    Trump's remark about "sh*thole" countries

    Is the MSM reporting about it in context?

    Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as 'sh*thole' countries

    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday referred to Haiti and African nations as "sh*thole countries" during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators at the White House, a Democratic aide briefed on the meeting told NBC News.

    Trump's comments were first reported by The Washington Post, which said the group of nations referred to also included El Salvador.

    Two sources briefed on the conversation say that during the portion of the conversation about Haiti — which came at the top of the exchange that led to the "sh*thole" comment — the president questioned why Haitians should be given specific consideration.

    "Why do we need more Haitians, take them out," he said, according to our sources.

    Someone else in the room responded: "Because if you do, it will be obvious why."

    The comments came as senators huddled in the Oval Office with the president to discuss a path forward on an immigration deal. Trump questioned why the United States would want people from nations such as Haiti while he was being briefed on changes to the visa lottery system.

    According to the aide, when the group came to discussing immigration from Africa, Trump asked why America would want immigrants from "all these sh*thole countries" and that the U.S. should have more people coming in from places like Norway. Thursday's meeting came one day after Trump met with Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg at the White House.

    It's one thing to think it. But for the POTUS to say it knowing how race relations are in this country, it was hurtful and insensitive. I'm a supporter of Prez Trump, always will be as long as he keeps doing the awesome job he has, but I won't support all, of his actions just because I agree with his policies...He needs to apologize for his remarks. And he needs to do so now. 😐

    Yes. My father called me last night and said he heard on the news the President say it out of his own mouth. But I’ve yet to find a video of the meeting. If I’m wrong about him saying it, I will retract my response.

    Here's Jesse Lee Peterson's response. Just because it may be true, why fan the flames???...

    White Americans don't understand just how mean, hateful & jealous most immigrants from #shithole countries are. Most have a socialist / Marxist mindset & they don't like Americans—especially whites. #WakeUpAmerica #MAGA2018

    Never mind that that most immigrants are also extremely racist.

    Trump is denying the language used.


    Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said "take them out." Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!

    I can’t help but wonder why aides in the meeting would find it necessary to rush out and tell the media this stuff. If they worked for me, I’d fire them for breaking confidentiality.
