Is France's Emmanuel Macron based in…?
The French president made a comment that if President-elect Donald Trump said the same thing, the entire international media would call him a vicious white supremacist. Of course, there is no such thing as a simple observational truth. As President Trump pointed out, Haiti is actually a “shit hole.” And President Macron seems to agree.
“It is the Haitians who allowed drug trafficking and killed Haiti,” President Macron explained during a state visit to Brazil. (Watch the Daily Caller documentary “Lawless” here)
“The prime minister was great. I defended him and they sacked him. It's terrible. It's terrible. You can't replace him. They're completely stupid,” he continued. Ta.
In a recent display of neo-colonial arrogance, President Macron accused Haitians of “killing Haiti” and called them “stupid.”

First, the idea that President Macron is publicly calling Haitians “stupid” is both irrational and distorted. He says ousting the Prime Minister is politically stupid – obviously. And there is no shortage of political stupidity in his country, either.
Second, what he says is obviously true. The left wants to blame France for today's dire situation in Haiti. But France neglected Haiti more than 200 years ago, and despite decades of untold billions in humanitarian aid poured into it, the country remains little more than it started. It's getting better and probably a lot worse. During the same period, China transitioned from a colonial hovel to the most technologically advanced dictatorship in the history of the world. Israel has gone from barren desert to nuclear power, and even the former slave territory of the Cayman Islands has become an international banking haven.
What is Haiti's excuse?
