A man of wealth and taste
Let’s get the take from somewhere else first. The BBC:
US President Donald Trump has reportedly lashed out at immigrants in a four-letter Oval Office outburst.
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Mr Trump told lawmakers on Thursday, according to the Washington Post.
The remark was reportedly in reference to people from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries.
The White House did not deny the comment, which has been confirmed by other US media.
Wow.
We know that’s what he thinks, of course, but we didn’t all know he was quite that disinhibited.
Democratic Senator Richard Durbin had just been discussing US temporary residency permits granted to citizens of countries hit by natural disasters, war or epidemics, say US media.
According to the Post, Mr Trump told lawmakers the US should instead be taking in migrants from countries like Norway, whose prime minister visited him on Wednesday.
Hahaha riiiight – why would Norwegians want to come to this shithole? This shithole presided over by a piece of shit?
The New York Times reported three weeks ago that Mr Trump had said Haitians “all have Aids” during a June meeting about immigration.
A backlash to his latest alleged remarks was swift.
Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democratic lawmaker, tweeted: “I condemn this unforgivable statement and this demeaning of the office of the Presidency.”
Another black Democratic lawmaker, Cedric Richmond, said Mr Trump’s comments “are further proof that his Make America Great Again agenda is really a Make America White Again agenda”.
White and gold. Don’t forget the gold part.
Mind you he doesn’t want to Make America Totally White Again because if he did that who would tend his golf courses?
