Trump bats away accusations of racism: 'I'm the least racist person you'll ever interview'

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.

Poorest country I’ve ever been to was sewage on the pier El Salvador. I would still take one of the penniless dock workers who’d never seen a pancake over Trump.

And at least Ireland might have been poor, but they still were a country that still believed in the superiority of Western Civilization.

El Salvador produces some great people - sweet Maybelline and all her darling little children, Normita, Miss Silvia - and some very evil people. MS-13 is real and really bad.

I was just remembering that yesterday. An anti-Trump relative was telling me about a speech she’d seen given by Carson on C-Span. She was impressed by him and I pointed out that she might give a little credit to Trump for appointing him. Then I mentioned the gesture you spoke of (Trump waiting for Carson).

Very hard to make any kind of dent in Never-Trumpism.

The pointless insults are making me think that deep down I have won this argument.

Think I’ll go back to hanging out with normal people now.

That’s going to be so. It’s a cost of socialism.

My judgement was based on the level of intellect you’ve displayed here.

The fact that you missed my point entirely simply reinforces my original judgement.

That’s rather insulting.

Not all men are capable of freedom. People currently here in America prove that daily. People with no ties to western civilization nor any desire to adopt the American culture should not come here...and we, a fully populated continent, have no need whatsoever to bring them here.
