That is correct. But irrelevant. “I represent Haitian-Americans”. Clearly, was not “speaking frankly and honestly”. As I stated, I am MAGA, mostly. However he does need to reel in his comments, especially when his own statements directly contradict him.


You do know Haitian Americans and Haitians are not the same thing right?

Which words people use in private conversation should be of no concern to anyone except the people in that conversation. We are approaching a very unhealthy situation of 'thought-crime' stopping the advance of human intelligence. If ever private thought must be first subjected to a filter of "could someone find a reason to object to that word' we are on the way to designed robotic algorithms in our thought processes. We better hope to hell that the person designing the algorithm is a true prescient man of perfect character.

No you’re not.

Indeed I am. Because I do not support absolutely 100% of his actions does not mean I am not pro Trump. I am able to support him as presidentAnd most of his policies, while at the same time criticizing some of his actions when that is due.

If some people agree with absolutely everything he does all of the time because “MAGA” and the “leftist melt”, good for them. But that is not how I operate in politics.

He wasn't speaking from the podium to those countries, it was a private conversation. It's silly to hold it to the same standard.


Fair point. But I’ve also seen posters make the argument that candidness and truth is what “spurs people to action” and “gets things done.” I’m challenging that contention.

As to your point, if I’m meeting with the leadership of our practice, I’m still not calling any under-performing subordinates retards. All that does is make me look like an arse.

At the end of the day, this is going to be turned into a much bigger deal than it actually is by the media but I still think some degree of criticism is fair. I can still agree with Trump’s general policies without agreeing with every little thing he says and does. Idk why some posters feel it’s their job to defend every little thing.

And I fully realize that even as a Trump supporter, whenever I might be critical of something he does, there will be a handful of people here who will respond with these types of “idiotic” statements not worthy of a rational discussion.

Again, I doubt this is anything new, but people are desperate to nail Trump.

I've been one to slam his juvenile persona in the past, but it works and I can list at least five major things that are much better since he took office.

Yeah that doesn't make any logical sense. Why are you going to use Haitian Americans as an example of why Haiti isn't a shithole country, when they fled that shithole country because it was a shithole?

Haiti is the rape capitol of the world.

There are ways to do things.

You don't call someone a pig - you describe their surroundings as resembling a pigsty. Address conduct and performance, NOT make derogatory attacks on the person himself.

Now, if you can do that in a fair, evenhanded way, folks sometimes cannot see their own flaws - helping them see those flaws is the key to any improvement. Pretending everything is hunky dory when you're living in a shithole, pretty much guarantees continued shitholeness.

Umm, good one I guess. Why you disrespecting trailer parks? Are they shitholes or something? Hmmmmmmm, sounds like you're doing exactly what you are parading against. Not very bright are you?

You and Whoopi will have a field day with this today. I bet you can't wait to watch.
