Trump, in a meeting with senators of both parties, referred to Haiti and African nations off-handedly as “s–hole countries,” as first reported by The Washington Post. He did so in context of discussing immigration, while wondering aloud why America should even considering taking in those who don’t offer much by way of benefit to this country’s citizens.
“Why do we need more Haitians, take them out,” Trump reportedly said, NBC reported.
The firestorm came quick.
“@realDonaldTrump, your mouth is the foulest s–hole in the world. With what authority do you proclaim who’s welcome in America and who’s not,” tweeted Vicente Fox Quesada, former president of Mexico. “America’s greatness if built on diversity, or have you forgotten your immigrant background, Donald?”
And this, from David Miliband, former foreign secretary for the United Kingdom: “Trump Administration leading a race to the bottom on refugees and immigrants that is a betrayal of America’s future as well as of its history. These are PEOPLE.”
And this, from the South African media outlet, Daily Maverick: “Casual Friday at the White House is soon to include hoods and tiki torches at this rate.”
And then this, from Trevor Noah, the host of The Daily Show who was born in South Africa — a tweet that read, “Tonight at 11/10c, as someone from South S–hole, Trevor is deeply offended by the president’s remarks.”
The list goes on. The grandstanding and lecturing goes on at length. But let ‘em cry.
Trump, as usual, cut through the bureaucracy to strike the core of what frustrates Americans about immigration, and that’s the failure of politicos — politicos who live behind gated and armed security walls, by the way — to consider the needs of the United States and the safety and welfare of the U.S. citizens first.

Exactly . .
George Orwell specifically warned about political correctness in his very famous essay Politics and the English Language. By NOT being politically correct, Trump speaks for millions of Americans tired of the "inside the Beltway" mentality.
Agreed, go Trump!
It’s just a pity that Trump didn’t mention Hollywood as a s?$&’hole. Really, the most blasphemous, profane, hypocritical places on earth.
As usual the media is completely ignoring the big picture. They don’t ask WHY are so many trying to leave these countries to come to the USA ? Because they are S*&THOLE COUNTRIES ! And not because of the people but because of the Governments that run those countries.
“America’s greatness if built on diversity, or have you forgotten your immigrant background, Donald?”
Nonsense.Third world immigration diversity came into play in 1965 at the insistence of Ted Kennedy and Democrats looking to build a voter base. Before then America’s immigrant population was merit based or Eurocentric with shared common values and culture. Diversity in building nations and the workplace has nothing to do with productivity but it does make for nice slogans.
Hollywood is more sodom and grommorah but either description would work.
Because we need the President of Mexico to tell us what our country is all about.
This why I Love our President. He states what we say. Not the political correct qay.

...
Not only a voter base, but voters who will turn a blind eye toward corruption and the plundering of America.
Because of the News Misleadia’s overreaction to Trump’s shithole comment, I shall now add the word ‘shithole’ any time I am speaking about a third world country.
Obama called Libya a “shit show”. Who complained about HIS potty mouth or un-PC opinion about a third-world cesspool?
“Third world immigration diversity came into play in 1965 at the insistence of Ted Kennedy and Democrats looking to build a voter base. Before then America’s immigrant population was merit based or Eurocentric with shared common values and culture.”
Exactly.
Load them up and fly them to London
Need to stop brining in people from the 3rd world altogether. That would be a great blow to the Nwo.

“Because we need the President of Mexico to tell us what our country is all about.”
Yeah, the racist Vicente Fox, whose government produced comic books that were insulting to blacks. The same Vicente Fox who famously shrieked that Mexico was not going to pay for “Trump’s f***ing wall!”
Boy, I'll bet this "take them out" is being reported out of context, as in, "target, deport--or worse". More than likely it was in reference to the Flake-y "bipartisan" proposal, and Trump meant, "take them out of your quota list".
Meanwhile, on CNN, I've heard all sorts of speculation about how "take them out" is reminiscent of the Gestapo.
Despite this twit’s opinion, THIS is the reason he was elected.
