Okay, good for you, that doesn't at all change my statement. A sitting president talking about "shit hole" countries doesn't equate to constant, enduring criticism from the rest of the world. Glad you can get one over on "other side" though. It's honestly people like you who drive the division that perpetuates the bipartisanship and make it even more difficult to pass legislature that could benefit the country. Before you criticize everyone and everything else, take a look at your own behavior and see if there's anything you can do to mitigate harm at your scale.

Talk about generalizing things! You know very little about me and my little joke with using “shit hole” country is hardly a problem the country faces or is in any way perpetuating partisan divides. It’s ok to call out hypocrisy when one sees it. This is especially so when it involves our leaders.

I haven’t criticized everyone or everything else. I criticized the U.S. for being as wealthy as it is and being in the state it is in. It’s not a good look for you to complain about overgeneralizing and then write the above overgeneralization.
My presidential voting record:
George Bush 1992
Bob Dole 1996
Green Party 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012
Donald Trump 2016
For a nation to be as wealthy as we are and to be in the state we are in I think it’s fair to say the U.S. is a shit hole country. Our patriotism and propaganda blind us to this fact.
