Should Trump have worded it like that? I believe not. He is correct however. Especially Haiti. I know I'll be disagreed with by my conservative friends but I just think a President shouldn't speak that way. Especially in this day and age. If LBJ would have had the leaks and social media we have today blacks would vote straight Republican. He was one of the most racist Presidents we ever had.

I’ve worked with many people from Haiti before I retired in ‘09. I found them, ALL, to be hard working and smart. One, in particular, is a major in the US Army Reserves (soon to begin his 3rd tour in Iraq), a high-level manager within the GE corporation’s Energy Development Division, has his PE in Electrical Engineering, is presently working on a doctorate in Electrical Engineering, and is a productive, naturalized citizen, married, with 3 kids. His wife has a college degree and works outside the home, too.
Now, tell me, exactly which “shithole” sent him here to make life worse for Americans? Whose job has he taken away? How much welfare is he taking from you? If anything, if you’re on Social Secutrity, Medicare or Medicaid, or any other government subsidy, he’s helping you out with his contributions deducted from his paychecks.
PS. He and his family live just outside Atlanta in a $1,500,000+ home. Seems to me, he’s the kind of Haitian Trumpet would WANT to come here. But, NNoooo! According to,Trumpet, they ALL come from “shithole countries!”
Trumpet is as stupid as his base needs him to be so they can ALL feel like he’s one of them. When, in fact, he couldn’t care less about his “uneducated” and “low-class base.” (His words, not mine.). If he said that his words about “shithole countries” would “go well with my base,” then he thinks his base is as racist as he is. Otherwise, why would he feel the need to comment about his words “going well with [his] base?”
Like Forrest Gump said, “Stupid is as stupid does.” The correlation between Trumpet and his base is absolutely astounding! Trumpet sees it. Why doesn’t his base? I guess their “hero-worship” blinds them as to Trumpet’s true colors ... all white and nothing else.
