Trump - “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”

[Anonymous]

Read the whole quote. Context is everything. No one, and I mean no one is complaining about the use of the phrase. it is the context.

So in context, he would not have called Russia a shithole because that wouldn't fit with what he was saying, now would it?

I mean, I am not even sure how or why this would make a difference

Only because Perdue and Cotton look like idiots and are desperately searching for a non-existent out.

You can pretend that Slovenia is a self sufficient country, but the reality is that without the EU pouring millions into that country, it would indeed still be a sh1tshow. Without the EU, Slovenia would've still been a sh1tshow with Russia as its master. And since Slovenia receives more money from the EU than it contributes, I'd say Slovenians are the freeloaders of the EU.

You can pretend all you want that countries addressed by Trump as shitholes did not receive billions of dollars and help from thousands of humanitarian workers, and still remain what they are today.
And Slovenians don't eat people, don't chop off limbs and heads, don't allow child marriages, and don't have MS13 type deep rooted shadow governments.
Stop bashing Slovenia, it's not working.

You can't prove it so you can't make that argument. You (or libearals) called him a racisit because he called a shithole a place that happens to be inhabited by brown people.
So if he (hypothetically) calls a shithole a place filled with white people would you (hypothetically) still call him a racisit?

What exactly is wrong with wanting white people?

Let's see what white haters racists have to say. I am getting some popcorn. You just opened a can of worms .

Which way is it going to be? Tell it like it and let it roll off your back, or be offended and whine all the time? Are we needing to have some reverse Political Correctness for not calling out racism for what it is. HYPOCRITES, dragging America and all our ideals down the toilet.

And by the way - all of you are from immigrant ancestors unless you are 100% Native American. I wish someone had restricted these people's ancestors' immigration back in the day.

Are you kidding me? Are you talking about liberals? I've never come across a more vile, nasty group of people in my life. The constant derision and putdowns - told to go to hell, labeled racists and morons, call a-holes (and worse) - is not treating fellow human beings, whose crime was nothing more than not voting for your candidate, with respect and decency.

I continue to be amazed as to how liberals see themselves as kind, decent people all the while they demonize and curse people who have different political preferences. Take a look in the mirror.

So you are more concerned about someone calling you a "prick" than you are about the openly racist comments on this thread? Don't be surprised if people do tell you to STFU.

Oh stop being disingenuous.

The president didn't say "there are serious problems in Hait and some African countries." If he had no one would have disagreed with that. Instead, he dismissed them with a vulgarity, and implied their inhabitants are not the sort of people we want in the US. Here's a hint: that's an insult.

How many Americans go ape-shit if people say anything negative about this country. How many times do you hear "leave this country if you don't like it" or "love it or leave it" or "my country right or wrong" -- just because someone dares to critique something about the US that can be improved?

Except that Trump, of course, can imply America's not great rignt now (MAGA) and these same people go wild with applause.

Ethiopia is a shithole. In fact the late Emperor Haile Selassie's head was stuff in a toilet full of shit when the opposition killed him. The Haitians and Africans posting on Facebook are defending the shithole countries they fled. Not disingenuous, simply reality. No one is leaving Norway because it's not a shithole. Few people immigrate from the US because it's not a shithold. Many people leave South Sunda, because it is a shithole Many people leave Equitorial Guinea because it is a shithole. If these places were so great, why would people leave them? No one can or will answer this question.

Spot-on. You're my new favorite poster.
We have friends who travel extensively throughout Europe. They were appalled by Trump's "shithole" comment, so we asked if they had ever considered traveling to Haiti or any African countries. Of course, their answer was no. "But why?" we asked. Crickets.

The only Americans I met in Haiti outside of Port au Prince were conservative Christian aid workers. In several African countries the Chinese are rebuilding the infrastructure to establish factories and shipping centers because Africans work for less than the Chinese. If they can continue the economic colonization in sub-Saharan Africa, fewer people may leave. Rwanda was a prime shitholeb following the genocide, now the Chinese have cleaned it up

I have wondered when that was going to happen. China's eventually going to run out of cheap labor as their standards of living grows so they are expanding to the last place where you can still find cheap labor and people willing to work for pennies.

This is exactly what happened in Taiwan and S. Korea. Remember a few decades ago when everything cheap was made in Taiwan or S. Korea? Labor costs there have sky rocketed and now they outsource their manufacturing to cheaper places like Cambodia and Vietnam.

the only way those manufacturing jobs will come back to the US is if our standard of living and labor costs are that of the 3rd world, ie, we become a sh1thole.

That's right and remember that Africa will have nearly half of the working age people by mid-Century.

Indeed, Trump's own clothing line is made in a sh1thole country - Bangladesh, and he thinks they are the best.

He's fine with using their cheap labor apparently, but not fine with with helping them deal with refugees. They are a poor country but are willing to help refugees out, unlike Trump.

Has our education system really failed to this extent?

Trump implied that the people coming from these countries have something wrong with them. That is vicious and untrue.

Sadly yes, our education system has failed. The way racism supersedes basic critical thinking skills in the minds of so many proves that out.

Hardlly. Our education system is to blame, but not for what you said. Colleges are teaching that whiteness is a problem and that critical thinking and independent judgement will be condemned. Fall in line behind the liberal mantra, or face the consequences - up to and including death threads.

Death threads, huh?

Sounds like quite a tangled mess. Perhaps you should give us some sources to keep us in the loop. It seems like you have quite a tapestry of persecuted feelings to deal with. Help us sew the pieces together here.

Cute comeback, but really....focus on a one-letter typo rather than address the hate and intolerance on the left? Should the party that pats itself on its collective back for its "inclusiveness" really threaten people with different opinions?

Wah wah I’m conservative and the liberals keep hurting my feewings! They’re not even taking death threads seriously! Someone could get strangled!

Hopefully a liberal.

OH NO! CONSERVATIVES WANT LIBERALS TO DIE!!!


Is that how you do it? I'll have to bring this up at least 10000x in future threads.

The death wishes are getting out of hand!!!!! OH NO!!!!!!

So Dick Durbin fabricated a conversation which Lindsey Graham verified as true to Tim Scott (and Jeff Flake) and the WH and other participants didn't deny for days just cause.....Or Tom Cotton and David Perdue are lying.

If he had said "of course people from shitholes want to come here to improve their lives, and we should welcome them because that is what America does," no one would have blinked.

What he said was "why do we let people who come from shitholes into our country," WHICH IMPLIES THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE THEMSELVES UNWORTHY.

You can't spin that in any way that is believable.

You also can't make me believe he would ever say keep the Russians out, even though in many respects their country is a shithole (in terms of its anti-democratic tendencies). And if he did say keep the Russians out because their country is a shithole, I would not support him in that.
