@Soossie He did not call all of them a shithole, some of them are.
Africa the place that gave us the term necklacing .
Necklacing is the practice of summary execution and torture carried out by forcing a rubber tyre, filled with petrol, around a victim's chest and arms, and setting it on fire. The victim may take up to 20 minutes to die, suffering severe burns in the process.
Yes they have shithole countries.

@Loretta78 Yes I am I can't imagine living in a county so devoid of morality, freedoms and so full of corruption.
When I first heard Trump say that my first thought, was OMG I can't believe he said that. But after thinking about it a while I thought, you know despite the coarseness of what he said he does have a point. Take Zimbabwe for example, look what the Europeans who migrated there did, they established a relatively balanced economy, transforming what was once a primary producer dependent on backwoods farming into an industrial food giant and spawned a strong manufacturing sector, iron and steel industries, and modern mining ventures. And they did it without foreign aid.
But look what happened when political control of the country was turned over to majority rule, the country which was once considered the breadbasket of Africa became a net importer of foodstuffs, with the European Union and United States providing emergency food relief as humanitarian aid on a regular basis so they would not starve to death. The nation has suffered profound economic and social decline for the past twenty years.
I don't bring this up to talk about what is fair, who should rule the country but to point out the level of success of the African peoples. They have a very dismal record and a most horrible record on human rights. So I have to ask myself, do I really want to bring these people to my county when I look at what they allow theirs to become. Why would I want to bring people here from a shithole country when there are successful peoples who want to come here.

@Soossie I understand, people like to talk about issues as long as the facts are inline with their beliefs of what is right, but when inconvenient facts surface they turn away because it causes cognitive dissonance.
