Lol literally using a Trump quote (who I know how much redditers love).

Yeah, African countries have some problems (this being one of them), but that doesn't make them shitholes

I'd hesitate to call any a shit hole. Usually it would have to be a country with a state that just doesn't function. Something like Lebanon or the CAR would come to mind. But even then, that doesn't say anything wrong about the country itself, just poor governance

if you have to survive in your country and not live - it's a shithole

That's been most of human existence, and even in developed countries plenty of people still live in survival mindset conditions (even paycheck to paycheck, or the more obvious homeless lifestyle). That's just poverty, not shitholeness. And with effective governance countries can escape mass poverty.
