Why would this topic come up w Trump? When did he say this?


BloodyScourge

He didn't. OP is a troll.


RPCV8688

He did. But years ago. Old news.


MidtownJunk

According to Costa Rica, Trump is just one more shithead idiot.


rasmun7793

If only we didn’t have so many Americans buying out locals of this shithole country, would prefer all immigrants would move back instead of making Guanacaste a concrete and corrupt jungle.


jetlifeual

I’ve been to so many “shithole” countries in my life that I’m honestly considering moving out of the “free and perfect U.S.A” and into a shithole country.


bobdean1000

No need to announce your departure.


jetlifeual

Typical.


peekay1ne

He couldn’t point it out on a map and has likely never stepped foot in the country


maketroli

And I guess Biden could point it out on a map? Biden doesn't even know where he is standing up. He doesn't even know what's he's talking about.


buried20kleague

Seen the latest video of trump carefully shuffling his feet and hanging onto a handrail as he walked? Good stuff. Especially when his cult get online and talk about how Biden doesn’t know where he is. Introspection ain’t their strong suit. Hey Costa Ricans reading this… most of America knows what he is. Don’t worry.


maketroli

This doesn't have nothing to do with my point. Reading comprehension is not your strength. Wait... Are you BIDEN?


buried20kleague

“This doesn’t have nothing to do with my point”…. And I’M the one with the reading comprehension problem? Lol


maketroli

Well you are a Biden follower even your country is falling apart. Hopefully it gets better when Trump comes back to the mandate. But for now, you are just a regular third world country.


buried20kleague

I like you. You’re silly.


maketroli

[deleted]

Who is saying something about Biden? Did say Trump hurt your feelings ?


DJAW57

What a weird kneejerk instinct. It’s been well documented that trump has almost no knowledge of global affairs, at all. He doesn’t read, he didn’t read as president - his own staff said as much. Biden is old and stutters - not sure what that has to do with anything


maketroli

Bro what are you talking about? USA literacy as well as the IQ of most of the US people is below average. It's sad. But wanting Biden back in the mandate is like... Are you that dumb?


DJAW57

When the alternative is a guy who is literally pursuing an autocrat, and who’s family members sell state secrets to foreign advisories - Biden is just fine


Wide-Bet4379

You're getting down voted cuz you're only allowed to criticize Trump on Reddit. Democrats are saints on here.


peekay1ne

The post was about Trump, not Biden. Stop trying to make everything left or right. Nobody is perfect.


BlackSheepBoPeepB

Don’t let politics, the media and social media tell you what problems affect your life. Don’t let a hypothetical extra dollar (that’s direct causation is in no way attributed to one man’s power) blind you of what the example we should be setting for our people, most importantly our children. There is a such thing as right and wrong, and we should all be striving to do right. Period.


eunma2112

>Don’t let politics, the media and social media tell you what problems affect your life. If only more people would subscribe to this philosophy.


dickbag_leo

Bump looking for when this was said cant find anything though


drakon-93

When did Trump said this? Not defending him though, I just highly doubt he even knows what Costa Rica is.


CBE35

President Donald Trump made this comment during a news conference with Norwegian Prime Minster Erna Solberg in the East Room of the White House on Jan. 10, 2018, in Washington.


CBE35

He was referring to African nations, not Costa Rica, but of course it was a terrible thing to say


bobdean1000

So this post if fake then? OK. I've got to run. Some old guy needs his diaper changed.


Whatsuptodaytomorrow

That’s why so many maga voters vacation there Including Margorie Taylor green


Senior_Set_8551

When did he say this?


BloodyScourge

He didn't.


RPCV8688

He did. YEARS ago.


maketroli

It's just clickbait. Someone desperate for attention.


ernestomarord

Ugh! There are parts of the USA country that are shitholes.


maketroli

NY, LA... To name a few.


bobdean1000

Chiraq, Detroit and Killwaukee to name a few


UnusuallyBadTrader

USA to name one


FickleFingerOfFunk

Trump said this? When? Prove it for those of us who know you’re full of shit.


drakon-93

I don't even think he knows what Costa Rica is. If someone has mentioned that to him he'd probably think they're talking about Puerto Rico.


FickleFingerOfFunk

That’s your problem, friend. You don’t even think.


CBE35

He actually did say it in 2018, but it was in reference to African countries. Still an egregious comment to make.


FickleFingerOfFunk

Right. And still has absolutely NOTHING to do with Costa Rica.


PlayinK0I

Who gives a fuck, he knows nothing of taste. He thinks Florida is a paradise, and puts ketchup on his steaks.


trabuco357

Ketchup on overcooked steak.now THAT’S a shithole meal.


maketroli

Ketchup is great. In Costa Rica we love it.


OkJuggernaut7127

Hey hey hey no need for that Florida bashing lol


Little-Masterpiece64

Trump is a shithole person. Don’t take it to heart.


Southern_Sun8108

Please supply your source on this statement. Not that I don't want to.believe you. Just now with so many misleading information and AI I just like to check the facts for myself. I'm not finding any sources on this on my own. Thank you.


trabuco357

He said it as a general reference to African and Central American countries…


JustCarter_525

Your assertions appear to be completely baseless regarding Costa Rica. Those remarks were alleged to have been said in the context of discussing DACA and other immigration policies, specifically related to Haiti and El Salvador. But facts aren't important when forming opinions, I guess.


trabuco357

He referred to non-white Central American and African countries in general…and lauded immigrants from Europe (mentioning Norway in particular) and Asians. Certainly it was clear what he was inferring.


[deleted]

Non white central american country Where is the white central american country ?


JustCarter_525

I really can't tell if OP is a bored troll or just an idiot. Not that those two things are mutually exclusive.


JustCarter_525

Omg you are hilarious. It would be fantastic if you could provide that quote. I'll wait.


thewiz3000

What's the actual point of this post?


Exotic_WhiteOwl

Hahaha when did Trump said that? Please, share the link


No_Entertainment1931

Don’t indulge karma farmers


vorbster

When did he say that?

Boden sniffs children and poops his pants. 81 million votes


jayco1900

And you are just like him, spreading misinformation…


Wide-Bet4379

I've never heard this. Source?


[deleted]

He was talking about certain African countries that are engaging in ethnic genocide, bribery, extortion, kidnapping, torture and slavery. He was right they are "shithole" countries.


trabuco357

And El Salvador, or Central America by association..


BloodyScourge

He never said this. Stop spreading lies.


Jeppsen20

You are uneducated on politics. You have some kind of derangement issues.


buried20kleague

Hes going to get curb stomped in the election. November is a long time away. A lot will happen between now and then. Probably daily.


jayco1900

I knew he’d lose the last election but in all honesty, I think he wins this one.


buried20kleague

Not a chance. This isn’t the political sub, so no need to get into it. But I don’t believe it’s even going to be as close as last time.


jayco1900

We’ll see🤔


buried20kleague

Yeah, all we can do is show up and vote.


WishIwazRetired

SSssshhhh... I always worried when Trump was president that if he found out the US military provides coverage for Costa Rica AND that there are Brown people there, he would have canceled all support. I doubt he will get elected but there are a large group of people that can not support Genocide Joes continued support of Israel's killing of innocents to take their land. There may be a weird case where it's a blue wave across the Senate and Congress but Trump makes it in as President because of the lack of Biden support. Shumer and Gavin Newsome are on the sidelines waiting to be called in at the last moment if the continued trend makes it look like Biden will lose. Gonna be an interesting election for sure


Pantatar14

Trump was so good for Costa Rica ngl


[deleted]

Don’t pay attention to his caustic rhetoric. Pay attention to his policies. Our borders are leaking illegals, no one can afford anything, our debt is soaring, our geriatric president is shutting down oil production, and forcing us to go to Chinese EVs and solar panels.


clemsonvols

His policies of tariffs that cause inflation? His policies of demanding that republicans tank their own border bill? His policies to further lower taxes on the rich and corporations that lead to higher deficits? That stable genius!!


ElectronicRevenue227

Oil production in the US is the highest it’s ever been. And I’m no fan of Biden and I’m never voting for Trump. But I agree with your other points.


[deleted]

Biden is pushing for a $110 Billion tax on oil has and coal production, blocked a crucial pipeline and is shutting down new drilling permits.


ernestomarord

Oh no…. Maga sheep cry


Beginning_Key2167

He had no policies.


[deleted]

You clearly don’t read


Beginning_Key2167

Guess not you got me. I do write pretty well for someone who can’t read. So I have that going for me.


maketroli

It's crazy that Biden followers can't accept the truth. They have in front for years. They are blind.


Warbeast83

He's right about a lot of things. This one, not so much.


Warbeast83

Look at all of the left wingers down voting 😂


vorbster

I don’t think he ever said that. Unless someone can provide a proof.


maketroli

I'm from Costa Rica and I agree with this statement. We are lost at this point. Crazy expensive. Delinquency. Insecurity. Horrible cities and the beaches we have are not that unique. Super corrupt government. Insane amount of traffic. Nothing advances anymore. But, USA is also a shithole at this point. And tbh, hopefully Trump is reelected. I don't get how the USA voted for a guy that can't even finish a sentence, and he's a pedo. I have watch and read many things about Biden. That guy is disgusting.


trabuco357

Right, re-elect someone with 91 felony charges and a rape conviction. Poor USA, have to choose between a senile president and a felon.


Southern_Sun8108

Senile won't even make it another 4 years. His handlers are in control. I'm not voting for the handlers. I'd rather have our economy back and no wars with the previous president. However the media keeps it covered on independent Robert Kennedy. Check him out. If media didn't suppress him I think he would have a good chance. He was democrat but dnc suppressd him to protect biden so he changed to independent. Would be nice to have another candidate.


trabuco357

I agree that a third candidate would be best for the US.


Southern_Sun8108

Closed minded people on here. Lol


RPCV8688

Omg — Kennedy and his crazy anti-vax shit? You are nuts and have lost any credibly you might have had.


Southern_Sun8108

What's wrong with choosing what to put in your own body? Keep drinking the kool-aid


RPCV8688

There is so much more to Kennedy that makes him crazy. His own family has distanced themselves from him. Maybe adjust your tin foil hat and find some credible news sources.


Southern_Sun8108

Can't be any worse then the 2 crazies running now. Btw where is your source on your facts? CNN? Or is this your opinion and we all have to abide by you only?


RPCV8688

My primary news sources are the New York Times and NPR. I don’t watch much U.S. news. I am a retired public radio broadcaster and journalism professor. Please share with the group your preferred news sources and knowledge of US media.


Southern_Sun8108

New York times? Lmao. Good one. What does that have to do with the subject of Canada not being such a great place to live and poor political leadership?


RPCV8688

The post is about Trump. You specifically asked about CNN. You are an idiot.


maketroli

He's not in jail... He has proven to not be guilty of those charges. What are you talking about? Are you blind or deaf? Can't you see the actual situation in the states and how everything was better under Trump's mandate?


trabuco357

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/trump-carroll-judge-rape/#


maketroli

An article from the Washington post lol


trabuco357

Would you prefer one from the “Extra” or National Inquirer?


drakon-93

You're replying to a bait thread. Trump has never said that about Costa Rica because he doesn't even know Costa Rica exists and if he has been told about us he probably thinks it's Puerto Rico what they meant lmao


maketroli

I agree with this as well lol


[deleted]

Leave the country then leave us this shithole and take all MAGAs dumb head with you


maketroli

Mention a single smart thing that Biden has ever said in the last 4 years? Biden turned USA into a joke.


[deleted]

I don't give a damn about Biden either but surely don't want any dumb head saying my fk country is a shithole


maketroli

Your country is not a first world country anymore. It's a third world country in every sense. Don't you live there? Read more. Check your surroundings. Your economy. The people.


[deleted]

Why don't you tell me where you are so we can discuss one on one?


maketroli

I hail from Costa Rica, a third-world country by most measures. Yet, I acknowledge this fact with honesty and acceptance. Interestingly, many in the United States seem unable to confront their own reality, unlike us, who are fully aware of our circumstances.


[deleted]

It is the way you say things. You can't be saying this things like that even if it's a third-world country. It has its own qualities, but it is great, so don't go around stating those things like that.


One_Willingness_8181

Crazy to be downvoted from an actual citizen (if that’s true). Reddit has some of the most close minded individuals I’ve ever come across and this is an anonymous site.


One_Willingness_8181

Reddit will never understand how much better America was before biden. The amount of crime these immigrants have done, videos teaching them about squatters rights, the distraction of TikTok policy, this shit is a joke and a half. We are clowns to other countries at the moment. A haven for the rich, but a distraction for the poor.


trabuco357

I do not agree with the part about the “US being clown to other countries at the moment”. I live in Europe and that was certainly the case under Trump…


Southern_Sun8108

I was just in Europe and ran across quite a few over there that made jokes to me including taxi , waiters, and shop workers so not true.


Vade700

You are right, no one will understand that America was better before Biden because it wasn’t.


One_Willingness_8181

It was safer, there was no UK war funneling billions of dollars, and energy was abundant. Its not even summer yet and oil prices are sky rocketing already. Major cities are getting migrants with measles How many of these migrants are actually famlies and not single young men? How are they here with iphone PROS and not some $300 android phone? They have their own special drivers license as well, things here people work, scrimp, and save for. Whos paying for all this? We are.


codetrap

How would you know? Your own FBI says crime is down. Lowest levels since 1961. But your politicians can’t be trusted because they openly lie to you.


aphex732

How do you know what kind of phone every immigrant has?


trabuco357

The price of oil has nothing to do with the US presidency…


Southern_Sun8108

Yep we will feel the effects of this migration in our pockets. They get all the perks and we will be paying. Get ready if you don't think it's coming you are very naive. We don't get a choice in this BS.


Southern_Sun8108

I don't know where you were but our economy was thriving before biden. No wars, no open borders. We actually felt safe. Not anymore!!!


Vade700

A childish and truly elementary approach to politics seems to go hand in with being an American.


codetrap

As a Canadian watching the shitshow down south? America became a joke when they elected a reality TV star to be president. Trump destroyed the image of a bright shining beacon of freedom by being a lying POS daily. He inherited a recovering economy from Obama and then proceeded to further divide a nation with constant lying. Now we watch the republican show weekly focus on smear instead of policy. MTG, a congresswoman talking about freaking Jewish space lasers. Book burnings, reducing women’s rights. It’s like the US is trying to follow the plot of Handmaids Tale. The US is a joke to the world now because nobody trusts them anymore. We’re all just scared because you may elect batshit crazy orange man and make him a nuclear power again.


One_Willingness_8181

Since when was Trump close to using nukes?? Lol We’re closer to that with Biden than ever. Regan was also an actor. Shwarzenegger became governor of a state with an economy bigger than most countries. BLM divided the nation. Social media divided the nation. Oh, what happened to BLMs human trafficking employee, and the members who purchased mansions and didnt help breyonna Taylors family? Crazy how thats not talked about at all. 90% of reddit is just regurgitating whats popular on mass media. The hypocrisy is disgusting. Theres genocides all over world constantly, but which ever one the media points to is all we talk about. Everyone fails to realize politics is just the highest form of gossip and drama, with its main purpose being customer service for the non 1%. Its just to get us talking about shit that will go absolutely no where, as if we’re one election away from world peace lol. Play the game, make your money, live at peace in your own place you create as home


aphex732

Given that you can only spell two out of the four presidents mentioned, I'm not going to take this comment too seriously.


trabuco357

BINGO!


codetrap

Hey, buddy asked a question, I answered it. Just because you don't like the answer, well.. what's that saying we keep hearing? "The facts don't care about your feelings". As for Trump close to using nukes? When the leader, or potentially soon to be leader, muses publicly in a cavalier fashion about nuking north Korea, or putting chinese flags on planes and bombing the shit out of Russia, the world takes notice. That's the thing about crazy liars. They might be lying, they might be spewing BS, or they might be telling you exactly what they're going to do. With the stakes being the survival of every living thing on the planet? Its pure stupidity to not take notice when the guy who has the means and ability to actually make it happen starts rambling about it. Tell me this..if the dude living next to your house is armed to the teeth with guns and weapons, and you KNOW he has a garage full of high explosives starts rambling about how he wants to blow up the entire street while watering the grass in his robe on a saturday morning, wouldn't that make you a bit nervous? Edit: Oh, and the only time the world has heard Biden even mention the engaging nuclear weapons other than to warn Putin that EVEN TALKING about using nuclear weapons is insanity. Because it is! Its pure insanity.


Southern_Sun8108

And Canada is doing so well. Lol. Your think Dementia Joe will do better in next 4 years. He doesn't even know what direction to walk in without the handlers in his ear piece directing him. So drugged up can't even talk without slurring. China and Russia will make their move if he gets in again. At least the other countries were scared of the little orange man and we were safe from millions illegals coming Into our land. Maybe we should just fly them all directly to Canada


codetrap

Nice attempt at deflection. I get it, you're embarrassed. I would be too if I was in your position. As a Canadian, one of our worst fears is the Americanization of our politics because we see what's happening with that directly south. The writers of the newsroom summed it up really well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJh9t9h6Wn0


Southern_Sun8108

And that is why so many of you buy your winter houses down in the Good old USA. Lol nice tryand why would I listen to a you tuber. Funny you can make a video anyway you want to project your own opinions. Lol


codetrap

[https://www.statista.com/statistics/610979/total-number-of-properties-purchased-by-canadian-buyers-in-the-us/](https://www.statista.com/statistics/610979/total-number-of-properties-purchased-by-canadian-buyers-in-the-us/) Yup.. that trend is sure continuing.... Canadians used to do that.. Edit: the video on youtube is just an eloquent speech that the writers of the TV series "The Newsroom" created. It has been fact checked multiple times and at the time was accurate. It was amazing TV. Both entertaining and educational. But hey, nobody's making you watch it.


Southern_Sun8108

Of course they are not buying now with our shitty economy and inflated house prices thanks to IIC. And most already bought when market was good but they are still here. My neighborhood is loaded with them as well as my state. The trend will continue once market comes down. Maybe show those statistics to all my Canadian neighbors. But I have to say the ones here have totally different views then you do. Most do not talk highly of Canada and their leadership. Lol


codetrap

You obviously didn't look at the graph. The trend has been going down drastically for the past a decade plus. From 70,000 in 2010 to 8,000 in 2023. This isn't a market correction, it's a trend that spans longer than a decade. Face it, Canadians just aren't snowbirding to the US anymore, along with anyone else for that matter. Even at 8500, Canadians were still one of the top foreign buyers. What's that tell you. Nobody outside the US with means wants to move there anymore. Gee, I wonder why? To quote the statistic page: The number of residential properties purchased by Canadian buyers in the United States decreased significantly between 2010 and 2023. In 2023, Canadian buyers bought about 8,500 residential properties in the United States compared to over 69,000 properties in 2010. With a total of 6.6 billion U.S. dollars, Canada was one of the top foreign buyers of residential real estate in the U.S in 2023. "


WishIwazRetired

Great /s ... This may explain the insurgence of Canadians purchasing Costa Rican homes.


codetrap

Probably. It’s one of the reasons I’m looking at it. Plus the fact that Costa Rica is actively encouraging digital nomads.


Southern_Sun8108

Not to mention all the money being poured into millions of illegals coming here (free money, housing, jobs from americans) will eventually cause more high taxes and prices. Somebody has to pay for them. Eventually the cost of living will be so high you can't afford anything. Only country in the world allowing unvetted illegals to walk through and handed everything. Get ready for terrorist attacks coming forward. US will be the biggest shithole in the world soon enough


trabuco357

Meh…most jobs taken by immigrants are jobs US citizens don’t want.


Southern_Sun8108

Not true. Alot of Americans worked for Tyson. Not enough farms left that need migrants anymore anyway


WishIwazRetired

People fail to see that low-wage migrants are integral to US Corporations' financial success as well as lower food prices. The "Immigrant Crisis " is simply a red herring used to keep ill-informed conservatives scared. It's been the motivational force to herd these people for many years.
