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."

I would like an accounting of all the foreign aid from the UN and other nations as well as nonprofits and charities that these 💩holes have received over decades and what positive outcomes resulted. If they are NOT 💩holes they don’t need $

So, they are now claiming to be one of the ‘shithole’ countries?....................

These sh$$hole places sure are attention whores.

Speaking of attention whores, where's the media reporting on Obama calling Libya a SHITSHOW? (A shitshow he himself created!)

It was a s***hole during Apartheid too.

I believe it was Will Rogers who said:

"If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, you know which one you hit, because that is the one yelping. "

Yo, SHole countries, put the U.S. on your no visitation lists.

I recommend formally ignoring the protest.

I still wonder if was this a spur of the moment lie or was it a planned in advance lie. In the meantime, there's always bingo.

Any country that practices "Necklacing" is by definition a 'SHITHOLE country'. Just another innovation brought to the people of South Africa by the modern leadership of the Mandelas!

some shithouses used to just be shitholes.

To democrats and other snowballs. You are more offended by any crude language by Trump than when Clinton got BJs in the office, even when on the phone with a senator discussing Bosnia. When Clinton left his sperm in the sink to be cleaned up by the Filipino Oval Fffice valet, and when Clinton groped Kathleen Wiley’s breast in the office.

Perspective people, perspective.

If memory serves, South Africa was or maybe still is, the carjacking, rape and AIDS capital of the world.
