Much of Africa is overrun with great natural resources, yet they do worse than Baltimore, Detroit and other American $h!tholes.
I've traveled a fair amount in Africa and in general, the entire continent is a shithole. There are notable exceptions, but they are few and circling the drain.

What I Learned in the Peace Corps in Africa: Trump Is Right
By Karin McQuillan
Three weeks after college, I flew to Senegal, West Africa, to run a community center in a rural town. Life was placid, with no danger, except to your health. That danger was considerable, because it was, in the words of the Peace Corps doctor, “a fecalized environment.”
In plain English: s-— is everywhere. People defecate on the open ground, and the feces is blown with the dust – onto you, your clothes, your food, the water.

Americans think it is a universal human instinct to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It’s not. It seems natural to us because we live in a Bible-based Judeo-Christian culture.
We think the Protestant work ethic is universal. It’s not. My town was full of young men doing nothing. They were waiting for a government job. There was no private enterprise. Private business was not illegal, just impossible, given the nightmare of a third-world bureaucratic kleptocracy.

We are lectured by Democrats that we must privilege third-world immigration by the hundred million with chain migration. They tell us we must end America as a white, Western, Judeo-Christian, capitalist nation – to prove we are not racist. I don’t need to prove a thing. Leftists want open borders because they resent whites, resent Western achievements, and hate America. They want to destroy America as we know it.
As President Trump asked, why would we do that?

Controversial television host, Valentina Agyeiwaa, aka Afia Schwarzenegger has thrown her weight behind President of the United States, Donald Trump for describing Africa as a ‘Shithole’.

... which he’s denied (several times) ever saying.
My understanding is that, going forward, the term is now Schiff-hole.
Wow, Ghana sounds almost as bad as New Jersey.
Having lived in Ghana some years ago, things are tough, but the people are great. I know many who have won the lottery and now live in Colorado. They are honest, hard working, friendly, and, unlike far too many of their “African-American” cousins, love the USA and the great opportunities it has given them.
As for sh!tholes, try the “one man; one vote; one time” kleptocracies - for example: Zimmbabwe, Nigeria, and the love of the left = South Africa.
If the characterization was wrong it would be easy to demonstrate that it was wrong.
at least Queen Elizabeth tried to clean up a corner of the s..hole and instill rules of common decency in conduct for that century. Certainly can’t say the same for Mugabe, who considers the machete the solution to all his problems.
