US President Donald Trump has denied using crude words attributed to him about Haiti, El Salvador and African countries.
Reports that he had called them “s---hole countries” in an Oval Office meeting generated a backlash worldwide.
One UN official called the remarks racist and said they opened “the door to humanity’s worst side”.
But Mr. Trump has tweeted that “this was not the language” he used in a meeting about immigration.
He wrote that the language he used was “tough, but this was not the language used”.
The Washington Post, the New York Times, Politico and the Wall Street Journal all reported the comments on Thursday, quoting witnesses or people briefed on the meeting. The White House did not deny them. …

I knew last night this would be BBC’s top story for today ,LOL
Durbin now on tape saying President Trump did say it. So much for reaching out to hateful slimeball dems!!
Everyone is so upset that Trump would malign such tropical paradises, treasures of the world. You known, now that all agree that these countries are delightful garden spots, we ought to deny all immigration from them because our country could never live up to the high standards of Haiti and the like.
I guess after 25 years of teaching, Bess Truman finally got Harry Truman to use the word “manure”.
No doubt if TRUMP had used the word “manure” or even “fertilizer” he would still be racked over the coals. Nice to know he does recognize those outhouse parts of the world as Sh*tholes.
So Leftists, why ARE the migrants leaving their Leftist shitholes to come to America?
Only about 10% of the pop - if that - are political junkies who can name all the senators, governors, reps, cabinet, etc. and WHAT THEY’VE SAID. The other 90% can only recall what the MenSeekingMen force them to store in memory by 24/7ing it.
‘Shithole’ is now in their memory, and when they run into shitholian immigrants making their daily life unpleasant, the word shithole will be re-enforced. The hard 40% Left won’t pull up the word, but the middle 20% and the right WILL retrieve the label and and consciously apply it, if silently.
This is how CINC is cleaving non-political-junkies to him: seeding his policy into their political memory with exactly these type of newscycles.
They have Minitrue working overtime destroying words and creating new ones.
Durbin’s being quoted as claiming Trump said “these hateful, racist” things without being specific.
For some reason, I can't stop laughing.
A migrant country is a country that Leftist socialists have turned into such shitholes that the native populations risk breaking the immigration laws of other countries to escape it.
“One U.N. official called it racist”
How much in tax dollars is that retarded statement costing us?

Yeah, the old “people briefed on the meeting” trick. Almost makes Michael Wolff seem a smidgen more honest (just a smidgen).
They are hellhole countries.
The article is wrong, especially on one very important aspect. There were no direct quotes from anyone attending the meeting. There were quotes from people who said they had been told this happened by people in the meeting. I do believe this is known as hearsay and is not considered reliable.
Trump wouldn’t use such a vulgar term when referring to countries that are cesspools.
Is there a clip showing Trump saying what they claim? Otherwise it’s not to be believed.
Hey, if they deny it I will claim it.

When it’s Dick Durbin and “people briefed on the meeting”, it’s automatically hearsay.
