‘Here is what my #s-hole looks like’: African countries and Haiti react to Trump’s remark
The Washington Post ^ | January 12, 2018 | By Paul Schemm and Eli Rosenberg

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — President Trump’s dismissal of Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “s-hole countries” whose inhabitants are not desirable for U.S. immigration shocked people around the world and provoked swift condemnation.

“The African Union Commission is frankly alarmed at statements by the president of the United States when referring to migrants of African countries and others in such contemptuous terms,” said Ebba Kalondo, the spokeswoman for the African Union.

The reaction from the United Nations human rights spokesman, Rupert Colville, was uncharacteristically blunt. He described the remark as “racist.”

In Haiti, people took to Twitter to share pictures of their country — verdant green hills, palm trees in the sunset, and sparkling turquoise water.

“Hey #S-HolePresident!” wrote Harold Isaac. “Here is what my #s-hole looks like.”

The deputy secretary general of the African National Congress, the party once led by Nelson Mandela, hit back at Trump’s comment during a news conference in South Africa.

“Ours is not a s-hole country. Neither is Haiti or any other country in distress,” Jessie Duarte said.

So, okay, if those countries aren’t sh*tholes, the people there should all be happy and self-reliant and confident. That means they will no longer need our foreign aid, so they won’t mind if we cut that off. That means they will be happy to stay where they are. So they won’t mind if we close our borders to new immigrants from there (Why immigrate if they are happy where they are?). And if a significant number of tourists from this country decide to visit elsewhere, they won’t mind those lost tourist dollars.

Not surprised that so many buy lies these days.

Meanwhile I found myself asking the same question as the president as I drove across town today.

Good. I hope they learn to HATE America, and never wish to come here.

Took the bait and is running with it. Go Tuna go. Hey doofus. How about telling your people that are leaving your country that it is not a dung heap.

Does anybody else remember when the US tried to dock a ship with relief supplies on it in Haiti and the Haitian shirtheads wouldn’t let it dock?

Same thing happened in Puerto Rico with IRMA this past year. The dockworkers and truckers unions in PR refused to unload and/or transship the relief materials and equipment onboard vessels sent from the U.S.

Shitholes can actually be a compliment for some of these ahem ‘nations’. A shithole implies at least a modicum of concern with feaced and its effects. Some ahem nations do not even have shitholes, they just deficate where ever they wish.

First let’s be sure Donald even said it. All we got is Dick Durbin’s word as far as I can tell.

Do not let one guy’s uncorroborated word drag you into a sewer.

Now, now. Not every inch of that state is so... clearly there must be a few cloverleaves, exits, entrances and/or ramps that are nice.
