Nebraska Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they floated restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to two people briefed on the meeting. “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump said, according to these people, referring to African countries and Haiti. He then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he met Wednesday.

whosebrian Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 WASHINGTON — President Trump on Wednesday balked at an immigration deal that would include protections for people from Haiti and African countries, demanding to know at a White House meeting why he should accept immigrants from “shithole countries” rather than people from places like Norway, according to people with direct knowledge of the conversation. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/11/us/politics/trump-immigration-norway-haiti.html?action=Click&contentCollection=BreakingNews&contentID=66345417&pgtype=Homepage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweepstakes Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hate to say it but it looks like being a dumb racist asshole might actually be helping his approval rating: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/ Granted there's probably some lag here.

auxien Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Yeah, there's at least a day or more lag on that stuff. His bumping up recently seems to have been from the holiday quiet, good end of year/beginning of year business/WallSt stuff, passing the tax bill, etc. Will be curious to see if today's "shithole" comments do anything at all. It's par for the course. Edited January 12, 2018 by auxien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caze Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 This "Shithole" business seems to be a further level of the degradation of his dementia, he's basically operating at Prince Phillip levels now. He'll be a total mess in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 To me it doesn't seem any different from anything else he's said about comparable subjects. His base won't care. Twitter is up in arms I'm sure. Just another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter is up in arms I'm sure. Just another day. yeah.. he said equally awful or worse things about haiti and africa a while back.. i guess just bluntly saying 'shithole' as a characterization and comparing to norway catches people in a different way.. though it's odd because previously he said, in regards to haitian immigrants "they all have aids" and about africans "they'll go back home to their huts" or something like that... so, he's just piling on more really..

caze Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 explicitly calling other countries 'shit holes' is most certainly an escalation of his rhetoric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 explicitly calling other countries 'shit holes' is most certainly an escalation of his rhetoric. Dunno how really. He's called Mexicans rapists. Actively worked to ban all Muslims from entering the country. Also, of course see: in regards to haitian immigrants "they all have aids" and about africans "they'll go back home to their huts" or something like that... He's just as terrible of a person as he was yesterday, publicly and privately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caze Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 jesus, I hadn't heard about the 'AIDS' comment, but that was just from a few weeks ago? so it's in the same timeframe as his current comments, re his declining mental state it all still fits. I'm not saying he hasn't always thought this stuff, he just had enough sense to not say it publicly, or at least add 'and some of them are nice people' or some other weasel words.

It was from a private meeting in the Oval Office. ...and the AIDS comments were from last year, not three weeks ago (only skimmed the article and misread). Still though, this wasn't a private meeting, it was with a bipartisan group of senators. As long as he's around anyone outside of his inner circle he should know better to modulate his outbursts at least somewhat. In the same meeting he initially said he was a big fan of some Democrat initiative apparently, until one of the Republicans jumped in and had to remind him that was verboten. He also made some really dumb comment about not having any opinion on what deal to make, and he'd just listen to what everyone else had to say. lol. He's not supposed to let on that he doesn't have a fucking clue what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambermonk Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I have zero doubts now that he's a racist, xenophobic bag of dog shit. As if all the ICEstapo raids weren't bad enough.Anyone who still vehemently defends him has no moral compass, and is devoid of compassion, empathy, logic, or intellect.
