It's an accurate description. It's bleak: Liquor stores, cheap Chinese takeaways, fried chicken stores, dollar stores and bodegas on every block.

I've lived and worked on 4 different continents. Seen plenty of shitholes. It has nothing to do with race. It has everything to environment.

Trump wasn't being racist. He was being politically incorrect and very undiplomatic.

Very "Unpresidential".

He's playing to his base. And why wouldn't he? That's who put him in the White House.

And mark my words, that's who'll put him back in the White House in 2020.
He plays to the truth. The country knows those countries are shitholes, but the President is expected to lie.
