I just came to share my non-popular opinion that 3rd countries are hard to live in. I abandoned mine (Venezuela) and came US and my quality of life increased like 1000x.
Though, calling them "shitholes" is not what you expect from elected officials.

It never happened.
The Democrat that leaked it has admitted he made it up.

Sen. Dick Durbin Just Revealed Why He Lied About Trump Saying ‘S***hole’
^That's not an admission that he lied about Trump's remark. It's not even close to it, IMHO. I'm not saying Trump did say it, but I am saying that Durbin didn't admit that he made it up.

Humanwasteland is a map of human excrement in SF. How does that Frank Zappa song go?...Watch out where those homeless go... San Francisco's a big shithole...
Looks like a giant turd from the Embarcadero all the way to Bernal Heights.

Bums used to be embraced by the SF community. Now the business owners want them out. Customers can't get through the doorways without trying to step over bums and human waste.

Tomi Lahren (whom I've slept with) is getting backlash on twitter (not that I've ever twitted or know how to) for defending Trump.
She says that the left is sooo upset with an alleged reference to shithole countries when the left has been jumping up and down calling America a shithole, for months.

So, you all are totally okay with a President who wants the immigration laws changed so as to specifically exclude or limit the number of people allowed to immigrate from certain countries? That's cool, you be you. Even if "you" are a keyboard warrior who has never travelled to any of the countries the President is so quick to dismiss.
History time! Over the last 200-odd years, immigrants from Germany, Ireland, China, and probably a half-dozen other countries have also been the target of immigration discrimination, reaching at least as far back as Thomas Jefferson. Is the Republic somehow still standing? Yup.
Oh, and about that travelling thing. I spent two years in Yaounde, Cameroon in the late 1990's, and I've been blessed to be able to travel to Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, and Haiti. Last I checked, those aren't countries that the current placeholder behind the Resolute Desk has ever visited. Add that lack of life experience to a lack of understanding of the reasons that people from these "sh*thole" countries wish to immigrate, and you end up with a spray-tanned makeup-wearing "man" asking "Why can't we have more immigrants from places like Norway?".
The response from every single Norwegian as to that last question, "Den rævhøl?".

[yawn]
Heaven forbid Trump extend a compliment to the Norwegians.
And I guess you missed Senator Paul's account of Trump's funding for Paul's medical missions to Haiti?
I'm certain your Africa sightseeing trip makes you eminently qualified and a shoe-in for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
