What parts of the first-world would Trump consider to be substandard ?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24882points) April 8th, 2018

Or in his word a shit-hole? America included. Humor and legit answers welcome. In Canada some or most of the Indigenous peoples reserves don’t have clean running tap water. Anawapiskat. Second link to running water controversy. Have you ever visited or lived in a shit-hole?

I’ve taken to referring to supporters of President Shithole as shithole-Americans.

His support is strongest in shitholes with economies based on disability checks, meth, and opioids.

So, to answer the question, all the red portions on a county-by-county map of the 2016 election results.

Trump himself springs to mind. He is way, way below the standard expected and then there is this…

“I think it’s very uncommon in the First World. This is not a sight that one normally sees. I’d have to say that I haven’t seen this,” Philip Alston, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, said as he toured a Butler County community where raw sewage flows from homes through exposed PVC pipes and into open trenches and pits.

Alston was in Alabama on Thursday to bear personal witness to the poverty, lack of access to basic services and civil rights struggles that have plagued poor, mostly African-American residents of the state’s Black Belt region for generations.

I was in a city in North Dakota 25 years ago and the citizens drank coffee because its boiled water. The water from the taps was nasty.

University towns and sanctuary cities. Any place that is majority (or close to it) minority.

Any town without a McDonalds.

Any place where predominately people of color live.

I assume he means anything HE considers substandard, which is probably much of the country.

For myself and my definition, I’ve seen many, including parts of Mexico and many parts of the US across the country.

^^ Slap some gold paint on it. It will bring up the worth.

@rojo Agreed, a tad ostentatious in his tastes…haha

San Francisco and Los Angeles are getting pretty third- and fourth world. Tent cities, feces, needles.

Haven’t been to London, but people are starting to avoid it due to radical Islamic extremists, knife attacks, acid attacks. But Trump will give them a pass because they’re Anglo, not African or Hispanic

What parts of the first world consider Trump substandard? I would guess a pretty good chunk of it.
