In recent Trump news, it was revealed that during the meeting earlier this week regarding the DACA program to protect immigrate children, that Tump asked lawmakers “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”, he then suggested that we need to accept more immigrates from countries like Norway. He even made a direct comment about Haiti asking, “Why do we need more Haitians? Take them out.”
According to CNN, the White House has respond by that 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.” Adding that Trumps comments will resonate with his core audience, just like is comments about the NFL kneeling.
Trump has denied all the other recent allegations. He tweeted, “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!”

Trump later tweeted Friday morning that he “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!”
All of Trump’s negative comments have been confirmed by a senator who was at the meeting.
