Not replying to anyone in particular.
I have read several headlines about liberal media members acting upset at what Trump said. I bet that many of them would have said the same thing if they were told that they were being sent to those countries for an assignment.
As to the comment. I think it is possible to call those countries "shitholes" without implying that the citizens are shitholes as well. However, his comment <edit is in poor taste and should not have been said> and was such that people could interpret the remark as they have. Though some of the same people would be making excuses if it had come from the mouth of Bill Clinton or Obama.
Most career politicians know that they have to choose their words carefully, and it becomes second nature for them as they know that one misspoken word or phrase could end their aspirations. Trump obviously doesn't care about such things.
