Earlier today, President Trump denied saying that the TPS countries such as Haiti were "sh*tholes".
I knew there were Democrats in the meeting, so I figured they would come forth with their side, and sure enough:

Based on the White House's lack of denial last night and the fact that Trump is not PC, him having said it would not surprise me. I think a different term should have been used if he used it. As I said in depth, there are a lot of countries that are not well off, but we can't take everyone from them.
There were Republicans in the meeting. They will be asked. If they say he said it, it will make it worse than to just admit to it and explain his comments. If they deny he said it, then that's different.
Trump did say on Twitter he should record meetings from now on. Wise strategy whenever a Democrat is involved is to record the meeting. Otherwise, he has to realize that if a Democrat or RINO is in a meeting with him, he should expect it will hit the press - all of it. Speak as though it's all being recorded.
“...Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson are chuckling...”
More like laughing out loud.
Truman was a tough, straight talking SOB; LBJ was the crudest, most vulgar human ever to walk in the White House.
You can’t say ‘shit’ on the radio in flight in the military so the joke is someone radios in asking “who said ‘shit’? You can’t say ‘shit’ over the radio”, another guy says,” i didn’t say ‘shit’ you can’t say’shit’ over the radio. Who said ‘shit’?” Another guy says “I didn’t say ‘shit’ you can’t say’shit’ over the radio. Who said ‘shit’? It goes on like that til they knock it off
That’s going to be today’s news cycle
Turbin Durbin has his own history of mis-remembering.
I see what you did there.
I would have said “Cuffing fecal matter-hole” but that is just showing off vocabulary.
No shirt, Shylock.
Dick Durbin - “Teacher, teacher! Donnie said a BAD WORD!”
What is this, the third grade?
Little Dick is a Scheisskopf.
They thought they’d get what they got - 24/7 media coverage of countries calling him a racist. Maybe they feel he’d feel compelled to do something take that label off.
They were surprised Steve Bannon was accused of backstabbing and badmouthing. They all do it including the media! Trump fights back!
Even if he doesn’t start recording people from now on will think he is, they’re going to be soooo paranoid.
He can’t because some of them hate him and want him impeached. There are some Republicans that he can trust, but all Democrats and RINOs should be expected to leak.
Liberals aren't upset that Trump used the word "sh*t," they're upset that he made a factual statement about the condition of the Third World countries from which we get most of our immigrants.
Exactly. Presume they are funneling the entire meeting straight to the press.
I didn’t know he was like that. Wow! How can you go from pro-life to that?
It helps them rile up their base for November.
There probably are many Europeans with training and education who want to come to a place of greater economic freedom like the US. They patiently apply and wait in line to do so. In contrast, Haitians get no questions asked refugee status, while Mexicans and Salvadorans just run across the border and wait around with the (unfortunately true) expectation that they'll never be deported and that their kids will be automatic citizens.
I expect they will be asking Republicans at the meeting, and I presume they will be honest, so if he said it, he added a problem by not just denying it.
When the Word righton you have to use it
