(Maybe Trump should invite Hillary to the meeting so she can pledge her "charitable" fortune to upgrading the shithole to a public toilet with indoor plumbing.)

Haiti’s government said Thursday night that they “vehemently condemn” President Trump’s comments referring to their country as a “shithole” and requested to speak to a US official about the incident.

The country’s Ambassador to the United States said Trump was either “misinformed or he is miseducated” and they summoned a US representative to explain the remarks to Haitian officials.

“Haitians fought along US soldiers in the Revolutionary War and we continue to be great contributors to American society,” the ambassador, Paul Altidor, told MSNBC.

Altidor added that he believed the inflammatory comments made by Trump were “based on stereotypes.”

“Either the president has been misinformed or he is miseducated,” Altidor said.

The former prime minister of Haiti also blasted Trump’s remarks as “a new low” in a tweet Thursday night.

“SHAME ON TRUMP! The world is witnessing a new low today with this #ShitholeNations remark!” the ex-leader, Laurent Lamothe, wrote.

“Totally unacceptable! uncalled for moreover it shows a lack a respect and IGNORANCE never seen before in the recent history of the US by any President! Enough is enough!!”
