Trump Accuses Dems Of Wanting Government Shut Down

To no surprise, the president started tweeting this morning, denying that he used those words.

Trump has been accused of using the word “shithole” to describe African countries during an Oval Office meeting Thursday with a bipartisan group of six senators, according to people briefed on the conversation. “Quite frankly, I got pretty passionate and I ran a little hot, too. I’m the least racist person you will ever interview”, Trump told reporters while entering Trump International Golf Course.

Three White House officials said Perdue and Cotton told the White House that they heard “sh*thouse” rather than “sh*thole”, allowing them to deny the president’s comments on television over the weekend.

That means President Trump and lawmakers on Capitol Hill are hurtling toward a government shutdown, with funding set to run out at midnight on January 19.

Haitians protest outside Donald Trump’s Florida retreat over his comments about their country.

“Dr. King’s dream is our dream”.

African American leaders, however, expressed deep concern about the direction of the nation.

We should all be kicked out if that happens.

The “President has the right to make whatever remarks he wants and we respect the President”, Goldstein said, but he noted that diplomats had been instructed to “reaffirm that the U.S. remains committed to its relationships with these countries and cares deeply about their people”. “And I’m telling you it’s a gross misrepresentation”, Perdue said on ABC’s “This Week”.

Jackson also declared Trump, who is 71, to be in “excellent” health for a man his age, and said his cardiovascular system in particular is in good shape.

“The guy in control has given people and racism.an opportunity to be out and outspoken without fear”.

South Africa’s deputy president, Cyril Ramaphosa, called the statement “really, really derogatory” and “hugely offensive”, adding, “It demonstrates precisely the type of leader he is”.

Haiti’s ambassador to the United States said Monday that President Donald Trump’s recent comments about Haiti “hurt the country”, adding that he hopes the President will visit the nation. Graham also noted he told Trump in the meeting that America is “not defined by its people, but by its ideals”. “Where we are is trying to find a real solution”, Gardner said on CBS’ “Face the Nation”. “And I think if we can get back to the negotiating table quietly, calmly, I think we can get it done – because we have no other option”.

Similar sentiments were expressed at marches in NY and Los Angeles while a small group of demonstrators waving Haitian flags faced off with Trump supporters in West Palm Beach.

With Congress heading towards another government shutdown, all eyes are on negotiators as they scramble to come up with a spending deal that will placate members on both sides of the aisle. The program shielded these immigrants, often referred to as “Dreamers”, from deportation and granted them work permits.

“Anything is possible. Yes, mam”, Nielsen said in response to a question from Sen. Diaz-Balart was in the meeting where Trump reportedly used the words “sh-hole countries”, but declined to discuss anything that was said in the meeting.

“Following comments by the president, I said my piece directly to him yesterday. Durbin blew DACA and is hurting our Military”.

Congressional Democrats, hoping for a vote tsunami in midterm elections this fall, are being driven on by a raging anti-Trump grassroots voting base as they seek to shield almost 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children.

The White House rejected a proposal by Graham and Durbin, along with other Republican and Democratic senators, that would have put young undocumented immigrants on a path to citizenship while providing $2.8 billion for border security, including $1.6 billion for a wall.
