I can't wait to hear what he has to say about Switzerland after Davos ... 
As I'm not on twitter, I totally rely on you folks. | | | | | He'll say "I love Swaziland, great chocolate, did you know they make chocolate there? not a lot of people know that, and some amazing clocks, mad clocks, totally cuckoo. Cuckoo like the fake news reports of my inauguration crowd size. Great people the Dutch."

I remember having called Haiti a "hell-hole".
I wouldn't say it's racist. Just vulgar.
There's a pretty low level of solidarity in US society (one could argue at what point you could stop counting it as a "society"), the outcry about not taking too many immigrants from poor 3rd-world countries is a bit hypocritical.

| | | | | That is because they have their own, and too many at that.

To be honest, I think the Independent has been rabidly anti-Trump for a long time so I would take anything they publish regarding Trump with a pinch of salt.

And he has called a few developing countries sh**holes. | | | | | Six stabbing deaths in London this month already due to black on black crime.
Perhaps he cancelled because London has become another shit hole?

The man knows his stuff when it comes to premium locations and the previous Grosvenor Sq, Mayfair address is as good as it gets. |

Perhaps he cancelled because London has become another shit hole? | | | | | He didn't cancel because of black on black crime, which while it is a problem, it is not a huge problem. There is probably much more unprovoked violence commited by the white population. I am not sure why you have once more chosen to inflame the debate by bringing it down to your bigoted level.
London might be a shithole, but its one of the greatest shitholes in the world and as a Londoner I can take that.
Calling developing countries shitholes is not diplomatic or statesmanly in anyway. Especially when more then 14% of the US is living on or below the poverty line. It show disregard to nations that would desperately like to attain living and health standards of the west, but due to many factors are being held back.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | PC gone mad | | | | | Not at all, thats nothing to do with being PC. How is it diplomatic to call a developing country a sh*thole? How does that help anybody? Its disgusting language and shows absolute contempt and disprespect to those countries.
PC gone mad is not calling Christmas Christmas or banning Tin Tin comics.
Being a prize plumb Ahole must just come naturally.

What a strange notion.
