Alas, when snowflakes melt. It's a sad thing to witness.It's not just Haitians. Donald Trump as president speaks for the nation and is telling the world by word and deed, the inscription on the Statue of Liberty is just a lot of nonsense.How much does your world change if some Haitians are upset. Do you think they'll go somewhere else now?Of course it's ignorant. Profanity is used by the uneducated because they lack language skills to properly express themselves. For the president to use such language causes public relations problems with those he insults as well those he doesn't. His staff has to spend time trying to cover for him. He is now tweeting and claiming he never said it. The issue has become so toxic with congressmen, that they are setting aside his immigration legislation and are taking up extending the deadline for the government shutdown. It's just another stupid blunder from a president that doesn't know what he's doing.You realize you just listed a bunch of reasons why Haiti is a shithole, then said it was ignorant to call it a shithole.I guess you'd say, a long series of unfortunate invents beginning with their freedom from France and debt that bankrupted the nation followed by years of political upheaval, domination by foreign powers, 3 times the US invaded Haiti, years of revolution, brutal dictatorships, inept governments, and more than it's share of natural disasters.Over 95% voting in the poll agree Haiti is a shit hole. My church sends people there once....sometimes twice a year on mission trips to help an orphanage. Most people in Haiti do well to eat one small bowl of rice each day.
I have to wonder what is preventing development from happening in this country. It seems like the island is in a great location to develop a tourism industry.

Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free,

Send these, the homeless, tempest tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door"
