The President of Ghana just called Trump out on Twitter

Link to tweet

The language of @realDonaldTrump that the African continent, Haiti and El Salvador are “shithole countries” is extremely unfortunate. We are certainly not a “shithole country”. We will not accept such insults, even from a leader of a friendly country, no matter how powerful.

Why isn't T. Rex out in front of this diplomatic disaster? He's the SoS, for Christ's sake! WTF is he doing? Spending too much time with toothpicks? His diplomats are being called on the carpet, and he can't seem to get off the shitter.

He isn't content with insulting and causing problems for Americans, he's got to make enemies all over the world.

His handlers should take him on a tour of the hollows in the coal country. Take him to meet the "real" (white) citizens who have been devastated by the opioid epidemic, and unemployment. Take him to meet American citizens in trailer parks and slums in the mountains. Let him travel with the doctor and nurses who were on "60 Minutes" recently, helping uninsured people get medications for various afflictions. The term "shithole" applies to many areas in THIS country. McConnell is supposedly "representing" Kentucky. Why no health care that is universal? Why no coverage for EVERYONE like other countries have? They should be careful who they accuse of being "shithole countries" Look in their own backyard. Take first lady Ivanka. She could teach them how to make champagne popsicles.
