Email Address SUBMIT President Trump defended himself from claims that he is a racist after reportedly saying Haiti and some African nations are “shithole countries” last week.
“No. I’m not a racist. I’m the least racist person you will ever interview,” Trump said Sunday before eating dinner with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy at Mar-a-Lago, his club in Florida.
The subject of Trump’s views on race — specifically whether he is racist against black and brown people — have been called into question this week after his reported comments during an Oval Office meeting on immigration.
Trump also reportedly repeatedly questioned an intelligence officer of Korean descent about where she was from, not accepting New York or Manhattan for an answer, until she said her parents were from South Korea. He then reportedly asked another staffer why the “pretty Korean lady” wasn’t working on North Korea.
Those statements come months after Trump said there were good people on both sides of the violence in Charlottesville, Va., over the summer, one of which included the KKK and neo-Nazis.
Trump was dining with McCarthy to talk about a busy week in Congress, which must reach a spending deal by Jan. 19 or the government will run out of money and shut down.

When did Haiti move to Africa?
No matter what Trump says or does, the Left will call him a racist; so there’s really nothing to lose by being bold.
Other Republicans should take notice of that fact.
Feldscher might meet someone less racist but not interview him or her.
You got it backward —— Africa moved to Haiti via Dutch/English/Spanish ships. (Tickets were sold to them via Black brothers! Go figure.)
Well, ol’ John Lewis and UT’s Love say emphatically that he is “racist.” How would those two buffoons know?
Here's the Clintons hanging out with a known white supremacist racist! They knew! #TheyKnew
If Trump was such a horrible known racist...then why were so many politicians angling to have their pictures taken with him and pursued him to make contributions to their campaigns prior to 2016???
Remembering in the Presidential debates, and Dr. Ben Carson did not hear his name and was waiting, then Ted Cruz came, and walked by Ben Carson, then someone else... When Donald Trump was called, he stayed beside a candidate of darker skin pigment. He showed great respect.
Didn’t DJT date a black woman for quite a while?
If Haiti moved to Africa it would still be one of the poorest countries in its’ hemisphere and still be a Shi_Hole!
He dated a mixed-race model named Kara Young for a couple of years in the late 1990s.
I don’t think he’s racist. I think he just says whatever crosses his mind at any time without the slightest concern for how it will sound or what conclusions people might draw.
I often tell my children, “Just because a thought crossed your mind doesn’t mean it has to come out your mouth.”

Reportedly, reportedly, reportedly. Maybe they should report what he actually says instead of making up lies for their base to go around parroting like it was Gospel.
