The national media is in an uproar over the president's alleged comments about why we are promoting immigration from "s***hole countries" while shutting the door for so many immigrants from more advanced nations.
According to the media, there are two issues here. One is the president's language, which they consider inappropriate. And second is the whole issue of who should get favored immigration advantages.
Ahem, let me offer a little perspective.
Having interviewed six presidents and hosted them in my home and traveled with them on Air Force One, and on commercial aircraft, and in private jets and car caravans and Winnebago's, I can assure you that they all use that word. Including Ronald Reagan, who was otherwise a perfect gentleman.
As far as inappropriate moments in the White House are concerned, this moment by Donald Trump does not even rank.
John F. Kennedy, you will remember, asked his young staffer, Mimi Alford, to give his buddy, Dave Powers a blow job, in his presence. This, in the White House swimming pool. There is Bill Clinton and his dalliances with Lewinsky. Both stories are documented in my book "Game of Thorns."
Five recent presidents used the N-word. Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman, FDR, Richard Nixon, and Lyndon Baines Johnson. In fact, we could say six, because Barack Obama used the word publicly as well. By the way, five of those six presidents are liberal Democrats.

St Martin Luther king day is coming up. The old ladies on the left are having a meltdown as we get nearer one of their sacred holy days.
Just about every large American city run by democrats is a sh*t hole too. I wouldn’t go to them and neither would anyone working hard with a family unless they were stuck there because of the poverty Obama caused. Why not give the “decent” people living in our own sh*tholes a chance to move up and out of there, why aliens?
What conservative Republican was quoted as having said “f*****g Jew bastard” in reference to a staffer?
Oh, wait...
That would have been Hildabeast screeching at Paul Fray....and Fray wasn’t even Jewish.
Say this for Donald Trump, he is nothing if not completely transparent in presenting his opinions and what he plans to do next.
No “behind closed doors” or “smoke-filled rooms” for him. What you see is what you get, sunup to sundown, and all night long, too.
Donald J. Trump is an elemental force of nature. Now look, he is the President of the United States of America, too.
Grab that locomotive by the headlight, swing it up into the air, and set it down on the tracks headed the opposite direction.
Superman could not do it better. But things have been pretty abrupt for a lot of people.
True statement...
My thought exactly, in those very words.
Harry Truman was noted for being quite colorful with his language.
Agree. Grow up is right. Bunch of cry babies.
Trump’s language, and behavior, is mainstream Victorian compared to LBJ.
Over the last several years the media has become all about what people SAY, not what people DO.
Every other word LBJ uttered was an expletive.
President Trumps explicit language was simply an English translation of the previous White House occupant’s name.
“Play your next card bitches. Do it do it.”
2018 is going to be the best political year of my life.

What’s shocking is the betrayal and backstabbing of Durbin. Even bitter enemies can keep each other’s secrets when agreeing to meet behind closed doors. It happens especially in business but even in US politics.
Pelosi and Durbin are finishing melting down any ability to even communicate with the other side. Trump will take this lesson to heart.
Dd Tip ONeil or Reagan ever betray the other?
What was it that LBJ said about the Great Society legislation. I think it was far worse and it still affecting the country.
“We’ll have those n#####rs voting for us for the next hundred years.”
