Just a quick note on how Miami’s Haitian-American community is reacting after having been lied to by the current occupant in the oval office. As you recall, tRump campaigned in Little Haiti wooing the voters of not only Haitians, but also Cubans and Venezuelans in separate campaign stops.
Trump had harsh words about accusations against Hillary Clinton's failure after the 2010 earthquake at the Little Haiti campaign stop. His tactics apparently worked according to an article in the Huffington post shortly after the election, titled Did Trump’s Visit to Little Haiti Help Him Win Florida?
Our always classy leader told Cubans that if he was elected, he was going to reverse President Barack Obama's decision to reestablish relations with the island just 90 miles from Florida’s coast.
Dear leader promised to help the "oppressed" Venezuelans.
And it was at a campaign rally later in the day in Miami that this racist told his supporters, referring to Hillary Clinton, "I think her bodyguards should drop all weapons. Disarm immediately, take their guns away, let's see what happens to her." What a revolting human being!
Alex Harris of the Miami Herald writes:
Miami’s Haitian-American community leaders planned to spend Friday remembering the hundreds of thousands of lives lost in the horrific 2010 earthquake on the island. Instead, they spent the afternoon reacting to reports that President Donald Trump referred to their nation as a “shithole” and wanted to exclude Haitians from any special protected status.
“Isn’t it sad,” Marleine Bastien, executive director of Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami, a prominent Haitian women’s group, told a crowd of several dozen. “We should be here remembering our brothers and sisters, but instead we’re answering to President Trump.”
Activists marched from the Toussaint L’Ouverture Monument to the Little Haiti Cultural Center waving signs that said “President Trump is a racist!!!,” “Respect Haiti,” and “We will not forget.”
snipAbout 300,000 people died in the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake, and millions were displaced. The immense damage that the 7.0-magnitude quake caused to the island’s infrastructure and economy led to the designation for Haitians of a U.S. immigration protection known as Temporary Protected Status. More than 50,000 Haitian TPS recipients live in South Florida, which is home to the largest concentration of Haitians in the nation.
Trump revoked that protection, which officially ends on July 22, stoking anger and anxiety in the community that was only worsened by what he reportedly said on the subject in a meeting Thursday.
