After outrageous insults from Donald Trump, Haitians have helped to revive Springfield – now their future is uncertain

The Springfield community in particular had worked hard to remain resilient beyond the outrageous besmirching by Donald Trump during the 2024 election campaign and further insults about Haiti delivered after he became the US president again.
