It's the people that make it a toilet, not the scenery. It's been 10 years or so since they had an earthquake. Who ever heard of it taking 10 years to fix earthquake damage, especially when the place was pretty much a shambles before.

No swimming pools or hot water to shower in for them, like the rest of the cess pool Haiti is.
You realize they were hit by a Cat-5 hurricane, dont you?

They were a ****Hole prior to the hurricane, and prior to the earthquake they had several years ago. They will be a ****Hole after the hurricane damage is cleaned up, if ever. The government is highly corrupt. You could move the entire country to Africa, and it would fit right in.

I am sure that after filming his little puff piece, Conan got into his air conditioned SUV and high tailed it over to the Dominican Republic..

Donald Trump was simply doing what he's known for: letting the truth fly out his mouth at inopportune times without the P-C filter in place. And the world hates a person like this.

These resorts in Haiti are fenced off from the rest of the country. They are compounds that only tourists can go to. The general population of Haiti can't just stroll onto those beaches. That's the only thing that keeps these areas decent.

They wanted his wallet and his clothes too not to mention any and all electronics. Haiti per capita income is $800 per year.....so 70 Haitians put together would equal the GDP of one american. But if they come to america and get a welfare check, they would be rich by Hatitan standards. So why do we need them here?

He didn’t say it in a presser, it was at a meeting. And the democrats ran to the media to say he said something so awful (people actually cried ) because they don’t want a deal being put forth by Trump. They want to make sure Trump can never get credit for doing something Obama never tried to do. Democrats want to be the ones to control this issue and use it for the mid-terms.
