He allegedly used the term.
Unless someone has released some form of proof?

And while it's not the most professional thing to say, if he did even say it, how is it racist?

I think Southern Ireland is a terrible place to live because the infrastructure is essentially still from the 1960's.

Does that make me racist towards the people who live there? Of course not.
It just means I think they need to improve the structure of the country, whether that be economically, governmentally, or socially.

Some countries are better to live in than other countries and I'd be surprised if a straight-talking person like Donald Trump didn't say something like that.

Western nations are, in my opinion, better places to live than pretty much every other nation aside from a select few.
In comparison to a country like England, Eritrea is as Donald Trump has allegedly described it.
That's why so many people want to live in western nations and will die trying to get to them and why barely anybody from France, the UK, Canada, or any other western nation thinks, "I'll move my family to Ethiopia this year so we can have a better life."

I think that saying someone is racist if they make this distinction is absurd.

I think that the media needs to chill out with all of the Trump said this or Trump said that stories. I understand that Trump is the president, and he is going to get a lot of media coverage. But it seems like the media is trying to find/make any and every story they can to make people hate Trump.

As Eli said, this whole story was based on Trump ALLEGEDLY saying something. We were never given proof. For all we know, this could be a made up story.

I do not understand why someone would think that his alleged statement was racist. I guess this is the media trying to make Trump look bad again. I understand that most people in places like Haiti are non-white, but I did not read anything about Trump's alleged statement including race.

And regardless of whether or not Trump should have said what he allegedly did, what he said is true.

And if you truly disagree, then tell me why people from these countries want to immigrate to countries like the United States?

I would almost bet money that if you were to ask a person from Haiti or a similar country why they would want to move to somewhere like the United States, they would say it is because their country is a "shithole".

I think what people are blowing out of proportion behind this, is allegedly Trump said the US should be bringing in more people from places like Norway, which I can see why some people are overreacting and assuming he means a country with a predominantly white race. I personally thought he meant a country like Norway for religious reasons, since Trump did say about prioritising Christian refugees, which I just put together with having a favourable choice of Christian immigrants since Norway holds a majority of Christianity or at the least some secular form of Christianity, like our main religion is Orthodox Christianity in Russia, but people would still see it as some form of Christianity.

I looked for the audio clip and couldn't find it, only found news stations talking over the meeting, which is whatever. Whether he said it or not, some places are shit holes and some places are a little piece of paradise. I'll use my home country as an example.

Norilsk Russia, polluted to hell (think it was the most polluted city at one point/still is,) snow is not uncommon to be black/grey from the pollution, air tastes of pure sulfur. Daldykan River there literally turned red from the metal pollution. If you don't get some form of cancer or any health disease by your 40's, must be some God watching over you.

Parts of Russia bordering Ukraine and Georgia, kinda self explanatory, they are kinda seen as the undesirables to a lot of people, because they are near countries that aren't too friendly with Russia. Infrastructure is absolutely a mess in a lot of the smaller Oblasts, potholes in some roads that look like it was a warzone (kinda was in some areas lol.) Plus the towns out there are really poor, with much older buildings that are on their last legs.

Chelyabinsk Russia. Grandfather used to live there near the late 80's and he would always make jokes about how it's basically it's own "Mafia City." Crime rate is very high there but corruption such as bribery and paid "protection" is rampant there. Even 30 years later, it's still not exactly close to being fixed.

Anyways, few examples. Shit holes. I don't know of anyone personally in Russia who would be willing to move in those areas. There are shit holes all over the world, some are just worst than others for any number of reasons. I take great pride in my home country, but I won't even try to deny that there are shit holes within it's own border, yet there are some people out there losing their mind over the fact that some countries/cities/towns whatever are shit holes -- when they never lived or even entered in those areas.

Theres nothing wrong with the republic, infact it would be better to live there than the north. #Brits Out

least racist person anyone will ever interview

Yeah Cool story bro

I wouldn't really consider him the least racist person lol.

All the president has is a terrible way of expressing himself. While the comment he said was disparaging and extremely wrong, nobody on this planet can sit back and say "Oh, I'd wish I lived in Kenya." or "Damn, it's time to go visit my summer house in Haiti." People, you can't really sit there and tell me you've never thought that countries such as Kenya or Haiti are terrible places to live; pushing these countries down and referring to them as 'shitholes' is extremely rough but when examining these countries, they're not places fit to live normal lives. If most of you went on a trip to any of those places, you'd refer to those places as 'shitholes' too; you wouldn't say it that way but you'd think it.

All these media outlets are really wasting lots of time with all the drama around Donald Trump. The man's an idiot personally but so is Lavar Ball, giving idiots media attention only makes them more powerful.

Really?

That is your whole comment? That is all you could think of? 17 characters is all you could think of?

I'm not normally a grammar Nazi, but considering that you called the president of the U.S. stupid, please read before you type. He is one guy, not "dudes". And you did not even make a whole sentence.

Looking at your profile, most of your comments are useless...

You go and find a dead post and post this knowing that someone like me is going to get triggered.

I understand that everyone has opinions, and that is great. I admit that I am a Trump supporter, but that is not why I am making this comment. I am making this comment because you make pointless and useless comments.

Please do not take this as me hating on you. I simply wish that you would put some more thought and effort in to your post. Not everything requires an essay, but somethings like the comment you just made, should have never been posted. It is doing nothing aside from triggering people. Either make a decent comment or just do not post at all. Thank you.

I think he is actually a pretty good president. He's already created loads of jobs as well as make credible tax cuts which have benefited MILLIONS of people and companies.

People just know how to catch him and at the wrong time. Half the bad shit he has said, he said in a private place while being privately recorded without his knowledge.
