21 Of The Best Responses To Trump From People From ‘Shithole Countries’
1.1Mviews
U.S. President Donald Trump caused another global controversy last week by allegedly referring to countries such as Haiti and El Salvador, as well as unspecified African nations, as 'shitholes.' The comments, made in a meeting with lawmakers at the White House, were dismissive of potential immigrants from these countries, and have been widely condemned as racist and divisive by the global media.
Now people from these so-called 'shithole countries' have spoken up, highlighting their acheivements and individual worth in a series of tweets that have since gone viral, thanks to their inspirational and often hilariously biting comebacks.
Because come on, no matter what your opinion may be on a country, its culture, religion, government or whatever, dismissing millions of human beings as having somehow less worth than others because of where they are from is just not cool. Not from a regular guy on the street, and certainly not from the President of the United States.
These tweets show that every individual person is different, has their own qualities, and are capable of overcoming adversity to rise from the 'shithole' and make themselves into incredibly inspiring and successful people. Exactly the kind of people that made America great in the first place!
Scroll down to check out people's reactions below, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Care to run for President here? Your certainly more qualified and sure as hell better looking!
Um…you have to be at least 35 to run for president, Jennifer. Hope you're not of voting age making a comment like that.
Load More Replies... Wow. We actually have a president that calls other countries "shitholes". Everyone that voted him in, give yourselves a pat on the back!! Great job! Fucking NOT.
She is beautiful Not only as she is stunning which is sadly what most people think I mean, but her heart is powerful and moving, I see a great future and so can she
Trump is a shit-head turning America into a shit-hole, and we the people can't do anything about it!
We the people CAN do something about it. Get involved in local & state issues. Volunteer in organizations you believe will make your neighborhood, town, state, country and even the world, a better place. Vote in the Congressional Election this coming November. Stay positive, let your Love shine & persevere!

When where did you do all your schooling? The United States? Why didn't you do in your own country of origin
Sometimes there’s better education opportunities here (not always) or could be for financial reasons.

I am ASHAMED to be an American, I do NOT support trump and NEVER HAVE. This just makes me even more disgusted to have him as the president of the U.S.
She's being educated here in the US. And, when the word sh*thole is used in ref to a country, the finger is being pointed at the government. A government that has allowed (or been so greedy) their nation to become what it is. Venezuela is a prime example.
You speak more languages and have more class than he will ever have
Actually, he speaks 4 languages and his wife speaks six.....

So did she get her degrees in her home country or here??? My guess here
It's funny because she isn't being educated in South Sudan. And when the word sh*ithole is used it's not about the people. It's about the governments and what they do or allow to happen to their countries. Venezuela is a prime example.
You are a dynamo, but ai do hope you plan to stay in your own country and help it. I don’t know what country that is, but it could probably use more highly intelligent and educated people.
That's telling the old shit, congratulations on your accomplishments! 🇨🇦
I am sure that the people in your ShitHole Country will appreciate your saying put and using your 3 degrees and future doctor-ship for their betterment!
Then go back and help fix that shithole country after graduating. Will you? I can guess ...
Her real hair is so much different, you'll have a surprise

I lived from the age 5 in a shithole country it's name is the "great Usa"! My daddy had to work well in in to his eighties to be able to keep mother and himself in their house. Yeah America is great for the billionaires not for the working class. I've come back to our country were u retired at 64 for women and 65 for men. We have a great social service, wonderful public hospitals, good public transport throughout the country and to all of Europe. My parents immigrated from Switzerland and I'm happily back here for the past 47 years. So of course America's old age pensions are not up to the standards here nor is all the social benifs, schooling in most states, we don't have ghettos, and we have taken in refugees from countries were wars are/were made by the great Usa government over the years. So your joker from Batman's comics Trump has a lot of work to ever make a country that doesn't take care of it's own citizens. Good luck to u poor souls living in the States.
shes beautiful shes smart and i wish the best for her to make her shithole country less of a shithole
Downgrade me all you want, i live in what can be classified as a "shithole" country and let me tell you what, it's a country where almost any taxi driver has 3-4 degrees in something and plenty of diplomas in something else. Want to know why? because one of a traits of Shit Countries is Academic Corruption - so how about giving me a break about: 1. degrees, masters, diplomas obtained in your country - some of this people barely had time to breath getting all of those at the same time 2. languages you "speak" but aren't certified in internationally 3. future this or that 4. any NGO membership Seriously people, stop talking everything at face value
This whole thread misses the obvious point that exceptions are NOT rules. The general influence of people from third-world countries is tainting what's good about America. It's not racist to want quality of life maintained. Imagine gangsta rap music being the new theme of American government. People would beg for the original Founding Fathers and dignity. In a converse way, it's the same as claiming that a criminal like George Floyd represents all blacks, since the riots in his name have just made blacks look worse.
Forgot to state that in Switzerland we don't have a police that shoot black people just because they're not white! We don't shoot our neighbors over a dispute, we don't ran a around with guns and rifles like mad cowboys, we respect humain rights. So is your country ever been great? We never imported humains to our country to ne slaves and we haven't taken over half the world one way or another.
What a beautiful, educated lady. I bet her IQ would leave Donny the dunce for dead.
its really sad that people are so ignorant to lie about something and then spread the lie as if it were true. Our President didn't say this but someone spread the lie intentionally to hurt him and Our Country...shame on Dick Durban!!!
its ok for someone to spread a lie and then the lie is perpetuated...not in my book. Our POTUS did NOT say this... it was a lyin' SCUM DEMOCRAP Dick Durbin a known liar at that.....this only hurts how we really feel and none of it has a speck of truth to it!!!
congratulations!! you left a shit hole country to full fill your dreams its not easy as am betting your Education did not come from your country of origins Now are you going back to help make your country better ? .
can we assume that you stay in your country and help to continue to improve it?
So .....you’re one person who worked hard and made your way out. What OUR PRESIDENT said is true and even if he shouldn’t have....HE IS AGREAT MAN and is doing GREAT things for AMERICA. Don’t be so sensitive. Look at the larger picture! things for AMERICA!
Only Dick Durbin, a known liar said what supposedly Trump said. No one else heard Trump say it. People they said there was profanity and was used by many people, even Democrats. The main stream never says that they just keep pushing falsities. People believe the main stream media and never checked the news they heard.
Are you going back from where ever you came from, which is not stated, or are you staying in th USA to practice medicine? Reason why not returning home if you are not?
Trump did not call the people "shitholes" he called the country's "shitholes". Saying that was not ok but he loves all Americans and he is not racist he only hates illegal immigration I am proud to be an American and I believe he is a better person than Hillary Clinton
First of all, the "shithole" word was invented by Fake News. And secondly, yeah, you're a doctor whose degrees are from a "not known for their cleanliness or intellect" country. If these commenters were honest, they would admit that they would not seek healthcare from your country.
Her point is solid and she has every right to be here, we should be glad to have all types of immigrants. What I don’t understand and won’t accept is the fetishization and thievery of hair from Asian and Latin women. This girl cares so much about respect and equality when it comes to herself (as she should) but has no problem appropriating from marginalized women across the globe and stealing a look and style that does not belong to her. It is so unacceptable.
It's wonderful to see such an intelligent person acknowledging that their country is a shithole, and that President Trump was right....again!
Thewre are "thousands" of FUTURE doctors in this world. LOL I don't believe anything you have written except that you are why these countries are $#ithole countrys. Stay home and make your Country better if you are so damn good at what you do.
AH, but you LEFT that 'shithole' to get those degrees and get ahead!!

A cross between the electoral college vote and the obvious Russian hacking.
What ever Aussies think about Trump - we all are grateful we do NOT have an entire YEAR of electioneering.
The weird thing ( to an Australian-we have different voting set up ) is that Hilary actually got more votes from the people.
throw in some voter apathy and blugeague's pretty much got it

RACHEL MADDOW: (7/29/16) Unless this election happens on Mars, Donald Trump will lose
He did not win the popular vote. Clinton won by a landslide.
Not a landslide. Don't be histrionic. She did win the popular vote, yep. She lost because of hubris and ineptitude, one of the very few people Democrats could have backed who had as high a negative rating as Trump. She lost the election because she lost the rust belt states. She considered them hers by right, and she disdained to campaign there. Trump campaigned there, and everybody thought it was a waste of time. Then the polls started turning, and right toward the end she changed her mind, but it was too little, too late. The electoral system was created specifically so that one or two high-population states couldn't dominate presidential elections. So a candidate does well in California and New York... great. You've got to do well in enough states to win enough electoral votes.
Pulled in the shithole votes of shithole voters. Believe me. . .
Look asshole, Durbin was lying, he didn't say that. But typical of scummy REgressives like you, if it's negative, you'll swallow it.
Neither can we Europeans. We don't understand the one citizens is not worthy of one vote for the presidential. Each Europeans vote counts. Unfortunately the system in the states is bizarre
He was duly elected like it or not.
Correct , YOU don't understand !!!
We the people voted for him and he is doing great things for AMERICA! LIKE IT OR NOT....YOU should watch your mouth!
Like what?

President Trump is President because the Democrat party was more worried about how many genders can dance on the head of a pin and who can pee where. We the People were more worried about where the money to keep a roof over our head and food on the table. From what I can see going on with the economy We the People made the right choice. To this day your President is in denial claiming some Americans are on a different planet because they watch a fair and balanced news channel. I want you all to know you are invited to Planet Reality anytime you can over come the brainwashing.
You Trump supporters all remind me of Baghdad Bob.
Fox isn't balanced. Let's be honest about that. It's plenty partisan. But it's no more partisan than MSNBC on the left, and people aren't constantly calling out MSNBC. And since Trump has been president, CNN has shifted quite a bit to the left. Sometimes it's hard to tell MSNBC's reporting from CNN's.
Actually no, the democrats weren't the ones who got their panties in a bunch about who could pee where. That wasn't a democratic issue. It was republicans who couldn't stand the thought of a woman who was once a man being in the same bathroom as someone born a woman.

@jotaro...If Hillary were president and did something like this, would you hold her to the same standard? I've heard her and the Obamas say horrible things about this country and no one called them out to the point that Trump has been called out. I'm not a Trump fan. I'm not a Hillary fan. I'd just like to see people come together no matter who is president, and stop all this anger and divisive talk. It's ruining this country.
Post the horrible things you heard them say. Just post the links.

Yes! I am a Trump supporter and totally agree with you! I believe the point he was trying to make is that no matter how beautiful the landscape is or anything like that, the government of these countries are full of corruption and are making things very hard for the people that live there. He never meant that these people could not make a living for themselves. These people are amazing and incredibly successful and Trump is not offending these people. Some people just do not understand the point he is trying to make and that is ok!
On what planet does him not wanting people from “shithole” countries in America translate to “oh, he just means that in those countries it’s very hard for people to live there”? You are aware by that logic America is a shithole right? Full of corruption. Check. Hard for the people that live there (unless you’re a straight white rich man)? Check. Hmm, definitely don’t want you in my country then. Please don’t take offence though, I mean you might not understand the point I’m trying to make, but that’s OK. Good god, my eyes rolled so hard they’re permanently stuck.

i wanted this thread to be inspiring, and it is!!! - if you can ignore all of the posts that say "FROM is the key word. Your "shithole" county would be better if you had stayed." That perspective is wrong - we need to thank these incredible people for coming to America and making it better. Unless you're Native American; we ALL come from a "shithole" country if you go back far enough.

"Native" Americans came from Asia, probably before it was a shit-hole. If you think they have some sort of "they were here first" rights then you ought to apply the same principle to Israelis and take a stand against "Palestinian" interlopers. Just saying.

I mean that trhe forefathers of Mr. Trump emigrated from a part of Germany which has been one of the deepest "shitholes", but he does not remember it. Many greetings from Germany

They were from Scotland. And which place in Germany was that and when? Germany hasn't a history of shitholery...at least until the mass migration of "refugees" in the past few years.
All smart and great people and exactly the kind our country was built on.
Can someone plz explain it to me what is wrong with Trump? I have always known politicians to be vile,evil, extorting money from people,dividing nd conquering them, nd just being horrendous person in general etc. What they usually r, r a sweet talker. So why does he say all those things that will make people mad nd r so wrong. Or is he really speaking what the majority of Americans thinks.(I m from other side of the globe so I really don't know wht happens there).
Pragya...Narcisitic......Self love , Self absorption..... it is a disease of the Ego. He lives in a world that consists of himself....the ambit of his interest does not go beyond the first personal pronoun 'I'....and so it matters not what you say about him as long as you are talking about him and his "brand". As to your question he could care less about the rest of the world and what they think AND we are about to see what the rest of Americans are really thinking about Trump because the sh** has hit the fan. What are they going to do about it.....hang on to your hat.

Narcissistic? Self love? Self absorption? Disease of the ego? Yes, we know all about Obama, but he isn't President anymore. We're fortunate to have a new President who speaks plainly and who only hurts the feelings of trembling snowflakes.
That's a spin people are putting on it. He blurts things out WITHOUT filtering them...that's part of the problem..he simply cannot be thoughtful not to mention the fact that more and more he doesn't appear to be terribly bright because he doesn't put too much thought into his comments. People surrounding him then have to put a spin on his comments to make it seem as though that's what he meant...it's obvious to everyone that he just blurts things out like a child. I also don't think it's what the "majority" of Americans feel. Some clearly do but many simply do not feel the way he does and are appalled by his words and behavior which is why there is such division in this country. It's absolutely ridiculous. I feel one way, you feel another. We shouldn't hate each other and call one another names because of it but it's going on everywhere.
Valefar, Trump doesn't have the best track record when it comes to honesty nor does he have the greatest track record when it comes to decorum in public. If it weren't for his past history and behavior...the way he carries himself and the way he DOES talk nearly EVERY time he opens his yap I honestly would take this with a grain of salt. This however, I believe completely because past behavior is an indicator of future behavior. His manner and attitude...his constant spouting off...this is typical of the kind of action and talk we have all seen. Conservatives may like it. Good for them. I am happy for them. I don't. I think he's horrible and I do not agree with your statement. I think Trump casts Trump in the worst light when he's standing in it.
By the way Valefar, you say the real issue is chain migration and the lottery system where "hundreds of thousands of people are bound to become welfare cases and not productive members of American society." Where are you coming up with that? The chain migration is about the dreamers - many of whom are paying taxes, have valid drivers licenses and work permits. This we know. As far as the lottery goes, when Trump says, "They're GIVING us their worst.." They're not GIVING us anybody. It's run by the U.S. The people coming here apply, are vetted and have to demonstrate work history and abilities. When you hear Trump say ANYTHING you MUST check it because he lies. He lies. I'm not a Hillary supporter so don't even bring that up. Tell me why you have decided that people you don't even know are going to be the scourge of the earth without even knowing anything about them except what country they're from.

Trump is not on record as saying "shithole countries" nor was he recorded saying such a thing. A few Democrat lawmakers made the claim and are disputed by others who were present. Ever eager to cast the President in the worst light, the press turned this into a racial issue. The real issue is a lottery system and chain migration that takes in hundreds of thousands of people who are bound to become welfare cases and not productive, contributing members of American society.
Short theory: dementia
Trump firmly believes in "all publicity is good publicity", if it turns out to be bad publicity, then he just shrugs his shoulders and lets his minions deal with the fallout. Why is he so vile? Simply because he never has and doesn't understand what it means to be responsible.
Trump speaks like the average American but lacks eloquence. You'd get a negative impression of him if you live on the other side of the globe because much of American press is virtually a propaganda organ of the Democrat party and Liberals believe every lie, smear, omission of fact and exaggeration put forth by the Liberal press.

Part of it is that he is speaking what Amricans are true and he is not afraid to do that. I guess that people ellected him. Other part is that... well, media does not like Trump. So yes, they will report gladly him saing "Shithole countries" (even that there is not proof he said that other than words from his political opponents) and they won't ever report his twit about this statement: "Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!"
A lot of ignorant, untraveled people here. Most countries outside of the USA are "sh*tholes" -- that's not saying their people are bad -- just terrible systems of government, under which people are suffering. The more people whine about the truth being spoken, the more silly they look. BTW -- my people come from a sh*thole -- Cuba. I have no problem with their legal migration, nor with stating that Cuba is for sure, a sh*thole. I am thankful to be born here in the USA, and now to have a President who is not afraid to state the truth, no matter how the haters cry.
Agree. I speak four languages and have familiarity with many more, I've traveled all over the world, and I can easily say that I'm glad to be an American and that I do not want America to ever turn into a shit-hole like the ones I've visited all over the world. By the way: I started out in one of the most squalid ghettos in NYC and ended up with the educational equivalent of a PhD, so it's not like I don't know a shit-hole when I see one.
Being from there and living there are two different stories.
As for me, I'm just trying to figure out what shithole country to travel to next! https://www.postcardsfromstef.com/the-shitholiest-places-to-visit-in-2018/
