19. I've lived in plenty of shitholes in my life, all of them in the good old USA

And they are shitholes because they were full of right-wing assholes, who never wanted to pay enough taxes to make things work they way they should, so roads were bad, libraries and schools underfunded.

So, yeah, "shithole" is definitely in the eye of the beholder, but Trump meant it in a racist way.
