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."

What no one in the media has mentioned is, yet again, it is the Democrats who have changed the standard for political discourse and put politics above country.
For decades, legislators have held private meetings with the President to negotiate contentious legislation. The entire value of these meetings is that parties on both sides are able to speak freely, articulate their positions, and reveal where there may be room for compromise.
Knowing how almost all politicians speak behind closed doors, those discussions are undoubtedly filled with profanity. LBJ purportedly unzipped his pants and exposed his genitals in one such meeting, as a way saying ‘don’t push me on this because I have the biggest **** and most power in the room’.
For Durbin to hold a press conference and quote/misquote what the President said in a private meeting, as a way of scoring political points is despicable. The fact is that today’s Democrats care nothing about whether they damage relationships and harm US interests, as long as the President looks bad.
Ten years from now, we will ask why Presidents will refuse to hold face-to-face meetings with the opposition to negotiate critical legislation. And we will look to Dick Durbin as the originator of the precedent that private negotiations aren’t really private.
please tell us from your s*&^hole country how shi^%y it is?
Now if they say it is nice and it’s Shi% then wtf..keep rinse lather repeat
If the shoe fits, you stepped in it.
I grew up there.
Die Antwoord means The Answer.
I think the woman with the bug in her cootch is a representation of Lady Gaga. Afrikaners are hard core.
I believe President Trump.
Democrat (Leaky Dick Durbin) with a history of lying about Executive Meetings claims Trump said the 'shithole' comment.Ban Dick Durbin from any further closed door meetings
Even though President Trump (and others) deny such a remark was made by him, the fact that certain sh**hole countries are complaining assures us that , indeed, they are sh**holes. Reality suck for them. Hahaha.
Moses Sithole (born 17 November 1964) is a South African serial killer and rapist who committed the "ABC Murders", so named because they began in Atteridgeville, continued in Boksburg and finished in Cleveland, a suburb of Johannesburg.
Soon, they will correct it again.
He said Ship Mouse! You know, a mouse that lives on a ship!
Then it will be Flip Mouse. You know, a mouse that does flips.
Then it will be Flip Wilson. You know, the old comedian.
Of course, Flip Wilson was black.
So once again, Trump is a racist.
The argument that some countries (usually Mexico and those in central America) are too terrible to live in is a standard argument made in the Superior Courts in California whenever minors are going to be deported. While minor’s counsel obviously avoids the term “sh*thole”, the point is made that the minor should stay in the USA and not be deported because the “home” country is so bad.
The motions are routinely granted, as they are not adversary proceedings.
And yes, this is in state court, where jurisdiction is given by statues.
Moses SITHOLE???
So Trump was actually saying a Sithole country!
WHICH IT IS!
LOL - looks that way...
Hate to bring up a real she-demon, but Samantha Power wrote a piece a while back about how to kill a country, using Rhodesia/Zimbabwe as an example.
What happens when a country is reverted to the natives.
It happened in South Africa too.
Sh*thole is an appropriate description of the “new” South Africa
Heh, I’ll take a look at it tonight!
Yes the lovely Marxist ANC run country. $hithole
lol
First, there ARE shithole countries....
so it would be a perfectly true statement
Second, President Trump and others say he did NOT say it
anyway
Third, if he did say it, there would still be NO EXCUSE for Durbin to ‘leak’ it out of a private working meeting......
4th, there would have been no excuse for Durbin to leak it knowing it would cause difficulties with those very shithole countries ...by leaking it, he does America damage
Awww.... cue the “world’s tiniest violin.”
He never called South Africa a s***hole, if indeed he did say that.
but Africa, get your house in order. The US sends tons of money and aid, AFIK, to help the people; most of it apparently enriches various dictators and not used for its intended purpose.
Anyway, South Africa did give us Charlize Theron.... One saving grace. ;)
Meh, she's a moonbat.
