The Caribbean and Bahamas(Caricom) must not only speak with one voice but these countries must unite in becoming less dependent on the United States for food and other basic necessities. Most of these countries were more food producers before the 1980’s when illegal drugs and tourism invaded the shores and caused many to abandon the fields for an ‘easier ‘ life. The thing about Donald Trump is he doesn’t believe in masking his feelings or not expressing his thoughts. And the unfortunate thing is that while Trump’s thoughts and feelings may not be reflective of most of America, it is a reflection of many who hold power in that country. Remember they said Black Americans were only 2/3 a human being and used this description to deny them the right to vote. It wasn’t by accident that they kept the slave trade going for over 400 years and even after the abolishment black people still spent over 100 years in the US being treated like dogs and fighting for equality. So Trumps words is the sounding of the trumpet. A call not to seek retaliation. But to find strength in numbers and become distant and independent of the former slave masters who apparently are still bitter, even the rich and powerful ones.

Sorry, John. You "true Bahamians" are the main suspects of ruining the Bahamas. Why are you blaming foreigners of "owning" this country when YOU people had 44 years of independence.

The majority governments over the years screwed up and squandered every chance of development, along with the Medellin Cartel that opened the Bahamians for drug-running and they could get away with it. Now young Bahamians will choose to be gangbangers and drug-runners more than being actual citizens. Now there's 52 gangs running high schools, and we're playing the blame game instead.

We Bahamians chose to be a narco-state, not a full one as of yet, but eventually, it will happen.

Who said Black Americans were only 2/3 a human being. I'm a Blonde American, very white. That is the first time I've ever heard that statement. Your a prejudice man, you seem to be bitter about something. You are wrong about some that you judge. My mom was married to a Bahamian, and we nor our friends have ever judged someone for their color. I do judge people on their actions.

Race and Religion are mankind's game.

If The United states is to go on into the future as a great nation, it must shed the racial stereotype and views of the past century. Trump views sadly reflect the views of many far right citizens of that country. Racism today may not be as open and blatant as in the past but it is still being expounded in decision makings from the board room to the cops on the streets. On this the very day we salute the great works of MLK we are constantly reminded that progress made so far is but a drop in the bucket and one of his quotes remain relevent today and forever and it goes like this "Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and miss guided men " "All men are created equal"

Trump and his bigoted, racist comments are the very essence of the "ugly American." He has a base to appeal to and they are mostly ignorant white people and dividing people is one of his trademarks. He does it so well! He is a dangerous buffoon who should be impeached hopefully before he starts WW3. He has created more terrorists and people who want to kill Americans than ISIS ever could. Remember, this is the sh**hole who said skin heads and KKK members were "good people!"

The question is: Is Haiti a shithole country???? ......... The answer is: Definitely YES.

The Haitian Government has done NOTHING for 200 years to make it any better.

The Bible says the Clintons were the killers of the children. Not only did they promote abortion, but Clinton passed laws that caused many minority youth to go to jail for long periods of time for minor crimes. Small amounts of drug possession. Many of these young men were used in experiments to develop drugs that turned humans into super predators. While the drugs were originally intended for use in the army, much was given to young minority youth on the streets that caused them to turn on each other and kill up each other. President Obama’s was the president who stood in the gap. During his presidency He finished or continued the work of the Clintons and she, a modern day, Jezibel, hungry for power, had a lot of influence over Obama’s White House. Donald Trump has been described as ‘the warrior ‘ and also ‘the crazy one.’ According to prophecy he will pick ‘war’ with every one and his purpose is ‘ to drain’ the swamp. To expose a lot of the dirty under workings in Washington and America.The ‘no vote’ of blacks and other minoritories helped him get elected and stop the reign of wicked Queen Hillary, who had plans to send the army into places like Chicago and kill up many young people suspected of being in gangs and throw many others in jail. Trump defeated Hillary and hopefully it is the end of her wicked reign. But yet she is not giving up and still wants back in the White House. So with caution and faith one has to wait and see what will happen next. Trump may be loud mouth and offensive to many but time will tell what he’s good for.

The Bible says the Clintons were killers of the children. They weren't behind legalizing abortion. That still wouldn't make them killers. Are you ok? I've read a lot of your post and you make some good points, but you just seem angry.

Donald Trump and corporate America elites could care less about the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the African Union. They have relinquished power to govern themselves to WTO and can bleat like goats until the sun rises in the west!

The Caribbean is blessed with a temperate climate and the ability to feed ourselves, are the owners of the most sort after cruise and vacation destinations in the region. Africa is by far the richest continent on the planet, so why are both regions so dependent on foreign aid and in such a mess?

Why haven't CARICOM come together with one voice to raise the region away from dependence on America and the EU? Why has CARICOM allowed corporate conglomerates to take tourism away from them with unregulated mega cruise ships that erode stay over visitors to the detriment of local hotel & resort businesses? Why haven't CARICOM implemented inter-Caribbean and Latin American trade to keep hard currencies in the region and uplift our people?

How is it that Africa with all its gold, oil, diamonds, precious metals and minerals is mainly a basket case of failed states?

Similarly, how is it that the Bahamas with vast reserves of oil and aragonite, our people are marginalized, uneducated, thousands are unemployed and going to bed hungry while only a small handful enjoy the riches of the country?

Both regions are riddled with corruption at the expense of the people that seek shelter in the United States!

Donald Trump is simply crass enough to speak his mind whereas the others maintain "political correctness", however, the results are the same. No respect for countries that sell out their own people!

Don't blame Donald Trump for calling corrupt shithole countries the shitholes that they are. They are far from paradise for 95% of the populations.

CARICOM and the African Union need to look at the "man in the mirror" and follow Saudi Arabia's lead in rooting out corruption to raise their countries and people from "shithole" status!

I am no fan of Trump, but he's right about this one!!!

The foremost SOLUTION should Start with the strong teachings and unwavering belief and faith in Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour.
The nation has to come together and renounce Voodoo, Baron Samedi, idol worship yet even the majority who go to Church 65% practice voodoo.
Start by asking forgiveness nationally for making a pact with the devil for 1804 iindependence success.
It doesnt matter what political, or other solution to try, it will be doomed to failure without Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Didn't you forget Africans? Because we used voodoo before the slave masters made us forget and forced into Christianity. They were happy before the Christian Zealots enslaved and changed our religion. Don't get me wrong, Christianity in the hands of the disciples weren't perfect, but even they knew that other people around the world were happy regardless of religion and never bothered to force anyone to worship Christianity.

But instead. The Pope and his Templars used the Bible to thump around, kill and destroy everything and everyone who didn't believe their faith. Muslims were their first victims, and Africans were next on the list in later history. All made to ensure power and domination over people.

Haiti chose to be happy with their religion, and instead, forced to fight back and gotten screwed over with France. Now people telling them that their way of life that they were born with is the cause of their problems? Conservative Christians should learn remorse and respect for other religions around the world.

the anglo-saxon american is also an immigrant, but they seem to conveniently ignore that point. the true americans, live on the reservation. everyone else should sit small and keep quiet regarding who should or should not be in America. in any event, the age of Trump is upon the world for better or worse and there is no amount of statements, protests, etc., that can do anything about it.. mexicans, blacks, palestinians, North Korea, no climate change, etc., the list just keeps getting longer.. the doomsday clock must be awfully damned close to midnight these days..

Trump is large and in charge.......regardless of the protests, condemnations, blasts, etc. He told everyone his agenda is America first, yet people are still rearing up when he acts on that......why????He never once misrepresented himself.......he lies, yes......but what you see, is what you get. Other governments, like the Haitian government should start the same......Haitians first.....and work harder to take care of their own people,not get mad at Trump because he doesn't want to talk care of your people..okay.....I know I'm going to get blasted on this blog today..

Stillwaters your right. We elected him because we wanted change. He is doing exactly what he promised. It is Democrats that were extremely pro Hillary that criticize everything Trump says and does. They still haven't gotten over their loss. If Trump made the comment about certain immigrants it was more of a statement that they drain our society, because they don't want to work. He wants immigrants that add to our society, by getting a job and providing for themselves.
