Arguably, yes. Although the problem with Trump’s comment is that it was bigoted and malicious IN ADDITION to elitist and naive. Also, only one of the people you quoted was a sitting POTUS engaged in a high-stakes policy negotiation.

I just pray that we never have a Democratic president who is as morally corroded and indefensible as Donald Trump. Lewis is as decent and intellectually honest as any conservative out there, and if he’s been reduced to this, I can only hope I never have to face the same test.

I hope he just missed the mark here - we do need intellectually responsible arguments on the other side but this is not one

Are you trying to win some sort of prize for Trumpian asininity? How the hell can you possibly judge what she said without knowing what the country was, where she lived in it? And no, spa treatments are not elitist or out of touch in most of the world.

Truth is that there are shitholes everywhere including in America. If you're high up on the income scale, you can have a good life anywhere in the world.
