hope he remembers that he is from an immigrant descendants. he is everything of a bigot. a male chauvanist, and bloody racist. egomaniac.

Gerrard59:



Everyone is an immigrant to a place historically or otherwise. However, does that mean we should allow any Tom, Dick and Harry into a country? We're residents in places we don't come from. Does it mean we should start inhabiting the indigenes of the area in our houses because we bought lands and built houses in their area?

Singapore, Japan, Botswana and Israel are examples of nations with very strict immigration laws. Yet immigrants made up various countries.

As harsh as the statement might be, he's right. Nations have the right to protect their borders, Trump is doing it the best way he deems fit, and constitutionally, he is empowered to.

humilitypays:
Anything that will make Africans wake up and have sense is welcomed!

We Africans need to wake up and surprise the world like China.

Nigeria ought to lead that way...Nigeria need to lead other black African nations to light and let the world celebrate us for once

Don't blame Trump, if u were in his shoes, u would hate Africans, everything about Africa is bad.
We and MiddleEast are now the headquarters of barbarism; from Islamic terrorists from Middle east, north Africa, and Nigeria (Book Haram & Fulani herdsmen), to political corruption, government looting, tribalism, ethnic cleansing, generational poverty and what have you.

What good is Africa to the rest of the world

We flood Europe, America, etc, thereby destabilizing their economy instead of fighting our useless governments to fix our nations and make our nations okay for us to stay back, we prefer to flee from our problem only to come back to them later, its a shame

ositadima1:


You write well and you made a whole lot of sense, but, use paragraphs next time, it is easier to read.

planetx:
Canada will soon start having a hardline immigration policy after we have started flooding the place, 90% of everyone that I know that traveled in the last couple of years went to Canada.

I tire o, if African countries were not a shithole , why are thousands if not millions run away from that continent every year

salford1:
basically. He wants migrants from Norway/Eu (White people)

He does not want migrants from Africa (Black people).

Lol. The black race has really suffered.

planetx:
That means Trump is stupid and doesn't understand how immigration works, why would anyone from Norway or any Scandinavian country wants to migrate to the US when Norway as a better quality of life, better health care system, better education system and people don't walk around with guns in Norway. US is nothing more than an advanced third world country only someone that has never been there will think otherwise.

I feel sorry for you. They have got you finally. I live in the West and I bet you many Nigerians here wish to return home to that shithole. If you think the comfort in western world is everything in life...then until you get there. Many westerners with their so called advanced society live miserable life. Many years ago I met an European who said many people in the West are less happier and that when he travel to countries like Brazil that has sizable population of poor people he does not seem to understand why these poor people who live in abject poverty live a happier life. That all their needs are simple and easily met.

About poor Africans dieing to cross over to the West, until they get there they will realize that most of their expectations are illusion from watching too much Hollywood movies.

If only the government can fix basic amenities, people have no reason to come here except for sightseeing.

but he's saying the damm truth

imagine a president pumping billions into aso rock clinic, yet run to Europe once he get sick


imagine a minister of education sending his children to school abroad

imagine millions risking their life just to cross the sea to Europe and work as a slave




.....whether you believe it or not, it doesn't change the fact that Africa is a 'shithole'

damola1:
Fool. Your first black president was from Kenya.

TheGreatIYANU:
DID HE LIE?

When someone insults me, I don't immediately castigate. I weigh the statement and ask myself...

Is this statement TRUE? Is there any iota of TRUTH to it? With honest personal introspection, I look inward and judge. If I see any semblance of truth o the statement, I immediately initiate a process to make AMENDS where necessary.

If it is not, I don't judge the abuser... I simply pity his ignominy and shallow mind.

I fear Trump's statement has (not an iota) but a Plethora of Truths to it!

African people should wake up and DEMAND Excellence!

The Land is not cursed. The People are.

FoolaniMadsman:


This is Fake News Also this story came out over 2 weeks ago nawa for you OP . No one has come out and said yes i was in that room and he said that about Africans. Just butt hurt Democrats that want there useless immigration bill passed so they are playing the race card to get the masses upset. Say no to FAKE/GARBAGE NEWS don't believe everything you read just because it says NY Times, wall Street journal, etc.

Mudley313:


Are these people defending Trump on here actually Nigerians/blacks

The context of his statement matters. Let me try and break it down for you:

Example A

Me: Nigeria is a sh*thole country. Too much greed, corruption, 419, ritual killings, boko haram etc.

Example B:

Job Recruitment Officer: Why do we hire people from sh*thole countries such as from Africa, India, Haiti etc. I would rather hire Merit based such as people from Norway

Example A is what you're arguing; Example B is what the sh8thead Trump is advocating for when you replace employment with immigration
