In journalism school, we were always taught it's OK to publish a swear word if the pope or president says it. Those two were always presented as an extraordinary, highly unlikely "man bites dog" situation.

Well class, today it's literally the president.

That ship has sailed. The racist ignoramus lied about it on Twitter, but the White House admitted he said it and multiple Congressmen are coming forward. He said it. Move on to your next stage of damage control.


He's doing this really weird denial that might be true but doesn't really make things okay where he referred to all of the countries as ****holes EXCEPT Haiti.

I mean, is he wrong?

They dont even have running water and constantly suffering disease and famine from poor infratructure and cultural habits.

Also, how is it racist? He called the countries shitholes, he didnt blame the no longer minority groups that live there for why they are shitholes.

The whole thing revolved around taking in refugees from said countries. Why would that matter if he didn't have a problem with the people? Keep reaching.

Except his problem isn't that they're brown. It's that they have no appreciable skills because their country is a shithole.

Trump is absolutely a racist, but in this instance there's no racism involved. A lack of empathy, sure, but the guy's a sociopath.

because he thinks the people of those shitholes are also shitholes.

you guys are lucky he didnt outright say shithole people are you would have had to double down on that too. I guess if youre racist enough to defend trump in this you wouldnt mind taking the racism a step farther though.

The leader of any country should not be referring to other countries as shitholes. It's an easy way to get other countries on your bad side and it's not like Trump has a great record with foreign affairs as it is.

If this was an isolated incident then he might deserve some slack.

Idk how much living you do off the internet, but usually growing up in harder conditions and without a lot of civilized cultural habits makes it more difficult to intigrate and function in a higher strung society.

You probably take for granted a lot of your actions in public not realizing thats the whole reason society works in the first place.

We already cant take care of our poor as it is, why would bringing in people with less education and more debts PLUS cultural barriers be better for the U.S. than allowing people from countries which are more similar to our own that already know how to do jobs and wont assume certain jestures and dress imply you want to have intercourse with them (look at europe, unless you are brainwashed into thinking all the stories of rape and increased crime is propoganda despite probably having never visited or even knowing anybody that lives around it)

There was a time when in order to be a refugee, you had to believe your leaders were trying to kill you, Obama decided that refugee status could go to those who just don't like their country. And yes those countries are shitholes. Nobody in Miami is cobbling together scraps to raft to Haiti.

Stop trying this line of defense. Multiple people have come forward to corroborate. Move on to "saying s***holes isn't racist" so your argument can be destroyed there as well


So have people that have said otherwise. Fake news. Not that it matters. But fake news

Refugees =/= legal immigrants

I'm sorry Trump thinks America should suddenly treat immigration like the early weeks of free agency.

Face it. People in good situations in good countries are far less likely to even want to leave. You move because you have a reason to, and that usually revolves around greener pastures.

The Norwegians will flock here as soon as their country is a shithole

I'm glad they're actually saying it and not skirting around it by saying something like "vulgar language we can't repeat on the air." The fact that Donald Trump used the term "shithole" is the crux of the story so that is certainly how it should be reported.

What happened to small government and making America great again? What is more American than legal immigrants looking for a better life?
