Trump attacks protections for immigrants from "shithole countries" in Oval Office meeting

[PunkinPi]

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 yesterday.

The comments left lawmakers taken aback, according to people familiar with their reactions. Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) proposed cutting the visa lottery program by 50 percent and then prioritizing countries already in the system, a White House official said.

7. The man is sickening, racist, and gross.

This is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

Who says this: “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 yesterday.

John Heilemann says "he won't go to Africa because he is a germaphobe. He wants to go to countries like Norway, where he won't catch anything."

Further discussion of how he only values White People and doesn't believe that others don't belong here.

Heilemann just called the 55 minute meeting a Potemkin Village.

The panel is outraged and overwhelmed.

8. Too bad Dr. Nancy Isenberg wasn't there to school Twitler on the

waste people which was how European immigrants were described in the early history of America. The wealthy European classes used immigration to America to rid their societies of the lower uneducated classes.
