We all no how factual Trump's tweets are.

So did Jake Tapper. We all know how factual Washington Post "anonymous sources" are.

Not quote:

"CNN's Jake Tapper has reported that Trump did not specifically use the word "shithole" with regard to Haiti but rather with regard to countries in Africa. "

So, he only insulted 54 counties instead of 55... That makes it so much better.

I'm not sure Isolationist Gary has ever bothered to talk to someone whose first language isn't English. Banning/deporting people from entire countries sounds a bit...fascist, doesn't it? We wouldn't want that, now would we?

There is a reason people value diversity. It is because most of us don't live under a rock and realize that people from other countries/cultures are no less human than we are simply because of where they were born, and bring unique perspectives to the table.

In before Gary says: "SO LET'S GIVE VISAS TO ALL OF ISIS THEN HURRRDURRR." So bloody predictable.

So you want to import hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people from failed States with high crime, corruption, little regard for the rule of law, low education ... and the benefit to the US citizens living here is "they bring their unique perspectives to the table".

We don't need the perspective of people who come from cultures which are incompatible with ours. They have nothing to offer us. They need an injection of our culture into theirs to bring them up from third world status. THEY are the one's who need a new perspective.

Ironic that Trump often says that someone can't criticize him if they've never met him yet he can call every country in Africa a "shiithole" despite never visiting the vast majority of them. Racism comes in many forms and many levels...his is the very worst. What a freakin' loser that guy is. He likes to believe that he is the best at everything, but, because of his failed presidency, he will be looked at as perhaps the biggest loser ever.

How can they get a new perspective? I suppose we could send some Americans over there. Or maybe we could admit a small number of them, say, 50,000 or so, and help them learn about American culture first-hand.

Wow. I used to just think you were just a right-wing nut. Now I know more, and it is ugly, brother. I am CERTAIN that there are people meeting in basements that look like you and have your same views. I suggest you keep your racist comments in those basements.

The people leaving countries with lots of problems are looking for a better life. They are not looking to take criminal behavior from there to here, and that is not what they do.

You are defending the most racist President in modern history. You are on the wrong side of this. I am glad I do not know what it is to hate so deeply. I hope you find some peace some day.

"America Über Alles"

Your opinions are disgusting and un-American.

The US a great country because we are an amalgam of cultures.

Exactly right. If not for the food alone! I just had lunch at my favorite Greek restaurant, and the owner there and most of the workers are Greek. I'm sure that's ok with DG though since they LOOK mostly white.

I'll have to take my wife to an African (Moroccan, perhaps) restaurant this weekend to celebrate the culture/diversity that Africans bring to this country. I'm sure the DG and Trump will not approve, but that's the point.

Unless he has posted something new, Tapper is reporting that a source said Trump DID say that about people coming from Africa, but did NOT say it with regard to Haiti.

Which is what the Trump tweet appears to say. Just pointing out that it was accurate.

Nope. Completely wrong! The US is a great country because OUR culture respects the rule of law, protects individual's rights, religious freedom, freedom of speech and of the press, and embraces capitalism over socialism. We become greater when people come from other countries and leave their old culture behind and embrace ours. Diversity of food choices is good. Diversity of cultures is a recipe for distrust and violence. The idea that multiculturalism is good is one of the many Big Lies told to us by liberals.

What would you say to me if I took my American culture to Somalia and expected the to embrace it? You'd call me an "ugly American". So there you go. You don't believe in multiculturalism.

In the past we imported large numbers of people, and then stopped to give them a chance to become "Americanized". There was no legal immigration to the US between 1924 and 1965. It's time for another big pause to get our culture back on track.

All this outrage over judging other cultures as failures is proven to be rank hypocrisy by all the people who are quick to insult American culture. If our culture is so horrible and racist then any attempt to bring a minority here from another country would be cruel. Why do that to them?

But please, let the rage flow. Keep the fire burning. Keep insulting American citizens. This is why you lost.

I think there is something we--and Trump--can learn from his statements. Whether he was referring to Haiti or Africa it does not matter--both places are model examples for the GOPs wet dream in regards to a Healthcare system--a "true free market" with no government regulation. In contrast, the country the president praised--Norway--has a government run, universal system. Perhaps this plays in to the desire for one group (the ones from the "$hithole" countries) to want to come here and the other not? Obviously there are other differences between the "$hithole" countries and Norway.

We could also look into these countries (Norway vs. "$hithole" countries) in regards to their attitudes towards government funding of education, attitudes towards those that are "different" (i.e. gays, foreigners, religious minorities), climate change policies, tax policies, and the role that religion plays in government and legislation.

My main question for Mr. Trump would be why he pursues legislation and policies that would make the USA more like the countries he considers "$hitholes" and less like Norway? Maybe he just wants to make the USA a "$hithole" so people from other "$hithole" countries no longer want to come here? If so, I think everything he is doing and saying makes total sense but he needs to change his slogan from M.A.G.A to M.A.A.S. (make America a "$hithole").

You know it was created to increase the number of European immigrants, right? Yeah, let's eliminate it and double the number of work visas.

I agree, glad we're on the same page. Thank you for recognizing that my (and Trump's) position is not racist.

Goooood. Keep it up. Trump asks a common sense question and you guys throw Americans into the Basket of Irredeemable Deplorables.

I try to explain things to you and this is the great mystery for me: I know you are not stupid, but you show no signs of understanding the obvious. I suppose virtue signalling to avoid being cast into the Basket overrides your desire to get things right. I can understand that. PC rule by terror is effective.

Nice post.

I won't be able to respond to you forever, because you do have vile opinions that I'd really rather not have to even think about to be honest, but you should be judging people based on their individual actions, not their race, skin color, religion, or country of origin. The people I know who are most proud of being Americans are those who immigrated here and then even the children of those people. That should be expected as they CHOSE to move here and live here and become Americans whereas most of us were just born here and are American by birthright.

And, just to be clear, only some Americans are in an basket of deplorables...Trump obviously is, and he some company unfortunately, including you.

Goooood. Keep making the case that immigrants are better citizens than those born here. Yeeeees. Oh that'll work at the ballot box.

This is why you lost!

So true! People from other countries need to learn how to dress like slobs (shorts, sandals and t-shirts everywhere), eat hamburgers and other assorted craps and drink beer until they become overweight slobs, sit on their fat asses all day playing with their smartphones or video game controllers, consume more illegal drugs than the rest of the world combined, and shoot up schools, post offices, casinos, churches, etc. Which country wouldn't benefit from the enlightened perspective Americans have to offer?
