Well, Trump would consider Nigeria to be a shithole since that's what he thinks of African countries.

I don't think any country should be called a shithole, no matter how poor or troubled it is


well we differ in opinions
A lot of degrading your own country and praising the United kingdom on this site.
can you speak or understand Yoruba?
it may be that Mr Trump was misheard talking about Mr Sithole, the quondam Zanu leader from what is now Zimbabwe....

What makes your country good and not a shithole?


Outside of trump and his band of uneducated supporters, "good" and "shithole" arent the only two ways of describing a country.
you can't blame someone for critcising a country that practises fgm and stones women to death for being raped...

I know, but if you said to me that Somalia was a shithole I would not disagree with you

1. He's not just "someone" - he is a world leader. Someone in such a high position should know better than to directly insult a group of people in such a derogatory way. How would people react if he said the same to a specific state etc?

2. Not everyone in those countries practice "fgm" or stone women. That is an extreme generalisation.
Do you agree with Trump's views on your country?
The thing that annoys me about the reaction to this is that it's easy to see why most people would be offended by such a brash statement, however it seems that #ShitholeCountry is just Cherrypicking: The Hashtag
Nigeria isnt a **** hole, plenty of millionaires because of oil money in that country.

I know DJs and Semi proffesionional musicians that make $5000-10,000 from a few gigs over a weekend in nigeria

He didnt criticize he insulted.

Trump has abused more women than the average nigerian

Why tar a college educated nigerian stem specialists as bad for the US but a norwegian with no degree good? Answer racism
