      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/

      The president did not refer to Haiti as a “shithole” country according to the source familiar with the meeting… though he DID say it about countries in Africa... What happened, the source says, is there was a conflation of two different remarks by the president. 2/

      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/

          I'm sure many GOP congressmen will now continue to be "disappointed."

          No. The "conflation"of the two separate comments didn't change the meaning of the comments. It simply reinforced what he meant. It was racist. You of all people need to stop parsing it. It's a distinction without a difference.

          This does not make it better? Also he’s been an on the record racist since the housing settlement in the 70s.

          What he does find acceptable is Kushners awarding visas with condo sales to wealthy Chinese and wealthy Russian women paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to stay in his properties so their children are born as Americans. A win-win for him. That's not America First.
