, but its why they are sh1holes that is important. And the reason that the USA is not one of them has a lot to do with providence.

If Trump is going to list Sh1tholes, he needs to put Saudi Arabia at the top, with Iran a close second.

Poverty stricken Central American countries may be sh1tholes. But that is often due to generations of exploitation by family cartels supported by the USA. Who could believe that something as pleasant as tropical fruit could be behind government corruption and murder? Well, me for one.

They are shithole countries, no doubt, but Trump running his mouth doesn't help matters. In fact, he is just digging the hole deeper and burying his administration further. Let's not forget:  Hillary won the popular vote, and while Hillary's political career is over those Hillary voters won't be voting for Donald J Trump next round ...

Probably not. Celebrities as politicians is disturbing and hopefully will end with Donald J Trump.

Now Trump is denying referring to these countries as "shitholes." Is he deranged?

Trump continues to kick goals that will ensures he will get in for a second term.

He's a Man of Action. He's tired of the criminals and parasites, and he's tired of immigrants and refugees always being brindle or black and never white Caucasians.


Quote:

"President Donald Trump, frustrated with America's continued responsibility for immigrants fleeing Third World natural disasters, asked members of Congress Thursday in vulgar terms why the United States had to shoulder such a burden.

'Why are we having all these people from s***hole countries come here?' Trump said, according to two people who were briefed on the meeting and then leaked the comment to The Washington Post.

Trump was reportedly speaking about Haitians and citizens of various African nations.   

'Why do we need more Haitians? Take them out,' he told people in the meeting, according to CNN".

~~~~~

"Trump also said that instead of accepting Africans and Haitians, the U.S. should seek to assimilate people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he met with a day earlier".

~~~~~


"Trump's comment about 's***hole countries' comes at a time when his White House is ending protections for people who sought shelter following natural disasters years, or sometimes decades, ago.

There are approximately 436,900 people with such 'Temporary Protected Status' living in the U.S. from 10 countries – South Sudan, Sudan, Somalia, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Syria, Haiti, Nepal and Yemen. 

Haitians and Nicaraguans have already been told their protection is ending.

The Trump administration said this week that it was also removing the protection for Salvadoran nationals who have been allowed to reside in the U.S. since a pair of earthquakes struck their country in 2001".
