So you arent allowed to call countries shitholes even if they are.

You're allowed to call countries whatever you want. Being racist is completely allowed - the president does it all the time (while at the same time, bizarrely, singing North Korea's praises, which is in much worse shape than any African country).

Havent looked into the case in detail

Then don't bother commenting on it until you do, because otherwise you're just admitting that you're pulling excuses out of your ass.

it's probably more of a sense of frustration at them for constantly talking about how horrible america is and lashing out at him personally.

Him attacking them certainly was and he easily could have done that in a million different ways that weren't racist (as you say, the president should be above all that, but Trump isn't, so let's deal with degrees here instead). Saying "go back to where you come from", however, is mad racist, *especially* when 75% of the people you're talking about were American born and raised, since it implies "You're not white, so you must not be from here and should go somewhere else instead", which has all sorts of ugly historical connotations.

He was referring to there being a significant drug and sex trafficking problem

Then he should have said that.

But he didn't. He said - exact quote here - "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They're sending us not the right people."

If someone later tried to retcon that into being Trump talking about sex and drug cartels, that's just a snow job, plain and simple (which, bizarrely, implies that Mexico is deliberately sending those into the US and also that Donald Trump thinks some cartel members and sex traffickers are good people).

I'd probably assume that a lot of Mexicans wouldnt like me

Dude, can you not read? The judge was American! Not Mexican - American. He was born in East Chicago, Indiana and has lived and worked in the US his entire life. He's no more Mexican than I am Ukrainian, on account of the fact that that's where my great-grandparents on my mother's side immigrated from.

Pretty sure you're talking about his comments about MS-13 and if you object to them being called animals then wtf bro

You wouldnt believe how bad these people are. These arent people, these are animals, and were taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate thats never happened before.
I find it curious how Trump has never labelled any white criminals "animals", or said they're not people. Don't you find that curious?
