WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump demanded on Thursday that the poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty be revised immediately to exclude nations he considered “sh*thole countries.” Speaking to reporters, Trump said that the poem as it currently stands “is basically an open invitation that says, like, if you come from a sh*thole country, welcome aboard.” “I don’t know the entire poem, but it’s something like ‘Give us your tired, your poor, your yadda yadda yadda,’ ” he said. “We could keep all that but then put in, right at the end, in big letters, maybe, ‘except if you’re from a sh*thole country.’ ” “I think if a boat from a sh*thole country came and saw that poem with those words at the end, they would turn around and go right back to wherever they came from,” he said. Shortly after Trump made his remarks about “sh*thole” countries, representatives of the countries he designated as such released a joint response. “We do not understand President Trump’s aversion to so-called ‘sh*thole countries,’ since he is doing his best to turn the United States into one,” the statement read.

Is it the West's fault that some countries are shitholes? Millions are donated to these shitholes, just for their governments to live in luxury whilst their people continue to live in **** conditions.
Actually the answer is often yes We are the ones insisting on ever cheaper products often at the cost of labour. Have you never heard of sweat shops?
When the wealthy countries needed a place for release of their colons, rather than put in indoor plumbing they built **** hole colonies around the globe. What? You never knew why they were called colonies before?
All this needs perspective. This is a man that said the White House is a "dump". To him a place where people don't have solid gold bidets is a **** hole.
"Shithole/*****hole/noun: a type of country colonized, exploited and and plundered by US or European capitalism and imperialism. The populations are typically non- white but there may be exceptions."
