Video: This Is What Trump Supporters Think About His "Shithole Countries" Comment

Seriously with Maryann

UPDATE: Miss Maryann must have taken down her videos but another source posted the video, so it's back up for all to see below.

********************************

While half the country (and much of the world) is appalled at Donald Trump's now-infamous "shithole countries" comment regarding folks coming to the U.S. from places like Haiti and Africa, this clip has gone viral on Facebook.

Check out "Seriously with Maryann" via Facebook, kids.

While some Trumpers try and explain his comments and tactics, I honestly think THIS is the true character of his base.

By the way, in the clip "Maryann" asks why people are coming to the United States from around the world. The fact that she even poses the question reveals she doesn't understand why America is great.

Just - watch. This is how we got here.

NOW Trump Denies Calling Haiti & Africa "Shithole Countries"

Donald Trump took some of his morning "Executive Time" to attempt some cleanup in the aftermath of calling Haiti and African nations "shithole countries."

Yesterday, aftere the report by The Washington Post about the comment made in the presence of lawmakers in the Oval Office, the White House issued a statement that did not deny his use of the slur.

Today, is a different story. At first, he was standing strong on the comments as they seemed to play well to his base.

Trump spent last night phoning allies and friends, asking them how they thought the “shithole” remark was playing out in the press. One White House official referred to it as a “victory lap.”

Then, on Trump "fave rave" TV show Fox & Friends, the hosts denounced the comment and said he should "walk it back:"

At 7:06 am, Fox & Friends' Brian Kilmeade said Trump "made a mistake" with the "shithole" comment and should "walk it back."

At 7:28 am, Trump Tweeted that that was "not the language used." pic.twitter.com/t1fr5RxHKJ

And he did...

The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!

Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!

43% of immigrants from “shithole” African countries have a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 33% of the overall American population.

It’s not how a president should speak. It’s not how a president should behave. Most of all, it’s not what a president should believe. We’re better than this.

Cover Of Today's NY Daily News

From the cover story of today's New York Daily News:

Social media erupted Thursday after President Trump slammed protections for immigrants from “s--thole countries” in the Caribbean and Africa, while some leaders chose to ignore his controversial remarks.

“Why are we having all these people from s--thole countries come here?” the President reportedly griped during an Oval Office meeting Thursday afternoon.

Advocacy group leaders called Trump’s comments “racist” but chose not to focus on his latest attack on immigrants.

“How does one even react to that?” said Ninaj Raoul, co-founder of Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees (HWHR,) told the Daily News Thursday.

.@realDonaldTrump: “The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used.”

Multiple people were in the Oval Office and heard Trump say “shithole countries.”

He said it and instead of apologizing — he is lying. Trump is a RACIST and a LIAR.

My family came from Norway, and I can tell you that we Norwegians think Trump is a racist "shithole."

Trump Calls Haiti And African Countries "Shithole Countries" In Oval Office Meeting

How very presidential.

From The Washington Post:

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.

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 prioritizing countries already in the system, a White House official said.

Now, let's think: what's the difference between folks from Norway and folks from Africa?

#RacistMuch?

The White House issued a statement which does not deny Trump's statement.

The president will only accept an immigration deal that adequately addresses the visa lottery system and chain migration — two programs that hurt our economy and allow terrorists into our country.

Like other nations that have merit-based immigration, President Trump is fighting for permanent solutions that make our country stronger by welcoming those who can contribute to our society, grow our economy, and assimilate into our great nation.

He will always reject temporary, weak, and dangerous stopgap measures that threaten the lives of hardworking Americans, and undercut immigrants who seek a better life in the United States through a legal pathway.

Irony alert: I’m told President Trump was taping a message for Martin Luther King Jr. this afternoon just as news of the “shithole” immigration remark was breaking.

So President doesn't want immigrants from "shithole" countries in Africa and Haiti. Thinks we should bring more people from Norway. I'm trying to think if that's racist.

He said all Haitians have AIDS. He said Nigerians live in huts. He called Mexicans rapists. This is who Donald Trump is. There is a moral vacuum in the White House. https://t.co/OpyIpUuNda
