Trump decries immigrants from 'shithole countries' coming to US
CNN ^ | 01/11/2018 | By Eli Watkins and Abby Phillip, CNN

President Donald Trump expressed frustration behind closed doors with people coming to the US from "shithole countries," The Washington Post reported Thursday. "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" Trump said, according to the Post, which cited two people briefed on the Thursday Oval Office meeting with lawmakers. Trump, in vulgar terms, rejects bipartisan immigration proposal at White House meeting

When lawmakers in the meeting floated restoring Temporary Protected Status for some immigrants, Trump grew frustrated and shocked the lawmakers with his "shithole" comment in reference to African countries and Haiti, according to the Post. Trump then suggested the US should bring in more people from countries like Norway, the report said. A person briefed on the meeting told CNN that Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin was running through a proposal listing countries that would be covered by TPS protections in exchange for ending the visa lottery. The person said when Durbin got to Haiti, Trump began to ask why we want people from Haiti in the US and asked why we want more Africans. The President then said, according to this person, why do we want all these people from "shithole countries" coming here -- and added that the US should get more people from countries like Norway.

What I think is great about that comment is it will get play for the next 24-36 hours. Meanwhile Trump will get more things done that will fly under the MSM radar.

Good job! Perhaps others will fill in even more appropriate descriptive terms for the slithering bottom feeders in political gutters everywhere.

I am sure that in front of a very liberal member of the senate Trump made such a remark. I don’t believe it for a minute. The man is a politician and he is not about to give those who hate him any ammo. This is just another convenient lie.

We’re saddled with these third world miscreants because the RAT party wants to dilute the white population of America...and the RATS want their votes, too.

Awesome, if he said it, so what....it’s true.

You are a bigoted ...immigrationalist!

Yeah, that's it! Immigrationalist!

You know, like the short lived attempt to mainstream the term "racialist." I believe the definition of a "racialist" was someone who quoted statistical facts about a race, thus making them, ummm... "racist-in-law?" "Kissing-racist?" "Grandracist?" "Foster-racist?"

Well some kind of racists, anyway.... ;-)

AOL commie news is jumping up and down with it too. I guess their Russia narrative has to stop for a few hours.

Political correctness says that, you can think it, but don't say it. Don't speak your mind.

You can't say somebody is fat, though she/he is. You can't say somebody is ugly, though she/he is. You can't say somebody is dumb, shout she/he is. You can't say somebody is an asshole, thous she/he is. You can't say somebody is an illegal alien, thous everybody knows that she/he is, and not an "undocumented resident/foreigner". You can't say a place is a shithole, though everybody knows that it is a shithole.

Time to get real and forget the liberal PC shit.
