I guarantee you'd never name those countries Trump called a [BLEEP]. This idea that because it happens here too, so we don't have a right to comment on it is ludicrous. Those things are out of control in Haiti. In no way whatsoever do the problems in Haiti compare to America. I don't know why you're even comparing it.

How is it a problem? Because it isn't politically correct? You said it was a problem, so how is it one? Are we going to lose aid from Haiti or west Africa? Are their horrible leaders going to start wars because we don't like their country? No one cared when Obama called Lybia a [BLEEP] show.

You just made an unsubstantiated claim. What part of this argument is unsubstantiated? Are we now talking about something else or are we still talking about this? If this isn't unsubstantiated then why is it a problem? If this is unsubstantiated then you should be able to show why that is. 

Those words you think "can start wars" has helped motivate North Korea to negotiate with South Korea. Ask the South Korean President who thinks he deserves credit for pushing North Korea into talks. Meanwhile, the media and people like you, were going around telling people those words "can start wars". Had Trump ever threatened a country that didn't already threaten the United States? You guys are sensationalists. As for riots, who cares? We see people riot over things that literally never happened. As for the stock market... well... I'd imagine he's doing OK there. 


It was dumb if there's a chance it hits public hears (obviously it has), but like someone else said, this was a closed-door meeting. I imagine things like this are said all the time. Yes, it's not a smart thing to say. It doesn't, however, make it racist.

If it's not racist, then what is it? He called several countries with heavy majority black populations [BLEEP], then opined on why the whitest of the white of Scandinavia don't make their way over here more often?

You don't have to stand there shouting "Lynch the darkies!" to be racist.

It’s a truthful statement.

Why does everything need an ulterior motive? Haiti is a horrible country. You can’t deny that. Democrats have told us for years that places like Haiti, El Salvador, and the like are horrible places and the immigrants need a better country so they immigrate here. Only because Trump said it is it a problem.
