Almost lost faith in the guy. Don't you dare.

I haven't been embarrassed.

I haven't been embarrassed.

It's a pride thing.

I want to be proud of my president.

He makes it an onerous chore. I find it a struggle to condone his bravado to less conservative friends.
If I had a 13 y/o daughter watching the news with me how would I explain his behavior? I could not.

It is profoundly embarrassing in that context.

I hated so much of what Obama did and stood for but I always admired his command of our language and his elocution.

Trump? No.
I like what he does.
I'm mortified by how he communicates it to the world at large.

John Kennedy said it best:
"Ask not what your country can do for you assholes, ask what you assholes can do for your country."

See?
Embarrassing!

The previous 8 years were embarrassing.

I feel a sense of pride lately.
I don't expect t you to understand.

I guess I don't understand.

A President that kisses ass and bows to every leader in the world makes you proud but a President that says exactly what he means and knows they should all bow to us embarrasses you?

 

[jrbfishn]

Well, so far it hasn't been confirmed that he really called them shithole countries anything. But if he did, so what. That is pretty much what they are. If it is embarrassing, maybe they should change their country instead of us changing what we call them.
But Trump is right. Why would we want them here in the first place. Regardless of what you choose to call them. They don't support this country or our laws, but want our Country to support them. Just because this Country is successful does not mean we have an obligation to support the rest of the world.

I call them shit hole countries all the time. What's the problem?

Would you prefer "land of doo doo".

 

[AustinN4]

I really like what Trump is doing for our nation but I wish he's quit embarrassing us!

Why is truth embarrassing to you? Haiti and most, but not all, African countries are shitholes.

Anytime Little Andy Vanderbilt is choking on tears, you know you did something right.

 

[Kar98]

"Haitian Ambassador calls on Trump to clarify his shithole remarks".

OK, let me clarify: we're talking about holes in the ground that one shits into. Open air latrines dug out of the ground. Just like your shithole of a country.

I guess I missed it, can you quote for me where HKshooter said Obama made him proud?

 

[smittyb]

I know they are shithole countries, and you know they are shithole countries.
The leader of the free world should be held to a higher standard.
Just like I think it wasn't proper for Obama to say "so we know who's ass to kick" (and neither did any other conservative talking head at the time), I don't think it's proper for Trump to call other countries shitholes. Even if they are.

I don't think it is much of a stretch to see the connection.

He is just speaking the truth. I think that is a great quality.

Political Correctness only confuses things.

Thank you.
I said no such thing.

Back in post #22 I did indeed say I admired BO's command of our language and his elocution. I also mused about how I would explain Trump's behavior if I were watching the news with an adolescent child.

I want to be proud of my elected president.
He keeps erecting hurdles.
We're just talking apolitical human decency at present.

Obama:
Threw America under the bus, but his words were well-spoken and eloquent while doing it.

Trump:
Believes America is exceptional, but says it in a mean way.

Got it...

We haven't had a President that speaks his mind and SAYS what most of us are THINKING since Teddy Roosevelt. I like to hear Trump say and speak the TRUTH! It's very refreshing compared to the lying, jug-eared, commie piece of shit that stunk up the White house for the preceding 8 years!

.....I did indeed say I admired BO's command of our language and his elocution.

So, you prefer style over substance?

But they are shit holes. Dems cant come up with a single valid reason why anyone should be coming to our country from these shit holes other than more votes and anchor babies. Africans and haitians take a ton of nursing jobs away from Americans who go into debt to get the bullshit college degree for it which is required now. My wife works with these savages and they do nothing but sexually harass their American co workers and provide the shittiest of care to patients.

Just like where I work. A new guy started. Barely speaks english and has 6 months of experience. From a foreign country and he sucks so far. Why isn't there an American sitting in his place? You know one of your sons or daughters who paid an arm and a leg to get a college degree only to have their spot filled by someone who was just taking a dump in the ocean a few months ago? This is why people vote for Trump. Sure as shit the reason why I did.

Leader of the free world should talk nicely my ass. I would take Trump's Patton like speak over BO's nigh constant grabbing of his ankles and crying on national television like he just ran out of tampax any day of the week.

Call a spade a spade, call a shithole a shithole. Build the wall. Build a sea mine wall while you are at it
