ESA Rebukes President Trump [Jan 12, 2018, 10:54 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Entertainment Software Association has stepped into the fray with President
Trump after his
widely reported comments about immigration where the POTUS allegedly decried
those who emigrate from "shithole" countries.
Polygon has the following response from the ESA:
"America’s greatness is built on our diversity," reads the ESA’s statement. "The president’s repulsive comments undermine the fundamental values of who we are as a country. There is no place in our society for this type of backward thinking, and we condemn it in the strongest terms."

Nobody would really deny that they're "shithole" countries. My problem with Trump saying it?
1) These words came the POTUS during an official meeting with lawmakers (it's just basic human decency and tact, but I guess you guys set the bar so low for Trump...)
2) The implication that people from failed states aren't worth immigrating, it really shouldn't matter where you come from. People from one race or country are not "inherently" lazy or stupid. Back in the 1800s, Germans were seen as dull. Before WW2, Japanese were seen as lazy.
3) It was reported that Trump instead suggested we open more immigration to Norway. I shouldn't have to spell out what was implied - whether Trump meant it or not. It SOUNDS bad.
The point of our President is that they are supposed to be the BEST of us. When they publicly make these kind of remarks it shows the U.S.A. in a ugly light. Our country is supposed to be better than this. If you ignore the distasteful way our President speaks because he is passing the legislation that you approve, then you have to accept the blowback from his behavior also. But, that doesn't mean that the ones who oppose him for his ways is wrong either.
