Is Trump right, calling Africa a “shithole”?

[Bogbrush]

I’m surprised that after 48 hrs this topic hasn’t hit TV but...

 

If he actually said it, isn’t he a teeny weeny bit right? And isn’t it also something many have wanted to say for years, but correctness (cowardice) has prevented us from doing?

 

I wonder....

Right or wrong is like black or white. As you get older you realise that nearly everything is a shade of grey.

 

Are there shithole places in Africa? Yes. Are there shithole places in America? Yes.

 

I wonder how many of the places he thinks are shithole he has actually visited in person?

[oldcarguy]

when you are in your Limo  most places look like S-holes

 

But  what he said is true , he is just not going to sugar coat his words like professional  politicians ,   and he often speaks without thinking or caring what his words mean to others , 

 

its going to be a rocky 3 more years if  you worry about what he says or Tweets everyday !

I don't prefer his personality, but I do respect the fact that he is not afraid to say what many people are thinking. I think that is why he was voted into office. So many people sick and tired of presidents saying one thing, then doing the opposite. So far, Trump delivers what he promised.   

 

The media is throwing the race card around for "click bait" profit, but he NEVER mentioned skin color. He is an economics man, and I believe was only talking about money and American financial interests. Just IMHO.

Dude, the president of the United States is SUPPOSED to be well above some drunken vulgar schmo in a bar or an internet forum. trump has degraded the presidency and thus degraded the reputation of the USA all over the world.

He did not say it in public - if he said it at all. A few rat-finks who hate his guts reported it and other politicians denied he used those words.  My guess is that he said something similar, but his detractors spun what he actually said to make it much worse.

Maybe facts help somewhat? :

Maybe yes, maybe no.

 

No maybe about this not being Thailand related.
