A shallow wave of mock outrage spread across the world today, followed by almost universal unspoken agreement, after President Trump accurately referred to Haiti, El Salvador, and some African countries as "shithole countries."
The comments came in a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators at the White House, during a discussion of America's ridiculous visa lottery system that allows random people from dysfunctional, low-IQ, and badly toilet trained countries to come to America on green cards.
The White House issued a statement that did not deny the remarks. In the past Trump has made equally disparaging remarks of Haiti. In 2007, he famously said Haitian immigrants "all have AIDS," which is not strictly true.
Trump's latest comments are not exactly accurate either, as "shithole countries" implies that the countries in question are actually using improvised latrines to dispose of their faecal waste.
From evidence on the ground, there is no reason to believe this is actually happening in Haiti, where cholera is a pandemic and shit and other rotting garbage are everywhere, as shown by these images:
