As we previously reported, President Donald Trump allegedly referred to countries like Haiti as “shitholes,” which drew an extremely negative reaction from many people. The people of Haiti likewise weren’t amused, as evidenced by Conan O’Brien’s recent trip there. In a video segment for Conan, he showed himself with Haitians who had some bad things to say about Trump for his comments.

He said: “We’re being told through our interpreter that when Americans come here they only shoot the bad things, which obviously is not what we want to.

O’Brien made the decision to visit the country after Trump’s alleged comments. He told the locals that the “reason I have come to Haiti is because I and a lot of Americans are angry at what President Trump said, so I wanted to come here and show positive, great beautiful things about Haiti.”

One woman replied: “Make sure Trump knows that you guys are the ones who have bullied us, and have caused us to be in the state that we’re in.
