    I find the hypocrisy of all the people upset about this to be overbearing because EVERY SINGLE PERSON that has pretended to be upset about Trumps refering to Haiti as a shithole has on multiple occasion denigrated particular states such as Alabama. The difference between an honest person such as myself and a lying turd such as posters on this subject is that they don't see their blatant hypocrisy.

    There are parts of this world and even parts of this country that just plain suck and are awful places by any conceivable standard.

    The Republicans didn't run a shithole candidate. Explain what you did, for the class. Here's some chalk and a blackboard. Please commence.

    Depends on how you measure happiness

    Yes it certainly does. How do you measure happiness in a shithole country? I'm happy because I got something to eat today? I'm happy because my friends had their arms chopped off but I didn't?
    Here its more like, I'm happy because I have a lot of "friends" on social media, or , I'm happy because nobody "offended" me today.

    So that makes it okay to deny her humanity by telling her to go clean?

    That's what she gets for pretending to be not sikh.

    How about simply that the sun is shining and the beach is inviting

    Haiti has been hit by a series of horrific natural disasters roughly one per year

    That makes it difficult foe the people living there to nation build

    you were given the opportunity and you took advantage of it, good for you, I was in the same boat
    I wish everyone had such opportunities, I see no reason to put down the less fortunate for not being as fortunate

    If there are no shitholes in Africa(!) then I guess this African envoy has a valid reason to complain.

    Exactly as expressed in the OP..... Nobody in this administration is capable of offering an apology for anything, which is part of their general failures as politicians AND human beings... Which is one of the primary reasons I generally vote Democrat, being a moderate Independent. I do NOT trust people who cannot admit they make mistakes...

    It's actually not her job to apologize for Trumpy the Clown... she wasn't there and cannot confirm, but even if she were, she wasn't the one with the classy description... I imagine that she did the best she could to try to defuse the situation, so minor kudos there...

    The next UN vote with the US on the opposite side of the world ought to be pretty interesting...

    I'd love for you to explain to an African ambassador in the UN that his country is a nice shithole... Best of luck with that strategy...

    I fail to see the problem. Agreed that people need to read the source.

    Haley was being diplomatic but didn't apologize nor claim Trump was wrong. Regretting the situation is not the same as regretting the statement.

    "Ambassador Anatolio Ndong Mba of Equatorial Guinea, who chairs the Africa Group, said the US ambassador did not offer an apology during the closed-door meeting, but she did express regret.

    Haley told the meeting that "she was not there at the White House, she is not sure what was said, but she regretted all this situation that has been created," the ambassador said.

    The US mission declined to say whether Haley had addressed the furor over Trump's remarks allegedly made a week ago at a White House meeting with lawmakers on immigration reform.

    Ndong Mba said the Africa Group "made a recommendation" to Haley to defuse tensions, which she promised to pass on to Trump."

    Exactly. They either fail to read, fail to comprehend, or know and just lie.

    The poorly educated are the only ones who take Lying Donnie seriously, which is why Lying Donnie loves them so much.

    No, the poorly educated and just poor are the primary voting bloc for democrats, which is why they need illegal immigration so badly to stay relevant.

    Telling the truth shouldn't require an apology.

    That's true, especially since they were never any good at nation building to begin with.

    Poorly educated means not indoctrinated by Marxist professors.

    That is funny, Commie Donnie is a supply-side socialist and Marx is one of the fathers of supply-side socialism.
