Nearly every word Trump utters is a racist statement, according to the Lib MSM. Thank you dtuctman for keeping a sense of reality here. Yes, similar things have been said before by American presidents and the media did not start doing backflips 24/7 about it. Did not the golden boy Obama not call Libya a "shitshow"? Rhetorical question, yes he did. So why are the media in meltdown now? Answer is because it is Trump that said it, and the media did not want Trump to win.

Referring to a situation with unflattering language is completely different than labeling an entire continent, mostly Black, and a Western country, again, mostly black using the language he did.

whaleboneman Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Arguing with a Trump supporter is much like arguing with a Jehova's Witness. These people are all firm believers and no amount of reason or logic will enlighten them. The president is a liar, a racist, a mysoginist, a psychopath and pretty stupid as well. All the evidence of these facts are ignored by his devout followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranky Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Calling a shithole a shithole is fine, we've all been to countries and referred to them as shitholes. I've heard people refer to this place as one, difficult to defend. The issue is the POTUS saying it in the context he did and revealing what a <deleted> racist bigot he is.

As usual Trump speaks publicly about things that millions and millions of people agree with but only speak about in private. Including many people who are actually living in or lived in those countries he speaks of. If he rattles the cages of the leaders of these s*h*le nations so be it.

Parts of New York, Miami, San Fran certainly fit the description. Doubt you'd hear any other prominent politician say so though. This guy has no respect for the office he occupies, the position he holds nor the majority of people he governs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opl Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Trump expresses no pity or sympathy. but xenophobic violence towards immigrants in Africa is'nt uncommon , Africans can be racist too, and the problems African countries can't solve come from the Africans themselves.

You clearly don't appreciate circumstance or the history of the U.S. political parties, slavery and racial discrimination. How many democrats are members of KKK and how many Republicans these days???

tezzainthailand Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I wonder if Mister Trump has actually visited any of these countries he refers to as 'shitholes'? Pretty good coming from a leader of a country whose health system is worthy of a 'shithole' and from a country that loves blowing up other countries and turning them into 'shitholes' (Iraq pssibly?).

There isn't such a difference in standards, dude.Obama never suggested that we shouldn't have people migrating to the USA from non-white shithole countries in favor of people from the whitest of the white countries. People have to be very dim to not see the disgusting RACISM in trump's sentiments (for years now) and his white resentment motivated base.You can play fake games to say this is only about obscenity.But it's not true.It's about the context.

He is alleged to have said that to aides behind closed doors. He didn't say it before Congresspeople and Senators. And he was referring to the civil chaos in Libya created by the war. A specific situation. He didn't generalize about countries just based on prejudice. And the reason Presidents shouldn't use the same language as private citizens is because when he speaks he represents the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
