What does Trump have against African nations and Haiti again?

Asked by Catnip5 (345points) February 23rd, 2018

May be a belated post on my part but this one kinda had me wondering at the moment, even in the light of other unfortunate recent events too. So what does he strongly have against with Africa and Haiti to make him express such remark? What did that continent and that one Caribbean nation ever personally do to him?

Well… despite some of the obvious such as ‘because they’re black, and he’s not’, ‘to appeal more to the racist bases that he got in some form, especially to the KKK-like sensibilities’, ‘those places strongly remind him of Obama (who is also a Kenyan descendant)’

Why did he also single out Haiti of all the Caribbean nations as a target for disdain? Haiti clearly have been through a lot since the 2011 earthquake that even Dominican Republic have tried their best to support their neighbor’s recovery, despite their political tension. Trump sure has form an odd habit of kicking a nation when they’re down with that one. He also should practice what he preaches from whatever comes out of his mouth, or take a look at his own nation first before going on to criticize others. How does inspiring a personality cult called the alt-rights or suggest teachers to be armed everywhere in the future not exactly place America on a verge of become a shittier country? Plus we’re just going to pretend how cities and areas like Detroit don’t exist in the US? Sorry, Detroiters.

Maybe Mexico got too boring to pick on at the moment regarding immigration issues?

Plus why did he suddenly favor Norway of all European countries (besides Russia) for immigration? I even seen Norwegians called him out after his statement.
