I guess America got tired of being depicted in a color that carries negative connotations. I wonder what future changes are in store as the US continues to sink down the scale. But on a positive note, this map finally explains why Trump loves Russia so much...it's the same color he is. So where does "shithole" begin, anyway? With the warning that starts at yellow? Who gets to explain that to Israel? In 2014, “stable” was changed from yellow to green. I guess America got tired of being depicted in a color that carries negative connotations.

And yes, it is about 'those people' for you... you made that clear when you threw your support behind banning people because of their religion...

Of course he would be outraged if the leader of one of those blue countries called us a shithole country, even as he is outraged that his right to call the red countries 'shitholes' is being questioned. He is the epitome of a small man.
