Thousands of Haitians Rally in Protest of Trump's Racist "Shithole" Comments
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Haiti, thousands of protesters took to the streets of the capital
Port-au-Prince to protest against President Trump for reportedly
describing Haiti, as well as some African nations and El Salvador, as
"shithole" countries. This is Haitian professor Josué Mérilien.

Josué Mérilien: "Donald Trump is a 'piece of shit' president, and so
that's why his mind is filled with a shitty outlook, an outlook that
that contributes to a shitty situation. What we have as our situation is
the result of all the bad actions of the imperial colonizers against the
country, with the support of the enslaved politicians, who don't make
considerations with their country in mind but are out defending their
own interests. They are all corrupt politicians."
