The idea that softening the terminology some how makes these foreigners lives in their shithole nations better is so ******* elitist first-world I cannot even fathom how anyone could be so stupid as to believe it.
The foreigners didn't get offended because of the words used, they got offended because they know it's true, and they know they've done nothing to try to make things better for their people. No doubt they thought they were going to be required to do something about it rather than look like shithole leaders to the world, but then the MSM let them off of that "embarrassment" because of their one party agenda to get rid of Trump.
Its rather sad, for those shitholes I mean, it won't affect anything here but expose what simpering idiots the left really are.
No, foreigners and American are offend by the language. The language is offensive and mean-spirited and serves no useful purpose. Everyone knows the situation in Haiti is bad and has been for years. Trump's remarks make it more difficult for congress to pass his immigration agenda and makes it more difficult for Americans in third world countries. The fact is words do matter, particularly when they are coming from the president.
Being "offended" by words is a matter of "personal opinion" and in American we not only respect different "personal opinions" but also freedom of speech, especially in private.
IF folks on the left were /actually/ concerned by "global opinion" then their asshat would not have run to the media with the "tough language" spoken in a private, closed door meeting, in order to "embarrass" America and risk "offending" the world.
Frankly, personally, I don't give a shit what the rest of the world thinks of it. These nations are shitholes, I have no problem, nor am I offended, that President Trump used that language in a private meeting - hell I'd be okay with it if he said it to them; maybe they'd fix their shit.
As far as "consequences" oh well, these "offended nations" are more than welcome to "boycott America" - hell if they did I bet we could balance our budget...
