Interesting that the Trumpanzees have turned the debate into whether Countries are Shitholes or not. Well from our perspective, perhaps they could be termed that way. That's cultural relativism. And many would rather not have their "shitholes" encroached by Western capitalism, gadgets and values. For instance, the uncontacted tribes in the Amazon didn't appreciate foresters coming in and cutting down their homeland forest.

>> I'm saying the POTUS should never call ANY country one. He was speaking to a group of five other people, and I'm quite sure he was expressing his view assuming he was speaking in confidence where saying what he thinks is a product of trust. He'll probably protect himself from national enemies in the future.
