When A S###hole Is The Truth

Donald Trump is under fire for calling Haiti and several African countries "S###holes."   The sourcing of the story is sketchy (and ignores similar comments from the likes of Lyndon Johnson to Lindsey Graham), but more to the point, the statement reflects a hard reality - Haiti really is just that, a mind-bogglingly incompetent state forever in need of foreign aid, and a lot of other "poor" states are just that - incompetently-run enterprises. So all Trump is doing is telling the truth, all the while correcting the mistakes of Barack Obama.
