Johannesburg (CNN)South Africa will issue a diplomatic protest to the United States Monday over US President Donald Trump's "shithole countries" comments, according to its foreign ministry.

During an Oval Office meeting on immigration Thursday, Trump expressed frustration with people coming to the United States from countries in Africa and elsewhere, sources told CNN.

Trump on Friday denied describing certain nations in such vulgar terms, tweeting: "The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used." He also defended himself Sunday night, telling reporters he is "not a racist."

Well, 'discovery' should be interesting.

The scoreboard is:

1 Democrat (Leaky Dick Durbin) with a history of lying about Executive Meetings claims Trump said the 'shithole' comment.

1 RINO did not confirm he said anything like that, merely saying "I said my piece to the President". The News Misleadia ran this comment as a confirmation.

2 GOP Senators directly denied he said that comment.

Busy week for the protesters in South Africa. They were just protesting the coolest monkey in the jungle picture.

To any shithole country complaining - we should nod, say “okay, you’re not a shithole country” and then stop all aid to them.

Exactly. While we’re at it let’s have the Plutonians censure him for calling their planet the brothel of the solar system

South Africa only recently became a “shit-hole country.” The same holds true for several countries on that continent.

I think a country where there is a market for cars that have flamethrowers built into the car (like South Africa) has to reasonably qualify for S***Hole status.

Now the Washington Post is reporting he may have said sh*thouse rather than sh*thole. Not sure but I think a sh*thouse development is more upscale than sh*thole development.The one thing they have in common is they both stink.

If these countries say they are not shootholes then we must stop giving them any aid. Anything else would just be racist.
