White House does not deny Trump 's---hole' comments

Source: The Hill




BY JORDAN FABIAN - 01/11/18 05:33 PM EST

The White House on Thursday did not deny that President Trump referred to some immigrants as coming from “shithole countries” during a heated Oval Office meeting on immigration.

“Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people,” White House spokesperson Raj Shah said in a statement.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that Trump grew frustrated when lawmakers proposed retiring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and several African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal.

“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump said, according to the Post, in reference to African countries and Haiti.

trot out cronies (GOPs) to muddy what t-rump said. John Kelly comes to mind as one of the first ones to speak.

This is what I believe they will say.

These people are lazy and live off of hard working Americans.
They have diseases, such as Aids . . they are dirty, they do not believe in cleanliness.
They are thrugs, rapist, murders.

etc.

“Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people,” White House spokesperson Raj Shah said in a statement.

What Raj Shah meant to say was, "President Trump has his head up his ass and is fighting for air".

The White House regrets this error.

If there were no more Repukes on earth, they couldn't hurt Earth's population anymore. They could live is a Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge warehousey type mansion with all the every rich, wealthy things they could desire.

It should say "restoring" protections, not "retiring" protections. That's why they had the meeting--they wanted him to NOT retire the protections. The mistake is in The Hill story.

Daddy Fred would be proud.

The good news is, if the GOP continues to support the piece of shit in the Oval Office, they are doomed as a brand. Some Republican Congressmen will realize this, facilitating Trump's removal this year.

They'll have to disinfect the White House after that repulsive orange maggot is gone.
