Why do people complain about Trump calling countries s**t-holes?

It's like calling people fat. Nothing wrong with honesty.

It’s sort like if I went to your house and called your mom a fat ass. Even if it’s true common sense states you don’t go around insulting anyone’s mom..

@Notmesam Except shitty countries are not America’s mom.
maybe the world is in the state its in because we preferred to say nothing in case it upset someone . when things were obviously not right..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout What good did it do? Did it fix anything? Did he make those countries all better by saying that? Of course not. All he did was offend people. Maybe you think that in itself is worth doing, but practicality would have been better served by just not saying anything. Yeah, some countries aren't great places to live, does saying that help anything?
@InvaderNice No but people do care about the countries they come from just like you care about your fat mom.

@Notmesam Can’t make everyone happy all the time, especially if you’re a conservative because everything you say is interpreted as harshly as possible.
trump was talking about the country. and the state 100 years of coruption and mismanagement.. liberals twisted it into a personal attack on the people..

as usual. dodge harsh reality water it down twist it up. until no one talks about it at all..
@InvaderNice It’s not about making everyone happy. It’s about having common sense. Like the common sense to know that people from well off countries aren’t clamouring to leave because they’re rich. Unlike people who live in shitholes..

@Notmesam Common sense says that if a country is a shithole, then it should be called a shithole.

@InvaderNice Common sense says that I should call your Mom fat and ugly.
InvaderNice · 26-30, M
@Karlbodge Okay you can do that but you still haven’t proven your point.

If my mom oppressed women, left citizens in poverty for her riches, etc. etc. like shithole countries do, then my mom would be a shithole. But she doesn’t do those things which is why Kekobaka’s OP doesn’t work.

@InvaderNice If my Mom invaded other countries and squeezed them with tariffs and economic sanctions. If she paid for proxy armies and assassins to topple Governments... yeah she would be a shothole.

@Karlbodge The countries being invaded are countries that oppress women, leave people in poverty for the sake of their riches, manipulate citizens, and all that. They’re shitholes.

@InvaderNice Is America a shit hole?
InvaderNice · 26-30, M
@Karlbodge No because the US doesn’t do any of that.
