The media don't like 'shithole countries' either

President Trump reportedly referred to Haiti, El Salvador, and other places you’d only want to visit in passing on a cruise line as “shithole countries,” and the whole national media acted as if they had to pause their Habitat for Humanity projects to share a cry.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that in a meeting with congressional leaders on immigration, Trump responded to questions about protecting immigrants from those countries by asking, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” He suggested people from Norway or Asia should be prioritized in getting admittance to the U.S.

Though the president denied using the reported language, choosing where your country accepts people from is no more controversial than choosing what foods you want to put in your body.

Given a choice between a steamed lobster tail and the puddles of paste that Ethiopian restaurants serve, I choose the lobster.

But CNN’s Anderson Cooper went on air to say how awful Trump is for calling Ethiopia a shithole. Cooper then continued to describe Ethiopia as, well, a shithole.

“[I]'ve never met a Haitian who isn't strong," Cooper said as he choked back tears. "You have to be to survive in a place where the government has often abandoned its people, where opportunities are few and where mother nature has punished the people far more than anyone should ever be punished."

CNN viewer: Wait, so, why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?

Every Shithole Country on Earth that is ran by Islam, Dictators, Islam, Tyrants, Islam, Socialism, Islam, Communism, and Islam is like this, and has been throughout All of recorded History for the most part.

Whenever you have a Country that isn’t based on Freedom and Liberty for the common citizen, you have a Shithole.

They are Shitholes, and I defy Any TV Jester to go live in Haiti among the natives for 1 year, I will buy your plane ticket. Call me!

Google map these countries and zoom into street view.
Some of them may not even have a street view because no one wants to drive through these countries or in some cases they have no streets!

Cooper [referring to Haiti]: "a place where the government has often abandoned its people, where opportunities are few"

So Cooper blasted Haiti after blasting Trump for blasting Haiti.

And the same holds true of cities in this country. Anywhere you have Democrats running the city, you have s**thole cities. The Democrats are scared that some people may catch on to the similarities between Leftists and tyrants everywhere.

If Ethiopia is so great, then why are they coming here?

Ethiopia is so wildly violent I’m not even sure it’s a viable country. Warlords, pirates, genocide. It’s just pure hellish reality this is one of the worst places on earth. But we’re supposed to pretend it’s like disneyland?

Sure! Sexy little boys probably sell their bodies for a pittance. Easier than traveling to Taormina and paying high prices...

Not only do the media not want to live in those countries, they don’t even want to be there on “assignment.”

All those celebs who promised to leave the US if Trump were elected should move to Haiti to show how wonderful a place it is and to help the Haitians by emoying them as menials

It is pretty much like Leonardo DiCaprio telling all of us that we are Carbon Hogs while jetting to accept his sensitivity award on a private jet round trip. They love to preach lies to us plain and simple.

If they were not shithole countries, there wouldn’t be a steady stream of people coming out of them.

Ethiopia is one of the few African nations that is well run and I don’t believe Ethiopians are coming here in huge numbers. Sadly Ethiopia is in a very bad neighborhood and troubles might be spilling over it’s borders.
