HOW WOULD YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AFRICA. YOU CAN'T NAME THREE COUNTRIES ON THAT CONTINENT.

A lot of Africa is also a ****hole, agreed?

Again, how is telling the truth a racist comment?

This is the silliest comment from the left I have ever heard. What is wrong with you people?

Media outlets around the world struggle to translate Trump's "sh*thole" comments
President Trump's vulgar insult of Africa was a puzzle for many foreign media organizations, which didn't have a ready translation of his epithet for their readers or listeners.

Their answers ranged from "dirty" to, well, dirtier.

We have dozens of language services at the BBC which today are all discussing the right way to translate into their own language the word 'sh*thole' for their millions of listeners," Paul Danahar, the editor of the BBC's North America bureau, tweeted Friday.

Japan's Kyodo News wire service chose "kusottare," which literally means "dripping with excrement." The country's no-nonsense national broadcaster NHK settled for "filthy," while the Asahi Shimbun newspaper decided that a word meaning "outdoor toilets" conveyed the gist of Trump's term.

Chinese media outlets are tightly controlled and have relatively little latitude when it comes to creative interpretations. The official Xinhua News Agency and other outlets translated the expletive as "fenkeng" �" literally "cesspit."

In Africa, the continent that was the object of Mr. Trump's insult, Tanzania's Mwananchi newspaper translated his comment as "mataifa chafu" �" simply, "dirty countries."

Taifa Leo, a sister Swahili publication to Kenya's leading Daily Nation, chose "nchi za kinyesi," a more or less direct translation that has a gentler word for excrement.

There is a more direct translation for Mr. Trump's term in Swahili, editor Gilbert Mogire said. But, he explained, that would be "unprintable."

The translation difficulty added an additional layer of confusion for international journalists, even as U.S. newsrooms had their own internal debates on how to convey the president's remarks. Some outlets spelled out the insult, while others censored it by varying degrees.

JOHANNESBURG -- The African group of ambassadors to the United Nations has issued an extraordinary statement condemning the "outrageous, racist and xenophobic remarks" by President Donald Trump and demanding a retraction and apology.

Former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power has shared the statement on Twitter, saying: "Whoa. I've never seen a statement like this by African countries directed at the United States."

In Norway, Trump’s comments on immigration rejected as backhanded praise

Bergeson, a former diplomat who worked in Washington, D.C., during the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush presidencies, thinks even for someone known to be unconventional, Trump’s remarks fall flat for Norwegians.

Speaking to NBC News, Bergesen added: “Why are we supposed to be better, because we’re predominantly white? Some of the richest people in the world?”

“He’s not flattering us, he’s not creating a wave of immigration, he’s just confusing us even more,” he said.

“Before we struck oil,” we were a country that Trump would describe as a ****hole. We were a poor country.”

But the perception of the United States as a friendly place is starting to change for young Norwegians. And remarks from Trump aren’t helping.

“I don’t feel privileged at all by being that group of people that Trump assess are special,” he said. “I don’t feel honored.”

I would never live in a country with him as a president, pretty much.

You dumb hypocrite. There's tapes and videos, and witnesses that have shown Hillary Clinton with pure filth coming out of her mouth.
There's thirty years of stories of Hillary's treatment of everyone around her.
And nearly everyone on this site, has used that word dozens of times today, and every day.
Foul mouthed people are every where. I hate what is happening to our culture. People can't talk without filth.
So that word is mild compared to many.

And this is another example of how dumb dems are.

Democrat D*** Durbin says he told President Trump that “chain migration” was hurtful because it reminded black people of slaves in chains.

Can Durbin possibly believe that? The President said to him.. "That's a good line'.
I wonder what Durbin want to do about 'chain smoker', ?

That kind of ignorance just makes you shake your head. And Guam will tip over from too many people.
These are stupid people... people.
And he didn't say 'hole', he said 'houses'.
And all you have to do is look at a few pictures of those places, and once again, Trump is telling it like it really is.

And the question... Why do democrats always want those countries? Because dems need another block of slave voters that need food stamps, welfare, health care, .. and will always vote democrat to keep getting it.

President Donald Trump, using vulgar terms, rejected a pitch Thursday from a bipartisan team of senators on a compromise immigration deal to protect DACA participants while increasing border security.

"Why do we want all these people from '****hole countries' coming here?" Trump told senators in the Oval Office,

That is funny, I think any American Citizen should feel the same dang way ! Why would you? I don't want these iddiots over here dragging on our economy, trying to run things, voting in the wrong people for office, uneducated about everything, can't speak english, and not going to learn anything.
