I heard that on the news today. Was thinking why would anyone from Norway
want to come to this Sh*hole country now with its Sh*head leader and
leadership?
Norway is #1 in

a
<https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2017-03-20/norway-ranked-worlds-happiest-country-of-2017>s
the world’s happiest country.

US dropped to #14 last year  “…An analysis of the country included in the
report cites “  severe deterioration of America’s educational system,”
increased
mortality rates, climbing inequality, and more perceived corruption of
government and business.

U.S. leaders, it suggests, remain too focused on economic growth, ignoring
the "deepening divisions and angst in American society."

"The United States offers a vivid portrait of a country that is looking for
happiness in 'all the wrong places'," the report says. “The country is
mired in a roiling social crisis that is getting worse.” …”
I was also thinking no wonder China is heading up the world investing in
these ’S’ countries to make them better, more vibrant, with infrastructure
and education investment. helps the giver and the receiver - and the US
sinks further behind.

Trump attacks protections for immigrants from 'sh*thole' countries in Oval
Office meeting

  President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the
Oval Office when they floated restoring protections for
immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as
part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to two people
briefed on the meeting.  "Why are we having all these people
from shithole countries come here?" Trump said, according to
these people, referring to African countries and Haiti. He
then suggested that the United States should instead bring
more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister
he met yesterday.  The comments left lawmakers taken aback,
according to people familiar with their reactions.
