    CNN World reacts to Trump's 'shithole countries' remarks

    US President Donald Trump's complaints about immigrants coming to the US from "****hole countries" prompted condemnation from around the world.

    In the US, Democrat and Republican lawmakers criticized Trump's comments as "divisive" and "unacceptable," while Haiti, one of the countries explicitly named by Trump, summoned the top US diplomat to discuss the President's remarks.

    We're hitting bottom with this fake "christian" president. It's pretty bad when you have to blot out profanity from an announcement of our "president" to the world.

    Why don't we drop the fake outrage and answer the question?

    I wish our President would simply learn some tact. Many of us need to learn the concept that, just because we may think it, we do not necessarily need to say it.

    Proverbs 29:11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

    I'm not saying that our President is a fool, just that saying things that are ill-advised and that will have an immediate public backlash is foolish.

    Wal Mart is going to give 1 million employees a bonus! They're raising their internal minimum wage by $1 an hour! The stock market hit a new record! Unemployment is at an 11 year low! Fiat-Chrysler Automotive is moving 5,000 jobs from Mexico back to the USA!

    Trump: "Why do we want all these people from 's***hole countries' coming here?"

    Once again the "stable genius" sabotages great press coverage of his achievements on the economic agenda.

    Oops. Looks like Trump actually didn't say that. ITL gets duped by the media once again. Will he ever learn?

    Pastor Bob, shouldn't you wait to see if the story is actually true? Isn't spreading false media stories a form of slander? Just say'n.

    TRUMP DENIES SAYING ‘****HOLE COUNTRIES’…

    It wouldn't matter - our former Speaker of the House Pelosi in reference to achievements: "It's so pathetic".
    Nancy Pelosi says companies' bonuses to workers because of the tax bill are 'crumbs'

    Absolutely. I am in no way giving any credence to this specific story. I have learned long ago not to trust the mainstream media to have any degree of accuracy. My statement was a general statement about our President. An opinion I had of him when he first began to campaign for the office.

    But your statement was in response to a fake story, on a thread about this fake story.

    Regardless, I don't think it's a great crime you believed the story. Wouldn't be the first time Trump's used salty language, but I'm a bit concerned how often these false stories come out and elicit rebukes.

    What I would like to see people do is just wait and withhold reactions. All media stories in this day and age should be considered false until prove true.

    I have three good friends who are all in mid to late 50’s...all are Haitians. They are the most hard working, Christian gentlemen I know. For them to be disparaged like that is disheartening

    Who disparaged them?

    Prager was talking bout this today. Admitting Haitians come from a dysfunctional cruel country is not a knock on Haitians. It's just being honest, in fact, those who don't admit Haiti is dysfunctional are actually showing disrespect for Haitians.

    You still haven't responded to Trump's denial of the comment. Is that just an inconvenient fact?

    All three come from very stable homes and one is a lawyer. Each day that I met with them they never failed to speak kindly to me, ask after my wife who was very sick and tell me to pray to Jesus and they had their church and family praying for us and for her particularly.

    Well, if we list out the good things that he has done for the nation, such as pro life judges and supporting Christian religion, and supporting getting economy rolling again, guess just have to learn to deal with him mis speaking time or two.
    Were you outraged when president Obama cut dowen "red necks and gun owners and flag wavers?"
    Or when he advocated and passed thru big time abortion and homosexual/transgenering laws?

    I could always have posted anything here that Obama said. You are blinded by your heretical political/religious beliefs.
