Trump laments critical situation in Haiti

[Dolores]

President Luis Abinader said the situation of Haiti came up in the brief conversation with US President Donald Trump when the two met for the first time during the Pope Francisco funeral in Rome. President Abinader said that Trump spoke of liking the Dominican Republic, where he has played golf in the past. He also spoke of the Dominican Republic doing well and mentioned Haiti. Abinader said Trump told him: “You are doing well, the country is doing well.” Then he said Trump lamented what is happening in Haiti and said the situation in Haiti is critical.

When Abinader mentioned the Summit of the Americas that the DR expects to host in December 2025 in Punta Cana, Trump said he expects to come for the summit. The Summit of the Americas is organized jointly with the US State Department.

The statement by the US President confirms the Dominican Republic, that shares a 391 km land border with Haiti, is practically on its own to deal with the critical situation in Haiti. The...

"Trump spoke of liking the Dominican Republic, where he has played golf in the past." sorry, but to me, that says it all. His past words regarding Haiti being a sh*thole country shows how much he really cares. I wonder what PC course he'll play in December.

We were right about golf being the main topic then.

I doubt that you can find any educated Haitian that will dispute the comment about Haiti being a "Shithole".

Any word from France about this mess?

Any word from France about this mess?

Why would there be, Haiti has had a long time to recover from anything to do with France.

He cares about the D.R. Why would he care about Haiti? Haiti does not care about Haiti.

That's all you should ever expect from France. Words not actions.

Every Haitian I know loves his country but hates his government.

What about that they hate the system or that there is no system.

They hate those in power. They know the elites control everything.

Trump is being far more realistic about Haiti's true sate as a country than the delusional idiots below:

 

[NanSanPedro]

Conan is right. Haiti is a beautiful country. Beautiful beaches and waterfalls. I've been to some. The problem with Haiti is the govt.

Take a look at the mountains in the background of his pic - totally deforested like much of Haiti. And then he's there sipping on Mai Ta, as if even 1% of the population lives like that. You can't get any more dishonest than that. What an idiot.

How is he dishonest if that is his opinion?

 

[cavok]

How is he dishonest if that is his opinion?

Because he's pushing a narrative. He reportedly has an IQ 160. Nobody with an IQ of 160 could possibly be so clueless and out of touch with reality. Dishonest is the perfect word.

What narrative is he pushing? If he thinks Haiti is a beautiful country, then that is his opinion. You cannot say that he is being dishonest if it is his opinion. Maybe to him it is beautiful. Maybe he sees beyond the corruption, poverty, etc. Who knows.

Now, you're being dishonest. That whole farce of a show was a reaction to Trump calling Haiti a sh*thole country. This was nothing more than a political stunt to try to put lipstick on a pig - to try to portray Haiti something it's not.

Cavok I do not care if it was a political stunt or whatever. I do not play into the politics of it all. I don't know what Conan's point was, all I said was that if he thinks it is a beautiful country then that is his opinion. Just like you have your opinion. Are you being dishonest? No, it is your opinion.

He cares about the D.R. Why would he care about Haiti? Haiti does not care about Haiti.

Yes. No one cares about Haiti. Only .017% of the global community even knows it shares an island with the Dominican. People know Haitians eat the pets and... well people too. Here in this forum you will find the largest global population interested in Haiti. In fact, Gene Hackman's and wife's bizarre deaths generated more social media interest than Haiti has over the entirety of human time.
