President Trump is the most coarsely racist person to hold his office since Woodrow Wilson or even Andrew Johnson, and it's never more obvious than when he's talking about Africa. You don't need to read between the lines to understand what Trump meant by describing several African countries (as well as Haiti and El Salvador) as "shitholes," or when he groused that Nigerians would never "go back to their huts" once they had seen the United States.
