    When I heard this I wanted to stand up and cheer! Its about time that we stopped being the sewer for every POS country in the third world. They have nothing we want so why should we be importing any more of them than we already have? The US today is like a dog that is covered with fleas and ticks. We don't need any more fleas or ticks.

    America first.
    That means making sure people who come here offer something to the Nation. We are not here to just be filled up with the worlds sad stories. If you offer something to America, welcome aboard. Happy to have you.

    If you don't, why should we take you? We've got enough poor and downtrodden citizens of our own. Charity begins at home as they say.

    I may be wrong but I really don't think Trump was considering India to be a sh*thole country. Why would he? A lot of Indian scientists provide the brainpower to do many jobs that our lounging generation of Millennials have neither the education nor the energy to do.

    But Haiti, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and African countries? What the hell do we need any more immigration from any of these sh*tholes for? With damned few exceptions, they bring nothing of any value to our country, and experience has demonstrated that they'll probably bring nothing but disease, disability, and an instant need for welfare of every kind on the menu that is supposed to be completely reserved for AMERICAN citizens!

    I've only been somewhat lukewarm toward Trump lately, but, man -- I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically agree with Trump about this! And, boy, is he ever going to catch hell for saying things like this by the hyperliberal socialist-Left! But, at the same time, none of these America-hating slimebags will be able to tell you WHY they think we should go on bringing in more immigrants from these places....

    That's exactly the kind of term that would be used sitting around the bar talking about politics. He speaks his mind.

    He does speak from where the mind should be. You have to give him credit for that.

    The liberals want these people here, just not in their own neighborhoods. But let's freak out because Trump said something everyone already knew.

    One question: Do you ever want the US to be respected by other countries, even those that have fewer resources and aren't near as developed as we are? and B. Do you believe all Haitians have AIDS, as assumed by Trump? And that Nigerians should go back to living in huts?

    This isn't telling it like it is. This speaks volumes on your view toward foreigners. have you ever met a foreigner who isn't Canadian. The deplorables are out in force.

    Are there shithole countries? Yes. Does it matter if an immigrant comes from one? No.

    The underlying argument is whether or not we should be selective or indiscriminate of whom should be allowed to participate in the bounty that is our country. The answer from both sides appears to contain discrimination. The problem is compromising the terms of that discrimination.

    I have no desire to stick up for Trump. I think he's crass and playing to the lowest common denominator. But I do have a desire to stick up for America, and I think it's imperative for an immigrant to know, understand, and love what it means to be one. Shithole countries are shitholes for many reasons; some of which are shithole ideas. People who subscribe to those ideas are the ones I'd like to keep out.

    It is much easier for a man like him to blame other countries for making the world worse when he has squandered so much money and opportunity in his life and has yet to bring any improvement to this country. Tons of immigrants from what were considered those shithole countries came to the US with little or nothing and through hard work and effort made this country better for their presence. He was born here with everything and has gone bankrupt many times while destroying hundreds of American lives and positions, and making this country weaker and worse off for all of his life.

    One thing that can be said for him is he does seem to represent the large section of white Americans who squander their advantages every day and blame others for their own failings and wrecking their own lives and families. It is always someone else's fault for the alt right, and their loss of power, wealth, and respect having been handed everything only shows how truly fail they are. It is why despite the innovation and advantage of America we have not lead the world into a new age of prosperity for everyone. Trump and the alt right do not want to make America great again. They want to spoil whatever is left for anyone else. We saw it when Obama first became president and they could do nothing but root for failure. When he did not destroy the country as they predicted and cheered for they decided they would elect someone who could because he destroys everything he was ever given. We will just see if America is stronger than trump's losing streak. Since we are not relying on his alt right to survive I suppose America will survive him despite their efforts to destroy it.

    What an obtuse comment. The entire liberal ethos is centered around the deferment of individual responsibility. Are you saying Trump is a liberal? Because I've been saying that all along.

    How much money has been invested in these countries? And what do they have to show for it? Absolutely nothing. Hati, classic example. It was a asshol* of the world when the 10th Mtn. Div, went in and it still is. Something can be said for alot of the Latin/South American countries.

    Actually trump represents one of the worst parts of the democrats. I won't call it liberal because that is not the proper term. Trump was a huge NY Clinton liberal back in the day. He was a big guy with Bloomsburg and the left in my because he took their government contract loans and grants and used that money to fund his disastrous projects and protect his personal investment capital. Trump and his operations were one of the reason I opposed democrat spending back in the nineties. Also he used the corrupt traps of welfare and public assistance to reap taxpayer money meant to help the poor. The real reason programs to help the poor failed was they were often pillaged by raiders in his circles before any benefit got to the poor. NY conservatives were right to hate him and his corrupt democrat waste.

    He never changed which is why I never got what the republicans were doing embracing him. Now he is working towards exploiting and draining the red state whites for the rich. Trump was all chummy with Al Sharpton and some really horrible corrupt dems. I ways thought the reason he ran was he was a Clinton minion. I really thought he was her insurance for the presidency because he was going to throw the election for her. I am actually thinking that may be something Mueller is establishing which is why trump is freaking. I think he was caught up in a con to fill his pockets with GOP money and get some Russian investment and he got stuck having to be president because it was his only protection from the fraud he perpetrated. I am wondering if that bombshell will come with his impeachment when they think they can overcome the dems by linking trump to them and Russia. But that is all speculation.

    At the very least he was always a northern democrat and not a southern white.

    I'm sure Trump as a business man in new York would love the Clintons. He knows he can pay them off for favors . I'm pretty sure everyone knows that , especially Vlad.

    What resources are many of these nations lacking? No Central American county is short on resources. They have a good climate, generous soil conditions, access to two oceans and neatly situated between two continents. The difference is culture, and you can see this difference throughout all of Latin America.
    It's hard not to see foreigners on a daily basis anywhere in the US. The poorly informed are becoming ever more aggressive with their hyperbole.

    It goes further than that. Those are the people he hangs out with. He is not hanging out on a southern farm. He does not drive around a big old pickup truck. He hangs around at the country club when he can, but they know who trump is. Real money doesn't hang out with trump because he is a loser. The smart ones do not invest in his schemes. He got some land deals because he knew how to work the new York real estate system. It probably came from the reality the trump family wealth came from being a buffer between money and organised crime. He is a money launderer. He is a fall guy who never got used up. They kept him around because if they never needed to dump someone he was crass and annoying and had his finger in with all the criminal family owned construction fronts.

    I imagine he did some of his jobs well. They kept him around despite him losing a lot of money. He has been caught in a number of shady deals. Everyone from my knows this. Trump is not clean. If Mueller is looking into him he is going to find something. He may have gone too far this time and it really would not surprise me to find him and his kids pop up dead at some point. The people who he is fooling around with do not like a lot of government investigation.
