As Haiti descended into violent anti-government street clashes last fall, then-U.S. presidential contender Joe Biden, fresh off a campaign visit to Little Haiti, took to Twitter to slam Donald Trump. “The Trump Administration is abandoning the Haitian people while the country’s political crisis is paralyzing that nation,” Biden wrote. “As president, I would press for dialogue to prevent further violence and instability.” Now as Haiti’s political turmoil deepens, the nation’s crisis is quickly becoming one of his administration’s first foreign policy tests. There are worrying signs that President Jovenel Moïse is becoming Latin America and the Caribbean’s newest strongman.

Ask Clinton what happened to all the help he promised Haiti when he was President. It was a matter of ask not what you can do for Haiti; ask what Haiti can do for you and your crooked Rodham brother-in-laws. Billions were suppose to go to help Haiti. Maybe it ended up in the Clinton Foundation.

One suspects the 80,00-100,000 pipeline workers just now unemployed agree with Chairman Xiden's Haiti concern.

Now we need to check and see what "business interests" Hunter Biden has going on in Haiti. If "the big guy" is worried about some crisis, it's a sure thing his family is making money from it.

Is Joe warming up his Haiti First policy? We know American workers are not at the top of his list of policy concerns. Day-o!

Better send the Clintons out for some global fund raising.

A "strongman" is loosely defined as a dictator we find useful. When I look at this guy's actions, I can see why El Presidente Jose Banana wants to help him out.

Wait! Wait! Master B. Clinton is going to create 7,441,309 jobs in Haiti - - as soon as Hillary's brother gets his gold mine working.
Be patient.

Ignoring Haiti is an excellent plan. And keep all the Haitians in Haiti, too.

At least he's only suggesting a "dialogue", which means nothing will happen for 3 3/4 years.

The $4 million Politician Privilege wedding of Web Hubbell's daughter Chelsea Clinton's to hedge fund fraudster Marc Mezvinsky was funded through money reallocated from the Bush-Clinton Haitian Relief Fund, if vast right-wing conspiracy theories are to be believed. All good New Americans disavow such rumors in full.

Hey Joe! Did Hillary Clinton tell you to mention Haiti? I know you couldn't find it on a map.

Why is this sentence in the present tense?
'The Trump Administration is abandoning the Haitian people.'

Haiti could be 12 feet deep in steak and potatoes, and the people would still be starving: that's how their political bosses want it. No amount of outside aid from any country will fix it.
You want it fixed? Take it over and run it right. Not willing to do that? Then drop the issue, because nothing else will work.

Haiti has been a basket case country since the Woodrow Wilson administration. Instead of intervening again, I propose that we air drop several thousand liberal college students so that they can apply their expertise and show us how to make Haiti a prosperous country. I also propose that AOC be appointed the leader of the project. Her degree in economics should turn them around in no time.

Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, said they would raise money to help Haiti. No money to Haiti. Instead it is rumored that the money raised went to the Clinton Foundation aka Bush-Clinton Hatian Relief Fund. I've never heard GWB wonder where the money was spent...not in Haiti. Prez Biden better check his facts about who took care of Haiti.

When millions of votes are made up or switched live on TV, there is NO difference between the once mighty USA and Haiti. NONE. You think you have any of those rights you used to love, forget it. THIS administration and it's blueshirts, along with the media, can do whatever they want. The greatest Depression ever is on the doorstep and evil criminals are in charge. A sane populace would hold them accountable for the STEAL, serve out actual justice and put this country on a war footing, because that is what this is. China didn't have to bomb Pearl Harbor, they just used the greed of politicians and the gutlessness of everyone who took an oath to stop them from what they just did to the nation.

Send in the Social Workers!
Appoint AOC to lead the effort, per Chance232's comment.
Add in the rest of her buddies, that Tlaib broad, and the other two, also Maxine Waters, Revruund Jackson, Al 'Shakedown' Sharpton, CryptKeeper Pelosi and Chuck-the Schmuck Schumer. Give 'em the Cash that the Clintons stole from the Haiti relief project, and let it percolate for 20 years.... Problem solved. (That is, the USA's problems by sending the troublemakers to Haiti for 20 years.)
