Well if he said it he has a point.

Why aren't Americans lining up to get into those countries ?

Why do they come here if they are so abused and unhappy ?

Surely they want to go back home after the American experience.

After all the ethnic study classes here, imagine the disappointment returning home to Haiti, and having no white people to blame for everything.

I think 1/3 of Americans think this way too. They are the ones who will love seeing this and say "he tells it like it is."

That is the real issue. That this many people see black and brown people as beneath them.

Quotes like this (which we hear all the time) are the reason the KKK and the American Nazi party supported him. And this is who the Evangelical "Christians" support? Really? (Facepalm)

C'mon Republicans, is this how you want to be seen
Trump needs to rally the base, i would not be surprised if we see more of this..

Gossip has a tendency to change what's actually been said.
Read the WH response. There's no denial at all.

Most us are descendants of people who came from s-hole countries at that point in history. Our ancestors were castouts and economic failures. Others were forced to come from primitive societies. We built what was, before Trump, one of the best nations on earth with hard work and, above all, tolerance and acceptance of each other, our varied backgrounds and ethnicity.

Growing up, at the dinner table we'd discuss the news of the day. I remember being as young as 4th grade and knowing everyone in the Kennedy cabinet. We watched Huntley and Brinkley and Cronkite nightly. On weekends we never missed Meet the Press or Face the Nation. Watched these as a family (only 1 black and white TV in the house).

I know things have changed, but surely some trump supporters, some GOP members of Congress have to deal with their kids and grandkids about trump's words. What do they say to the younger generations???
