      .@NBCNews source: As Durbin explained how deal would impact ppl from Haiti, Trump said, "Haiti? Why do we want people from Haiti here?" Then they got Africa. 'Why do we want these people from all these shithole countries here? We should have more people from places like Norway."

      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.

          So, is the White House line now that racist moves work for this president?https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/951585097483988992 …

          Staffers inside the White House aren't that worried about Trump's "shithole" remark -- with some predicting it will actually resonate with his base, not alienate it, much like his attacks on NFL players who kneel during the national anthem did.

          CNN: The President's "shithole" remark is being received much differently inside of the WH. Staffers predict the comment will resonate with his base.
