Lol, I have no problem with what he said and I am far from being his base, I voted for Hillary and do not like Trump before he ever entered politics.

People are harping all over Trump, yet ignoring the leaders of countries where people are risking their lives to flee from.

There isn't any such thing as a Native American, because humans are not indigenous to the Americas. But if you're going to define it based on time of first arrival, then Europeans are the Native Americans, as they were the first people to set foot on the continent.

If the US absolutely must import Africans, we should limit it to White Africans - as they are the only people that need refuge from the majority.

Those requirements are there; I suspect honored in the breach. Also they pull in droves of relatives who would not otherwise qualify.

Please name something, a country or even a city that is predominantly black and operated by black politicians and is not a sh$thole.

Pres. Trump is lowering the standards of the office to a place never before occupied by a sitting President.
msn, corrupted by the left, have only themselves to blame for their lowered standard, those standards had gone by the wayside during the last admin.

Well, this thread only confirms that racial tensions/resentment never went away. Now it is just erupting beyond the surface.

The damage he is inflicting on his own party, will take a long time to repair once he is gone. I mean, the UN Security Council denounces the comments of the President of the United States, something they would do with leaders of a third world nation, or rogue nation. People are going to be so sick and tired of this drama, I can see a humiliating and humbling landslide in the making.
We (and I did not vote for him) thought this way in August 2016. Look what happened. The Democrats need to return to the people and away from transgender bathrooms and transsexuals in the military fast.

You go too far. They did have music and their musical contributions have been quite strong. Don't over-make the case.

To all you sanctimonious, holier than though fakers, get off your high horse! Show me your outrage when Graham called Mexico a "hellhole."

"Our problem is we can’t have everybody in the world who lives in a HELLHOLE come to America."

Even Trump didn't say this.
