I do know that it's a country that's suffered more than its fair share of natural disasters in the recent past, leaving its infrastructure decimated. It wasn't exactly a booming industrial power to begin with, but I'm pretty sure that if my house burned down and you said that you don't need me or anyone else from my [BLEEP] house on your lawn, I'd be annoyed. And so would lots of your other neighbors.

I have been. It was a [BLEEP] before and after these recent natural disasters. What you’re talking about is irrelevant to the conversation. At the moment, Haiti is not an ideal country to import more immigrants from. No one likes to hear that but it’s  the truth. It’s people are overwhelmingly uneducated, high crime, and few people have unique skills. 

You do realize the same is true of the people in this country, right?

The fact that our President is going around calling countries this is a huge problem.  The fact that it's even mentioned as a possibility, and nobody even thinks it's out of the realm of the expected, is a problem.

I am never going to understand the defense of Trump being "Well at least he tells us the things that are on his mind!"  Folks, the things on his mind are unsubstantiated claims, narcissism, and a general lack of understanding of the office he now holds.  This is not a positive.  This should be an alarm.  He doesn't even have enough self-awareness to think "Hm.  Best not say that thing because it's probably going to cause an issue."

I know some of you think it's good that he doesn't care if he causes issues.  But this is a man whose words can start wars and riots and affect the stock market and the global economy.  HE SHOULD CARE.

The guy is unfit for the office he holds, to the nth degree.  I have no idea how people continue to defend him.
