Trump decries immigrants from 'shithole countries' coming to US
CNN ^ | 01/11/2018 | By Eli Watkins and Abby Phillip, CNN

President Donald Trump expressed frustration behind closed doors with people coming to the US from "shithole countries," The Washington Post reported Thursday. "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" Trump said, according to the Post, which cited two people briefed on the Thursday Oval Office meeting with lawmakers. Trump, in vulgar terms, rejects bipartisan immigration proposal at White House meeting

When lawmakers in the meeting floated restoring Temporary Protected Status for some immigrants, Trump grew frustrated and shocked the lawmakers with his "shithole" comment in reference to African countries and Haiti, according to the Post. Trump then suggested the US should bring in more people from countries like Norway, the report said. A person briefed on the meeting told CNN that Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin was running through a proposal listing countries that would be covered by TPS protections in exchange for ending the visa lottery. The person said when Durbin got to Haiti, Trump began to ask why we want people from Haiti in the US and asked why we want more Africans. The President then said, according to this person, why do we want all these people from "shithole countries" coming here -- and added that the US should get more people from countries like Norway.

CNN is Fake News. They use WaPo as a source without ever saying that WaPo has UNNAMED (supposed) sources. I hate these lying propaganda tools.

Thank God We Deplorables elected Donald J. Trump our patriot President!!

He’s speaking words that come out of my mouth all the time.

I’m sick of the two-faced, spineless, gutless, treasonous, corrupt, amoral political vermin inhabiting our government at every level in DC and everywhere else in this country down to dog catchers.

Comments anyone?

Probably should move the decimal one place to the right and add another zero and a second comma.

WaPo?
“Multiple Sources”?
CNN?

Well, that nails it, doesn’t it?

If President Trump DID say such a thing - well, good for him. I’m sick of importing people from third world shitholes. We have enough worthless human beings in our OWN country without bringing in more of them.
