US President Donald Trump has sparked outrage after he was reported to have used crude language to describe foreign countries in an Oval Office meeting.

Mr Trump said he did not say "anything derogatory" about Haitians and appeared to deny calling any countries "shitholes", as was reported, generating a worldwide backlash.

However, Democratic Senator Dick Durbin said Mr Trump used "racist" language.

The president did call some African nations "shitholes", he said.

Amid widespread coverage of his reported remarks at a private meeting with lawmakers to discuss immigration on Thursday, Mr Trump on Friday tweeted his language at the meeting "was tough, but this was not the language used".

What President Trump said is TRUE, and one can no more infer racism from it than one can from stating that 2+2=4, since racists also say that. PERIOD.

The President didn’t say anything bad about Haitians. Those poor people have a ____hole country. The complaining Democrats need to go to Haiti and stay there until it’s cleaned up.

To end white privilege, all countries must become shitholes.

The left is working hard to get this just right.

How dare Trump say this? Just look at all the wonderful accomplishments these countries have achieved! The inventions, the wealth, the stable institutions.... oh wait, never mind.

I’m reading a great book by Theodore Dalyrimple about his trip to Liberia. “Monrovia Mon Amour: a Visit to Liberia” It’s so painfully accurate.

A Leftist President parallel would be to call America a “s-—hole country”. The outrage that I imagine I would have helps me understand the outrage that America haters have. I feel for them.

Let’s admit that the great migration in the 20th and 21st centuries is from SH countries to countries established and managed by crackers. This may be a racist opinion but it is the truth. It seems that globalism encompasses a plan to make the entire world one SH world run by a group of undigested food particles.

If the President’s critics want a more accurate appellation they should be referred to as “S**T DITCH” countries.
