IF those countries are "shitholes", it's because of things T___p SUPPORTS.

The shitholiness in any of those places(if shitholes they are) is caused by years of austerity, years of privatization, years of the wealthy buying political domination and using that domination to line their pockets-it's because of everything T___p wants to impose on the world.

T___pism is the reason for the shitholicity.

And if more T___pism is inflicted, more shitholes will be dug, and more will overflow with fresh, steaming piles of greed.

To repurpose the words of Sinead O'Connor "Fight the REAL enemy!"

democratically elected leaders in those countries to install puppet regimes that provide sweetheart deals to US companies that drain the national wealth of those countries.

That's when we don't straight-up invade them, bomb the shit out of them, steal their oil and then overcharge them for no-bid contractors to rebuild all the shit we just bombed.
