Let's see how ofensive we can be, Mr. Trump

*hole.  Yep.  From the mouth of the POTUS.

Unfortunately, I would venture to say that most Americans have felt that way when contemplating some of the living conditions in other cultures.  They may not use the tacky language and may not voice the view, but we are appalled by how people live, and have to live.

The reasons for poverty--and for the conditions in these *hole countries--are complicated.  Everything from natural disasters, to cultural practices, to evil dictators, to climate change (yes, it exists, sorry; the reason is still up for grabs), to religious beliefs. 

If these places weren't *holes, would millions be trying to get to the U.S.?

 Did he say it?  If he did, why did the participants of the meeting feel the need to come out and tell on him?  What snitches!

 However, if he said this, it's egregious and offensive. You won't catch me defending the POTUS.  I can see why those who do not have eternal hope sit and bite their nails that he might causes big international problems. 

Addendum on Jan. 19.  Is the president a racist?  I doubt he has enough self awareness to have a worldview that is racist.  I think his multitudinous comments that seem racist are more indicative that he is a jerk.  But I don't know his heart.  Nowadays, anybody can be called racist and there is no defense because the definition of racist is fluid.
