Trump calls non-white countries "s**tholes"

Post Reply New Topic

And another thing, again the Left is twisting the truth.......

"Wreckage from natural disasters is endemic in nations like Haiti (pictured) and El Salvador, while African refugees from nations like Rwanda and Sudan flee oppressive governments and long-lasting civil wars between warring tribes and sects."

"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.

The Haitians were fleeing an equally devastating 2010 earthquake."


We can't, as a nation, keep housing these people for years. And now the Left wants to legalize all these so called "dreamers" who are illegal citizens and let their families come here. The craziness never ends.

This seems to be the usual hacky rhetoric that really boils down to the worn out insinuation or outright claim that Trump and anyone not against Trump are racist. The left runs around yelling "racist!" on a continual basis. And here of course we have our in house sensationalists cyberdad and darthmetaknight for lulz.

I am disappointed that people are jumping to the racism conclusion.

Trump denies saying it, but as for the question itself, the reasoning behind it is flawed. The culture rather than the poverty level is what should be looked at. For instance India is poor but Indians have built a well earned reputation as good, hard workers. Both as immigrants and as employees of foreign businesses setting up in India. China is a big deal now but it didn't used to be and Chinese had and have a similar reputation. Certain peoples drastically outperform others as immigrants. And they should be rewarded for that.

It's like saying Japan must be considered a s**thole because it's a "non-white country". Doesn't make any sense. It obviously has to do with poor living conditions.

On a brass plaque attached to the Statue of Liberty:

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”


Where does it say which countries' refugees are allowed in and which ones are not?

I just watched a Washingrton Post blurb and the spokesperson is saying Trump allegedly said this to lawmakers.

Is this yet another one of these claims that can't be pinned down? Is there anyone with a name saying they heard Trump say this in person? Who reported this to the Washington Post, another anonymous source?

Any ideas on how to pay for all of those "tired, poor and huddled masses"? I'm all ears.

Wait, I know. You're a chemist, we should probably tax you more.

They are just saying it was leaked from someone who was at the meeting.

That's a very good point. I already said Trump denies it, but I've read quite a bit on this and I've seen no names.

The media can't be trusted when it comes to Trump unless they have solid proof. The same of course goes for Trump himself.

Calling a bunch of foreign predominately "Colored" countries "s**tholes" while wishing for blindingly lily-White, blonde-haired, blye-eyed immigrants instead is a great way to gin up all of the knuckleheads in his cult while distracting everyone else from the investigation into his treasonous collaboration with Russia.

This is bad reasoning, because if this were to be true you'd need Trump to actually say it in front of us.

I'm not sure if I buy this narrative regarding "political alliances" or whatever.

Trump said that the Nigerians "won't go back to their huts". In other words, Trump thinks that African people are uncivilized.

Why does Trump consider Nigeria to be a s**thole country? He considers Norwegians to be good people. Why?

Trump seems to value religion. Which country is more religious? Nigeria or Norway? It is, of course, Nigeria.

The most prominent religion in Nigeria is Christianity. Nigerians are mostly Christian. Isn't that something that Trump would like?

Nigeria is less politically correct. It's more traditional. It's more patriarchal. Nigerians are not as educated as Norwegians. Trump says that he loves people who are poorly educated.

Nigeria is more capitalist than Norway. Norway has a universal health care system. Nigeria does not.

In other words, Nigeria is a Christian conservative country. Why does Trump have a problem with them?
Meanwhile, Norway is a very liberal country ... but Trump likes Norwegians! Hmmmm...

See? This is why people call Trump a racist. He will insult a country run by Christian conservatives just because they happen to be black.

In order to illustrate my point even further, I will now compare Trump to Norway and Haiti.

Trump has a macho complex. Which country has more machismo in its culture? Haiti!
Trump hates political correctness. Which country has less political correctness in its culture? Haiti!
Trump is a Christian. Which country is more Christian? Haiti!
Trump is a capitalist. Which country is more capitalist? Haiti!
Trump is traditional. Which country is more traditional? Haiti!
Trump is white. Which country is whiter? Norway.

Huh.

Many Americans would say Norway is the "s**thole" because of the high taxes.

If I owned a company I would fire Trump immediately as well as anybody involved with hiring him.

I understand this is common New York casual style of language, I’m from here. But this was said at a business meeting.

In the pre political correctness mid 80’s I worked at a small company and things were commonly said and done that would have anybody involved with said company not allowed to have a moment of peace if that got out today. One day Chinese food was delivered and an employee yelled quite publicly “The Chinese food is here”. The employee was fired and the company paid the restaurant. The company did not have to do that, the delivery man probably would not have said anything there were no cell phones to record it. But the employee at that moment became the public face of the company and acted unprofessionally. Trump is the public face of America and he is unprofessional to put it mildly every other day.

Deep Question: Is Trump ever going to call Saudi Arabia a s**thole? Is he ever going to tell them to go back to their huts?

Of course not.

Apparently, Trump likes brown Muslims more than Black Christians ... or maybe this is just about money.
