Trump decries immigrants from '****hole countries' coming to US

The UN human rights spokesman, Rupert Colville, told a Geneva news briefing: “There is no other word one can use but racist. You cannot dismiss entire countries and continents as ‘****holes’, whose entire populations, who are not white, are therefore not welcome.”

Mexico’s former president, Vicente Fox, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump, said in a colourful tweet that “America’s greatness was built on diversity”.

He added Trump’s mouth was “the foulest ****hole in the world.

With what authority do you announce who is welcome in America and who is not? America’s greatness is based on diversity, or have you forgotten your migration background, Donald?”

Foreign leaders also weighed in, with some calling the president's words "racist."

“The government of Botswana is wondering why President Trump must use this descriptor and derogatory word, when talking about countries with whom the U.S. has had cordial and mutually beneficial bilateral relations for so many years,” Botswana said.

The Haitian government said in a statement that Trump’s remarks reflect a “racist view of the Haitian community” and that “these insulting and reprehensible statements in no way reflect the virtues of wisdom, restraint and discernment that must be cultivated by any high political authority.”

“Given the historical reality of how many Africans arrived in the United States as slaves, this statement flies in the face of all accepted behavior and practice,” African Union spokeswoman Ebba Kalondo told The Associated Press.

As far as being crude, how come none of the liberals got upset when Crazy Joe Biden said "this is a big f''king deal"? You all thought that was funny.

a President that has a fake pleasant personality and bows to our enemies, weakens our country. and hurts our citizens with poor policies.

That sounds like a Kenyan I know...

We have many fine Americans who have come from the countries trump chooses to bad mouth. No one can choose the country of their birth.

There is nothing delusional about the tax savings to the middle class, the corporate tax cuts that have resulted in lower unemployment and higher wages, the 860 unnecessary job killing regulations that have disappeared the past year, the meeting between the North and South Koreans which only occurred due to Trumps actions (according to the South Koreans), and the new supreme court justice and other federal judges nominated by Trump that rule based upon law and not upon political beliefs. The left has no way to beat this kind of record so the only option the have is attack Trump character.


Again, RESULTS MATTER.

I do not blame him, somebody needs to stop it, it is the one thing that can not be fixed in my life time that has destroyed this country,

drugs, taxes, dirty politics, healthcare, education, all these things can be fixed fairly easy, the one thing that has changed the face of America that will be very hard and very expensive that has did the most damage is these people pouring into this country from our south,

leave out the "crass, rude and crude " part. .A good president doesn't need or want to speak crap.

I would rather have a "crass, crude, and rude" President that implements policies that are favorable to and improves the lives of Americans and provides a strong country that doesn't back down to dictators like Kim Jong-Un than have a President that has a fake pleasant personality and bows to our enemies, weakens our country. and hurts our citizens with poor policies.


In this world results matter.
