 I’m going to agree with Ivan on this one and give a little context. Trump is innocent on this one. I’ve never been to Haiti, but the Haitians I know that live in the Dominican Republic say the same thing. Some are all Haitian some are both. They all want to live outside of Haiti. They might not say it is a shithole, but I see none of us have planned a vacation there. 
As far as going back to where you came from and fix it up. That is solid advice for anyone. Right? It has to be hard work. Work that people generally don’t volunteer for. 
Have you seen Candace Owens podcast in the last week or two? She shows where Obama was not born in the United States, born in Kenya, was raised as Barry Soetoro son of Lola Soetoro (step dad) in Indonesia. Had a he that identified as a she as a babysitter or house maid. 
He also used to hang out and fund many many many rappers. They used to always say his name is a good light in their songs. Appeared on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air show. Wrote books with Robert Kiyosaki. There are pictures of him with Don King, Mike Tyson….. my point is that none of us know him personally. I bet he is a lot different than we know.
