And the word "country" is not a synonym for "people."

Following are examples of President Trump's long history of racism: https://twitter.com/tponews/status/774527078687346688

Yep.

Most of the governments in the world today aren't fully democratic.

Including the US.

In addition the US contrasts sharply with more progressive countries in having a national security state that since the late 1940s has harrassed, incarcerated and even killed it's own citizens

The Westminster system of government (and other forms of western government) has been adopted after it was imposed during European colonisation. The administration of colonies required a similar infrastructure in order to transport resources which was then taken over by indigenous leadership that were western educated. Who really runs these countries that Trump calls s**tholes?

Usually, corrupt people who embezzle money and resources on a large scale.

These corrupt people are caretakers for global multinationals who continue to exploit the natural resources of these countries

Trump is not a racist. He never even used the word "sh-t hole" It was a lie told by Democrat Durdin. Trump was correct though in saying that these countries are terrible and the people are not stellar people. The problem is most of these countries are low IQ and therefor they can't control nor maintain proper government in the first place.

I'm pretty sure what rvacountrysinger was trying to say is that he can tell these people are of low IQ by not only their nation of origin, but the colour of their skin. Obviously! :lol: wtf? :lol:

People in some of these countries have been impoverished by war & by rule of outside nations. Haiti got screwed by France and then screwed even harder by the USA. Their own people didn't create their systemic poverty. Other people created it for them.

Former despots Papa doc and baby doc certainly emptied the lifesavings of poor Haitians
Haitian People also suffered after numerous hurricanes needing foreign aid
It takes a special kind of deplorable individual to kick people when they are down...deplorable...oh wait...

haiti has real problems with soil erosion and bad land management, partly due to ages of monocropping and deforestation. wealth is sipped from the rural areas to feed the growing urban population with little returning, in the way of infrastructure or development. a lot of this is to blame on colonial rule, plantations.

i imagine this hurts agriculture quite a bit.


a nation that destroys its soil destroys itself, and this is evident on both ends of the wealth spectrum; just see the recent devastation in the millionaire haven known as montecito, CA.

poor land management in Europe also accounts for an estimated 970m tonnes of soil loss from erosion each year with impacts not just on food production but biodiversity, carbon loss and disaster resilience. High levels of food consumption in wealthy countries such as the UK are also a major driver of soil degradation overseas.

You are probably too young to remember but much of the twisters that cause havoc with the weather in the midwest of the US was caused by poor farming practice resulting in massive soil erosion
Things aren't much better even with precautions put in place

Three Things

1# You're being hypocritical again. The Republicans can't maintain a proper government. That's why the government was shut down.
2# Trump isn't very smart either.
3# The government of Haiti has succeeded in its real goal. Their real goal is to serve big business.

FACT: President Jovenel Moïse is a highly successful businessman. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has filed for bankruptcy six times. He is a terrible businessman. He is only wealthy due to his family connections.

Jovenel Moïse is a good businessman. Unfortunately, he's also a thief and a raging douchebag.

So far the arguments supporting Donald Trump have nothing to do with competency or qualification to be POTUS
