There were many lawmakers in this meeting. Assuming the Post and NBC stories hold up, it will be hard for
@PressSec to claim this isn't accurate. It's incredibly damning comments from the president of the United States.Show this thread -

He thinks Africa is a country.

Arguably, this shows he knows Africa contains multiple "countries." Not sure I get why you think that. I think he just lumps them all together as "shithole countries," which is appalling and racist, but ... the quote is "countries."

Fair enough. I read it as equating Africa and Haiti. Just once I want DC press corps to borrow from Spy magazine playbook and ask him about “the situation in Freedonia."

Too bad this behavior and character has been normalized and the media will not break character for once to shame the individual currently in office. Smh.
