You're not wrong but the president shouldn't be saying things like that. It makes his job and America's job 100x harder.
It also conveniently ignores the history of the US meddling in Haiti more than any other country over the last couple of centuries. Occupations, installing strongmen, toppling those same strongmen and installing new ones, on and on and on. I'm sure Trump doesn't know that history nor does the average American, which is part of the reason Trump can get away with so much.
