Identifying The Chief Executive Shit Hole

BY NOW it is widely known that President Trump referred to African nations as "shit hole countries". Although he made the comment on camera, on audio, in front of a room full of United states Senators, he later twitter tweeted that although his language was strong and tough, he actually didn't say what he said. So much for cogent presidential situational analysis. his denial, however, would seem to indicate that even the president does not approve of the kind of language he used but didn't use, of calling other countries "shitholes", which givers us some small measure of hope. None of his spokespeople deny his having made the remark, which, most assuredly, they would have, had he in fact not made it. some behavior is incapable of justification, even among sycophants. This, from a president who recently said that he wanted to sign an immigration "bill of love", without quibbling over its precise content. When someone evidently told him exactly what is in the bill, he began quibbling, or rather, twittering. The president also commented on Haiti. his previous promise to be Haiti's "greatest champion" is belied by his witnessed assertion yesterday that immigration from Haiti should be strictly limited, and that the United states would do better to accept immigrants from places like, say, Norway. Left unsaid, but strongly implied, is the difference in skin color between Haitians and Norwegians. Omitted was the fact that Norwegians, who benefit from the prosperity engendered by a healthy economic mix of highly regulated capitalism and socialism, hardly need immigrant to what they likely consider to be a shit hole of a country, with a lower standard of living, and unreasonable leadership. Also unmentioned is that countries like Haiti would doubtless suffer less poverty were they to receive meaningful economic assistance from the United states, instead of being victimized by exploitation and predatory loans. At what point does the behavior of the president of the United states become sufficiently deplorable to warrant removal from office? Every four years, if never sooner, and for that, we should be at least somewhat grateful.
