Can someone post an audio of him actually making this statement? Otherwise this is hundreds of pages of arguing over nothing.

Trump
The truth often stings.

Excellent idea! We send tons of aid to these countries, most of which do not reach the people that the funds were intended for. We should not send money to countries that are crap holes unless they show evidence of improving living conditions for their poor so they aren't motivated to come to the US and suck the teat of public assistance.

I hope if that happens that Trump puts a BIG price tag on that help, he talked of requiring countries to pay for the assistance. They all run their mouths and talk trash about us because Trump isn't kissing their butts like Obama did.

Why?

Maybe it is because of those resources that are in those countries.

Another reason why China is laughing at Trump.

Problem with you Trumpists, you can't see beyond the nose on your face. So, damn narrow minded you constantly miss the big picture.
Good let China take care of them as since they have nearly all of our industry now, they should be taking their turn. These countries have milked US taxpayers for decades.

Yes, I'm wondering how many praising China have submitted their applications to relocate to China.

Yes about Obama! He was on his knees to their backside while constantly be critically of those that were putting food on his table. He wanted to be "the world leader" and couldn't even lead his own country.

Yep! And, maybe those people need to work like we have to make them different. It has not been easy for our ancestors, our military and many others in building the country we have. Many have lost their lives in pursuit of what we have. Our country was founded on arriving and having public assistance carry one through, we worked and fought our way to what we have and other countries need to do likewise.

I don't understand why we ever did business with China with all their human rights violations. It used to be we excluded countries that didn't give a darn about human rights. https://www.hrw.org/world-report/201...hina-and-tibet

I would think twice about praising the glory of China vs the US:

Nah, especially since I didn’t vote for Hillary, either.

Keep your insecure projections to yourself.

Another failed deflection from you.

I find that ridiculous on its face. The difference is we never hear about it.

I may not use the word sh*thole but the countries are not to US standards with regard to the poll.
Back during the days when what the public knew, was tightly controlled by ABC, CBS, and NBC, and by magazines like Time and Life, THIS is the sort of thing that was REALLY being said, by our "leaders" - (leaders the media fawned-over as if each were Jesus returned to Earth) :

Lyndon Johnson was always eager to let those around him know that he had an unusually large
(CENSORED by Gloria). Reviewing a biography of Johnson in the New York Review of Books, historian Marshall Frady noted:
"....if a colleague came into a Capitol bathroom as he was finishing at the urinal there, he would sometimes swing around still holding his member, which he liked to call “Jumbo,” hooting once, “Have you ever seen anything as big as this?,” and shaking it in almost a brandishing manner as he began discoursing about some pending legislation." (https://newrepublic.com/article/1311...-short-history)...."

And there's a long list of occasions when Lyndon said/demonstrated similar things, while in the course of conducting Presidential business.

Nothing is new under the sun with the latest round of bigots who expect American's tolerance towards foreigners to extend just far enough to cover them and their ancestors, but not an inch more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_Nothing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Peril

"Somebody" needs to do "something" about all those Catholics, Irish, Germans, Italians, and Asians who are coming here and "ruining America!"

Are we done yet? Can we stop playing the right-wing fool and pretending that "MY ancestors came here because, uh... they loved America, yeah... but YOURS came here because their homeland sucks, so they must also suck!"
biggots my butt....no one cares about that, what we care about is, if you come to this country you follow the laws, become a citizen, and work....instead of taking....
do you know illegals who came here and became U.S. citizens feel the same way?

I guess you are confused about how they might feel?

But it's not reversed, is it?
Here in the real world Trump is President of The United States. And he is taking issue with S-Hole countries who drive people out of their country and send them desperately looking for a home.

A merit based immigration system and border security would have cured the problem long ago. The Democrats could have done that, but did not. I honestly don't think they saw the problem. And that's pretty sad.

According to FOX, yes this is okay because "normal" people talk like this. This comes to you by way of the "family values" crowd.
