Trump's Explicit Language Nothing New for US Presidents
newsmax ^ | Jan 12, 2018 | Doug Wead

Posted on 01/12/2018 11:11:49 PM PST by Oshkalaboomboom

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.

Leftists pick and choose when to be offended.

8 years of Bill Clinton was not the time to get offended by sexual assault.

When the possibility presented itself that Trump may have committed sexual assault, now it is time to get offended by sexual assault.

When Hillary stole aid money to Haiti it was not the time to be offended by that slight toward the Haitian people.

When Trump says Haiti is a shthole, now it is time to get offended by that slight towards the Haitian people even though he didn’t say that unless you believe Dick the liar Durbin.

We have basically beaten them back to Hillary Clinton’s platform of: “Vote for me because he says mean things (and because vagina)”. It didn’t work so well for them the last time. If that’s all they have, I don’t think it will work the next time either.

LBJ privately said that passing Medicaid would have the ni**ers voting Democrat for the next 200 years.

What these people from shi*hole countries
fail to realize, (along with the Trump
haters), is the citizens of these
countries are not the ones that are at
the brunt of the comment. Their leadership
is...or they wouldn’t be a shi*hole
country....President Trump was spot on.

A year after he lost the 2004 presidential election to Bush, John Kerry told Rolling Stone that he never expected Bush to “fuck up” the war in Iraq so much. No mainstream newspapers used the exact quote.24 Sports ...

Dickhead Durbin sounded like the little boy who runs to mommy shouting, Mommy Mommy, Donald said a bad word.

But it’s new for Disney and Comcast to get behind the disparagement of the Presidency.

These two corps are not your friends.

LBJ and the “N word”.

This is nothing but hypocritical outrage over words. bammy’s actions were much worse. Small minded individuals go into fits of outrage over WORDS, while normal people are disgusted by peoples’ ACTIONS.

If he actually said it that way. Durbin is a known liar.

FWIW I traveled extensively around the world in the 80’s - 90’s. Couldn’t wait to get back home to the US. Most of the rest of the world is a turd world place. Some parts of Europe and especially Asia even qualify. India and Pakistan forget about it.

Both Wilson and Truman were Klan members/supporters.

I suspect they said far worse than the N word

4 in 10 people in haiti have electricity, many have no sanitary running water and many have no indoor plumbing.

Raw sewage runs openly in the streets, the classic definition of a shithole.

What happened to the 10-12 BILLION DOLLARS the klinton krime family was supposed to use after the haiti storms.

Thinking the same thing. What's racist about calling Haiti a "shit hole?"

It's a shit hole for all of humanity, whatever one's race may be.

I wonder how old Stennie Hoyer was the first time he heard Hillary Clinton use her “angry voice” in a closed door meeting, and the wonderful words she must have used to express herself. Was he there when she took over Capital Hill as First Lady of Healthcare? I bet she was lots of fun in closed door meetings, when she and her FBI files returned as Senator Clinton...

I think President Trump should just clarify, by tweeting:

Shithole is Queens for hellhole. Get over it. Some countries are hellholes. If they weren’t, we wouldn’t be taking their people in. Nobody knows better than those who have left. We call them Level 3 countries and warn people about travelling there for a reason. Now grow up.

What’s amazing is it works...over and over.
Even after 8 years of Obama.
Trump finished an amazing first year.
From Gorsuch appointment to the tax bill.
Within less than a month people are ready to turn on him.
Over “words”

If Trump actually signed a amnesty bill without getting those things he campaigned on..sure, I would be done with him,too.
But, Trump hasn’t actually did anything..except talk to the enemy?

Another element here that is interesting is..what obligation does Trump have to be honest to a media, or opposition party especially, that has constantly lied about Trump?
Not only lied but if they could they would him impeach him for some bogus reason.
So, if once in awhile Trump shows them the same lack of respect they show them and it exposes the msm/dmc for the phonies they are...GOOD.
