to be fair, he may have intended to impart that in his opinion, you "resorted" to the comment you made. that is a SWAG on my part.

IMHO there is a metameaning in there, in that hypocrites tend to apportion for themselves more than their share, like hippos taking up all the room. :idea:

Still it does seem like there are those who flip out over virtually anything Trump says or does, up to him just sipping from a water bottle.

That's why it and them aren't taken seriously. There's a saying "pick your battles" but everything and anything becomes a battle. Everything becomes a drama and therefore those dispensing the drama just come off as drama queens.

If people flip out over everything Trump says or does, it's because what he says or does is either hateful or crazy.

Addionally, there is a big difference between flipping out and laughing.

I honestly don't think that Trump's "s**thole" comments are a big deal. I already know he was a racist. That's not new to me. I'm really just amused by his utter lack of tact.

I know people who have no issue with the s**t hole comment. Let's face it Haiti, and huge chunks of Africa are hardly paradise due to the mismanagement by their own governments.

Don the Con is an opportunist. If Haiti had the economy of Norway, same standard of living, and education level, Don's cheeto-ey ass would be all over Haiti. He wouldn't give a crap If the people were purple. There is money to be made.

Same goes for Saudis. Yeah, they're Muslim, and not blonde hair and blue eyes, but boy their wallets make up for all of that.

I'm not blown away by lack of tact. He's a 70 something non politician businessman, who is used to people kissing his wealthy behind. Don the Con is used to talking s**t, and people nodding. Nowhere in his life has he really had to bend, and think before he runs his mouth.

Becoming President doesn't give you a brain transplant.

I guess I'm more surprised by people who are pearl clutching shocked when nonsense tumbles put of Trump's mouth.

The fact is that the best thing that ever happened to sub-Saharan Africa was European colonialism. True, the were known to be hard on the natives but they brought structure, industry, and civilization to the continent. Now that most of that's gone things are as bad or worse than ever and they cannot even come close to staying abreast of the modern world.
So, yes, they are s**thole countries, but in order to be PC we have to put on the rose colored glasses and pretend otherwise.

I haven't read this whole thread----I just wanted to add my two cents....

Exactly!!

Also, U.S. presidents have ALL used language like this (if that's what anybody's upset about)----from the Libs' / MSM's precious President Obama, on back----it's just that President Trump isn't MSM's favorite, cuz they're still boo-hooin' about losin' the election!!

IMO, I think it's quite possible that because the president is a self-proclaimed germaphobe, his first thought was that they'd be bringin' disease over here----and, I'd bet almost anything, that the reason he used Norway, was because Norway was on his mind, cuz he had just met with some big muckety-muck, from over there. It could be just as simple as that----but, NOOOOOO, people have to play the race card, and be a victim!!
