President Trump

[PawDawg]

And when the first word that comes to your mind to describe such places as Haiti and Africa is “shithole”, well it reveals the bigotry of your heart and the shallowness of your soul.

It reveals that he is our president and not the pretend caretaker of the world.

[brtransplant]

Well, Africa is not a country and is not a shithole.

The hard truth is that 90% of the countries in Africa and in the Caribbean are indeed shitholes. You can pretend they're something else if you want to, but that won't change the reality of the situations in most of those countries. And by the way, they're shitholes because of the way the citizenry their live there lives, not because they're black. You're the only racist I've seen posting on this thread.

Africa? When I first saw what Trump tweeted the first countries that popped into my mind were Mexico and south of there. I assumed he was referring to our continuing immigration problems via Mexico and points south. Did he say Africa? I first saw his tweet mentioned on CNBC, and the very libtard reporter never said a word about which country or continent Trump was referring to.

I don't know what Trump thinks of places like Africa (continent) or a place like Haiti (country) but, Haiti is definitely a shithole. And Africa has its share of shithole places too.

If these places were not shitholes, the residents would not be trying so hard to get out of them.

The dems just want some more folks to shove into ghettos and bus to the polls, while telling them the culture that caused the shithole to exist in the first place was equal to the culture that built this country. That way they pretty much guarantee they will still be there in those ghettos for the foreseeable future and living in misery while providing a needed vote to the people that want to keep them in their place.

They are shameless.

43% of the immigrants from Africa have a bachelors degree or higher compared to 33% of Americans.

Which may be Trump’s real beef. College educated voters voted for Clinton, while the uneducated voted for Trump.

“In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This is by far the widest gap in support among college graduates and non-college graduates in exit polls dating back to 1980.” (Pew)

Right. Must have come from the same info gathering machine that had Clinton winning by double digits.

Why should anyone trust those polls? Are they the same pollsters that indicated that Clinton would easily win the election? Probably 90% of the college educated people I know voted for Trump--and no, they're not racists. And your mantra that everyone that voted for Trump is racist or is unintelligent is insulting and getting very old. Of course race is the go-to talking point for Democrats/Liberals on almost any issue even when race is irrelevant. I guarantee you that if Ted Cruz (or any other Republican) had won the Republican nomination Dems would be calling him racist at every turn.

Those are the folks we need.

Found this statistic and think this is where to go to get our immigrants (if true...it's the internet, ya know):

"Within the foreign-born population from Africa, educational attainment varied by place of birth. For example, 64% of Egyptian-born individuals were graduates as were 61% from Nigeria, 57% from South Africa, 47% from Kenya and 35% from Ghana. These were the countries with the highest proportion of Africans with bachelor’s and higher degrees."

We need high earners to support the welfare state we've created.

Problem is that people lie on surveys, which led to people underestimating the percentage of the population that is racist, particularly in the rust belt.

So, you just called the backbone of our country stupid and racists. Meaning those who work manual labor jobs like steel, oilfield, milling, and fabrication are both dumb and racists? Hmm, have you seen the income some of those “uneducated” jobs demand. Seems to me, those folks are pretty smart. And they are of all races and colors.

How can you make that assumption? I believe you are overestimating the percentage of the population that is racist.

It is reflected by Google search data. Here is a clip of the author discussing Google data and Trump.

Great interpretation of statistical data. If these statistics are true (which is a BIG assumption given the reliability of polls lately), saying " College educated voters voted for Clinton, while the uneducated voted for Trump" based on this data is like saying you aced an exam because you got 53% of the answers correct.
