Imagine making this bargain and sleeping at night: Defend pussy-grabbing, period and facelift insults, some “fine” neo-nazis, an accused child molester, fake conspiracy theories, and calling black/brown countries shitholes...for TV air time.
The debasement of the office of the President of the United States of America is a tragedy. Trump has stained our national honor with his overt and unabashed racism. The people defending him on TV look like fools
Hey @realDonaldTrump—El Salvador, Haiti and African countries aren't shitholes.
Both my parents came to America from West Africa when they were teenagers with $50 in their pockets, seeking a better life for themselves and their children.
You know what that makes them? American.
Trump's guide to diversity
Africa: Array of shithole countries
Haitians: Have AIDS
Nigerians: Live in huts
Puerto Ricans: Lazy
Black Americans: Ingrates
Mexicans: Criminals and rapists
Muslims: Evil terrorists
Women: Treat them like shit
White supremacists: VERY FINE PEOPLE
I’ve traveled and worked in Haiti, and across Africa and Central America. The countries the president described with his epithet do not exist. Some thoughts as we remember those lost in Haiti eight years ago today: https://t.co/iXJwEAo2f6
There is a gap between those who think Trump is fit for office, in mind and character, and those who do not. This gap will never be bridged, I'm afraid. The two sides can barely talk to each other. Each is unfathomable to the other.
"Let me be clear tonight. The people of Haiti have been through more... withstood more -- they've fought back against more injustice than our President ever has." Anderson Cooper choked back tears as he reflected on the devastating quake nearly 8 years ago https://t.co/vWct43cz7g
43% of immigrants from “shithole” African countries have a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 33% of the overall American population.
“Nigerian-Americans, for instance, have a median household income well above the American average.”

Honestly, I could maybe muster up a teenie bit of respect for Trump sycophants, if they said, “Yes. He’s a damn gross racist. But he’s my damn gross racist”. Instead of trying to twist themselves into a pretzel pretending Trump is not a racist who says and does racist things.
NORWAY
Happiest country #1 (US #14)
Most gender equality #2 (US #49) damn you, Iceland
Most political freedom #1 (US #45)
Most press freedom #1 (US #43)
Most prosperous #1 (US #18)
People there must be clamoring to come to America.
Hey Tomi, Washington Post shithole bureau chief here. Love your foreign affairs reporting. Did you know there are 8.7 million Americans living overseas? Can’t imagine why they would leave home. https://t.co/Vazd6Ts3Pe
More lies, @realDonaldTrump. You’re a coward and a weakling, too terrified to face protestors there or here. And you should be. We will remove you, and put you and your Shithole Family in the prison you deserve.
And BUSH made the embassy change, not Obama https://t.co/gi6Nhh7QPU
