Trump denies crude slur against migrant countries
BBC News ^ | 12 January 2018

US President Donald Trump has denied using crude words attributed to him about Haiti, El Salvador and African countries.

Reports that he had called them “s---hole countries” in an Oval Office meeting generated a backlash worldwide.

One UN official called the remarks racist and said they opened “the door to humanity’s worst side”.

But Mr. Trump has tweeted that “this was not the language” he used in a meeting about immigration.

He wrote that the language he used was “tough, but this was not the language used”.

The Washington Post, the New York Times, Politico and the Wall Street Journal all reported the comments on Thursday, quoting witnesses or people briefed on the meeting. The White House did not deny them. …

Then he said, with Black Unemployment at its lowest level in Years, those Ni**gers will be Voting Republican for the next 200 Years.

Oh wait, that was LBJ in a private Oval Office meeting talking about the Civil Rights Act that the Republicans Voted for and the Democrats tried to Filibuster.

Well, the former is suddenly not OK because it may “offend” the so-called “transgenders”. More left-wing rewrite of rules.

Yup. I am very disappointed that Trump went for the Iran nuke deal thing. Bad stuff. He NEEDED to SLAM that door tight, now!

Durbin clutching his pearls while sanctimoniously decrying such language from the Oval Office is political theater - nothing more. Whether Trump used the term or not - and it is how a LOT of people would describe some of those third-world countries - he said it in a private meeting and not on the world stage. No doubt the lib-liars will find fault with Trump daily regardless of what he says or does - it is their mission to wear him and us down with death by a thousand cuts tactics. They will NOT succeed!

Personally I don’t care whether he said it or not, but I wonder why no one has tried to defend it. He was most likely using the s. . . .hole or other such term to describe the government who would let it’s people live in such deplorable conditions, not the people.

The people in shithole countries are probably good people. They just have loser leaders which is why the countries are shitholes.

Durbin lied, folks in shitholes cried.

After the brouhaha about Trump wanting a merit based immigration system based on an applicant’s skill set, education, earnings potential, etc. followed by his shi’thole comments, I decided to google if there is such an animal as the University of Haiti that mints newly degreed nuclear scientists we might need. The answer is yes and no. Yes, Virginia,there is actually a University of Haiti in Port au Prince (I think the school mascot may be a voodoo doll) rated 3486 academically among all the universities on the planet which I think puts it below the global pile of higher educational institutions . But unfortunately they do not offer nuclear science courses or any PHD degrees for that matter. Thus nuclear scientists are as rare as toilet seats in sh’thole countries.

So the BOSS has a Potty-Mouth! Big EFFIN deal. All the POTUS throughout history have been as bad or worse except maybe Jimmeh the Peanut Cartah. He was too busy stabbing Christians in the back -- a practice he continues to this day.

LOL.

The media is STILL going on and on and on about a single word that Trump has denied even saying.

Maybe next, the Democrats can put their heads together and come up with another nasty word that they can accuse Trump of saying, and then the media can go on and on and on about THAT (they have to leave Maxine Waters out of it, however, because the only word she knows is “impeachment”).

How much more collectively insane can the left / media GET? As far as I’m concerned, this horrible “reporting” is inciting people on both sides of the aisle.

I have no idea - and neither do the people who are using the term.

This sh!thole craze would normally be past it’s expiration date. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s just more evidence of how immature the LSM and DNC really are. Seems their Trump hatred is being “Trumped” by them getting off on blurting out one of the, according to George Carlin, seven words you can’t say on TV? Now they’re coming off as a bunch of immature dumbass jr. high school punks, as if they’ve ever shown any maturity to begin with.
