At Least Trump Doesn't Think Americans Are $h!tholes — Like Obama And Hillary Do

The reactionary slop that hit the fan over President Trump's comments about the conditions in Haiti, El Salvador and reportedly some other nations just won't stop. But lost in all the for-the-TV-cameras outrage is what former President Obama and wanna-be-president-so-bad Hillary Clinton think of some Americans and where they live. They believe the sh!tholes are in America and consider the people who live in them to be sh!tholes themselves.

Before we get too far, let's concede that whatever language Trump used, he is largely correct, even if he was vulgar in his description — a charge he denies, by the way. Millions in miserable countries want to immigrate to the U.S. where life is far better. They want to escape the lousy and intolerable conditions. It's human nature.

Let's allow Reason's Nick Gillespie explain it with a little more color.

No Hidden Agenda: Get News From A Pro-Free Market, Pro-Growth Perspective
"Most immigrants who come to America do indeed come from places they'd rather not live or work. . . . Whether their homelands are technically shitholes or something less offensive to contemporary ears isn't really a question. People come here because they think it's going to be better than where they're from."

Now back to the disrespectful Obama and Hillary Clinton comments that neither the media, nor the shrieking Democrats, nor the childish celebrity class made much over when they were said. Of course that's because they were said by the darlings of those groups, the objects of their adolescent adoration.

First, we have the comments Obama made in 2008 about demoralized middle Americans while at a campaign fundraiser in, of course, San Francisco.

"It's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

The Hoover Institution's Victor Davis Hanson was nearly perfect in his assessment of the comments when he said that Obama was seeking "to reinvent the country into two groups," one of them "the 'lazy' Americans who in times of economic stress 'typically' revealed their innate ignorance through racism and nativism."

The reaction, or lack of reaction, from the media, Democrats and celebrities was similar to the silence that followed when at a 2016 fundraiser, near-president Hillary called half of Trump's supporters a "basket of deplorables." A day later she said she regretted using the word "half" — did she mean to use "all"? — but everyone knew who she was talking about and exactly what she meant. In her mind, at least half of Trump's supporters were lowbrow crackers living in fetid places.

The insults of both were directed toward a group that can be ridiculed with impunity in today's culture. Obama, Clinton and others seem to forget that they are Americans. They are though, and they deserve more respect than to be thought of as s*!tholes.        https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/at-least-trump-doesnt-think-americans-are-htholes-like-obama-and-hillary-do/

They will see things have improved dramatically from the previous eight years.

No they won't.

a temporary little bone thrown to the middle class...??? when Trump claimed the tax cut  was FOR the middle class . 99% of people get scrawny scraps scraped from the shit off corporations shoes, while Big Corporations get Trillions that don't expire, and the little guy gets a paltry appeaser teaser, as it is TOTALLY geared to benefit the provider, any weigh I way this, average people LOSE

Let's see any numbers you have which fatualize your idiotic claim that 211 million people think Trump was a mistake

if you wish to parse my words, have at it

but

recent polls show that 60+ % of peoples polled believe Trump is wrong for US All and then look at our around the world image, plummeting 40% points from the Obama America

You can hide from reality via Fox and 'right' leaning news, but reality still exists out there outside that bubble  

were you upset with billy Clinton getting a BJ?   How do you feel about Donny Boy paying $130 g's for a pornstar ?

doesn't sound to me like the liar in chief proclaimed super deal maker got such a swell deal, even if the swelling went down, like possibly a porn star shining bright, while Trump supporters

not so much,

Really! You have a poll that shows 66% of America would vote for Hillary Clinton today? Because that was the choice in November 2016.

Naw, only about 25% of the U.S. population is so self-absorbed, greedy yet self-destructive and shall we say in the mid-double digits of intelligence to rate as "deplorables." Most but not all have received advanced faith/obedience training at some point in their lives and some joined because hate (and fear) are strangely unifying. And makes you popular, too.

The other 10% are somewhat unstable people who are along for the ride and are sorta amused and feel braver and daring in a group and wanna be part of something.

A bagillion years or so the planet was a relatively pristine place, then we arrived and turned it into a shithole. People create their own messes, even animals have enough smarts not to soil their living areas.

The issue is not whether or not such places exist, the issue is that if you do not live there it is not up to you to decide whether or not the term shithole applies, after all we have our own shitholes but they are our shitholes and no one elses.

We have to face the fact that the deplorables, the 1/3 or so of Americans who have pledged fealty to Trump , have to be defeated just as much as he does. 

Fortunately the good guys have the numbers , all we need to do is go out and vote in November and we will be on the way to beginning to put this long national nightmare behind us.

Cal exit is an urban progressive effort to break California apart from The United States of America.  They are the ones with Russian influence.  New California is an attempt to create a 51st American state or 50th if Cal exit happens.

Conservative Republicans and Trump specifically enjoy being Putin cock holsters. They love it when he plays rough cowboy with them and would do anything for Putin's aid in future elections.

This from the ideology that defended Russia nonstop from 1917 to 1991 and thinks the wrong country won the Cold War.

Utter BS. I've never been a fan of the Russians and Democrats in general do not defend their government. I think their people have been screwed over again and again and are now, once again being denied freedom of speech and true democracy. I thought there was a chance for change when the iron curtain fell, but obviously with the regime Putin built they have gone back to cold war tactics and should be treated like the enemy of western democracy they are. Sadly, the more authoritarian they become, the more Republicans admire them.

Obama mocked Romney for saying Russia continues to be a big threat to us and he told Russian leaders that he’d have more flexibility in dealing with them after the election of 2012.
