I don't see the problem with it because it's true, especially Haiti.  I think we have a couple of States that are crapholes, too.  I'm sure somebody will come along and set me straight on that soon....

maybe a wrong choice of words, but what the hell.  At least he speaks his mind and doesn't try to be PC about everything.  I'll take brutal honesty any day as opposed to fakes like his predecessor.

If you are brave enough to try, take a tour of many of the crime ridden inner cities (yeah those Democratic bastions of hope and change) and you'll see sh**holes.

I believe the PC term would be "Developing Countries".

Those places like Hispanola have been around for a lot longer than this country and are still Sh**tholes.

Those developing countries never reach fruition. The best they can achieve is France.

IRRC the island of Hispanola has two countries on it.  One is developing, the other is Haiti.

It wouldn’t take that long if we removed their carbon emission limits and stopped sending them money.

By reading what he said.  You might try it sometime, instead of assuming he said what you want him to say.

You might try reading more of what he says, instead of taking little snippets from news stories here and there.  You may have forgotten where I live.

Trump has denied using the word shithol* and there is now a member of the Senate stating that Trump didn't use those words...so I didn't vote.

Take the "Trump" part out of it.  Is "h*thole" offensive when used in reference to a turd world country?

I wonder what Vincente must think of Lindsey Graham....

“The people coming across the southern border live in hellholes. They don’t like that. They want to come here. Our problem is we can’t have everybody in the world who lives in a hellhole come to America,”

Fox probably thinks Graham is a jolly good fellow.  Fox isn't pizzed at the lingo, but he's thrilled that Graham bends over like a Willow for Mexico, despite what he says.  Fox knows Graham doesn't mean a damned thing he says.

Absolutely not.  Some can be classified as shitholes and others are just plain hellholes.

So who is going to take the job of ambassador to shithole x, y and z? And doesn't that make the job just a wee bit more difficult if not impossible?

Yeah, because nothing bad ever happens to our embassies when a Rat is in charge.
