So how and why is President Trump denying the remarks that he reportedly said? I have some clarifying reporting from a source familiar the meeting. I want to start by saying that this does not make what he said any more acceptable, but it might shed some light on it all. 1/

First, when talking about “temporary protected status” countries as part of the immigration deal it was mentioned that Salvadorans, Hondurans and Haitians have that status. 3/

“Haitians?” the president said. “Why do we need more Haitians? Take them out” —- meaning take them out of the deal. 4/

Then in a separate part of the conversation when they were referencing the diversity visa lottery, President Trump referred to people coming from Africa as coming from “shithole countries.” Again, I’m not saying this is better. Just that this is what happened, per my source. 5/

It's no better that he said it about ANY country of color.

I think he has a bigger reason to deny it. He know that if he deny’s something, anything, that
@FoxNews will run with the denial and his base will believe the denial. It’s all about that “bass.” https://youtu.be/7PCkvCPvDXkThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Not sure what the point is, because these comments are not in a vacuum.

So your "sources" got it right, but he just was referring to 2 different conversations? Got it, and you wonder why so many people can't trust the media in anything. Hey, I just had 2 separate conversations about how "great" the media is doing. You wanna report that?
