The POTUS

That's not really a relevant difference, but let me re-phrase it for you: call peoples' country a sh*thole and you can't complain if you get called a sh*thole back, can you?

Its a very relevant difference. Folks (like you) who don't see the difference (or don't want to) are calling the comment racist. It's not racist to call a country a shithole - it might even be accurate.

That you accept the media's version of Trump hook, line and sinker. Don't even question
God that is such a boring old trope of an argument. "I am rational and independent of thought - you are brainwashed and unthinking." Is that all you've got? Get over yourself.

If the shoe fits... You spout nothing but crap spewed by the media... my statement stands.

Point me to where I called that comment racist. Otherwise stfu putting words in my mouth.

I wrote folks (like you) who don't see the difference... ...because you seemingly didn't see the difference between calling a person a shithole and calling a country a shithole. Sheesh!
It makes no odds though - call someone's country a sh*thole and you are likely to be called a sh*thole yourself, and can hardly complain about it. That's all I was saying. Besides, the difference is moot - a country is made up of its people. When Trump used that word he wasn't referring to the landscape.

Yeah but such things don't come from nothing. Call people sh*tholes and you can't complain about being called shit yourself, can you?
He never called anyone a shithole. He called Haiti a shithole which it is. And if you went there I'm sure you'd say the same. Point still stands - how can you say Trump has dragged it low when it's the Left doing that.

True - the damage was started in the Nixon era, really, but even in GB's case, although he was taken the mick out of (rather unkindly, it must be said - it's never nice to mock someone for a speech impediment) it was a) never with as much malice as Trump attracts - no-ne ever depicted him as pile of shit - and b) the office (as opposed to the person) of POTUS wasn't demeaned as much as it is now. Trump has managed to drag things to a new low.
He didnt have a speech impediment, he used to say stupid things.

Probably still does, just not being in the public eye we dont get to hear about them. :)
