Trump: 'Never said anything derogatory about Haitians'

President Trump on Friday said he may begin recording future meetings after he alleged Democrats he met with at the White House on Thursday fabricated derogatory remarks about Haiti.

"Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said 'take them out.' Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!" Trump tweeted Friday morning.

*snip*

Earlier Friday morning, Trump rejected reports that he told lawmakers that the U.S. should block immigrants from "shithole" countries, but admitted he used "tough" language in that meeting.

"The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used," Trump wrote. "What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made — a big setback for DACA!"

The pushback comes the morning after the Washington Post reported that sources from a bipartisan meeting between Trump and senators recalled the president saying Haiti, El Salvador and some African countries were "shithole countries" and asked why the U.S. should accept immigrants from there.

The day that Trump made the left spend 24 hours saying how beautiful and successful the Sh!thold countries are, thus negating their argument that illegals can’t go home because their home country is a Sh!thole.

Whatever President Trump said is guaranteed to be either (a) distorted, (b) omitted, (c) exaggerated, (d) taken out of context or fabricated. Reporter = liar. Liars lie...that is what they do. No surprise there.

Why do you accept the left’s narrative? Sad.

The accusation of what Trump supposedly said is unsubstantiated and the source is unknown. Don’t be so quick to buy the left-wing propaganda.

eagleone: “From a liberal mindset though, that’s how they see it.”

Maybe so, but it’s absolutely false to claim that nationality is the same thing as race. There is no such thing as our truth and their truth. There is only THE truth, and the left are liars.

I HOPE he said it.
And if he did say it he is correct, he didn’t say ANYTHING about Haitians, he spoke the TRUTH about their country.

Having had the displeasure of being in Haiti, I can confirm the country is a Sh!thole.

What is amazing is the instant difference in road quality, housing, attitude etc. as soon as you cross the border into the Dominican Republic.

Yo, demonicRATS, Washington Examiner, why don't you go down to Harlem and talk to aome actual Haitians and tell us what they think of B.J. and Cankles Clintons.

Go on offense, Mr. President. I'm sure you've seen the protestos outside Clinton's office.

Who to believe? President Trump or some lying, sniveling, disloyal, anti-American democrat scumbag. Who to believe?

There were Republicans in the room as well. Why aren't they supporting the President's account of what was said?

He said shirthole. He was talking about skilled tailors from poor countries. Times have changed and we don’t need as many tailors.

“Secondly, nationality isn’t the same thing as race.”

Put another way, it’s not the race of people we’re looking at, it’s their lack of skills and likely bad behavior.
