People Are Pointing Out The Same Thing Over Trump’s Alleged 'S**thole' Remark

US President Donald Trump has (again) caused an almighty shitstorm after, what his supporters would say, he 'told it like it is'. During a bipartisan meeting, the leader of America reportedly said he would prefer immigrants from Norway rather than 'shithole' countries in Africa and the Caribbean.

Unsurprisingly, it's drawn criticism from just about everyone with a keyboard and an internet connection.

But if you have a look on social media, a lot of people are highlighting an interesting point about what Mr Trump allegedly said.

People are happily pointing out that if you compare America and Norway - the Scandinavian country wins on virtually everything.

They have free healthcare, the highest happiness level according to the OECD index (whatever that means), higher life expectancy, low crime rate, paid parental leave, subsidised childcare, more gender equal political representation, a larger per capita GDP, shorter working hours, five weeks of paid holidays and tuition-free tertiary education.

Commentators suggest Trump used Norway as an example of a non-shithole country only because he recently met with the country's President Erna Solberg.

Citizens from these countries which Trump allegedly called a shithole have also been posted on social media their achievements.

They illustrate that while their countries don't have the same GDP or economic prowess, it doesn't mean they don't have incredibly hard-working, dedicated, intelligent, caring and motivated people living there.

The US President has tried to cover his tracks on his wildly divisive comments, posting on Twitter: "The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!

"Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said 'take them out'. Made up by Dems.

"I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!"
