    Not just Trump, but other Republicans are really calling Dick Durbin a liar because Durbin said Trump said Africa & Haiti are shitholes when they think he said shithouses. I have never heard the word shithouse in my life. This is ludicrous and wildly disrespectful.

        Interestingly - when I googled 'shithole countries', once I got past the news reports, about 95% of references to countries as 'shitholes' were written by people on neo-nazi and white supremacist websites.

        Looks like Trump paid a porn star hush money for alleged sex acts while Melania was pregnant with Barron-& we’re arguing shithole/shithouse?

        It's like me telling my kids I really said "truck" when I broke my phone. Even my 3 year old knew I said F!#k.

        The word doesn't matter! It's the intent. His intent was to imply that the PEOPLE from these countries are also shitholes/shithouses so why would we want them. They can spin it, but he is a racist. ~ MaryAnn

        Agree but "shithouse" is very common slang in Australia As in "Trump's a shithouse President and he's turning the US into a real shithole" #straya

        A racist is a racist regardless of whether he uses vulgar language or which vulgar language he actually uses. The fact anyone wants to defend him at all is #sad no matter what he said still racist and zip, zilch, zero defense exists for this.

        Even if Trump did say "shithouses" instead of "shitholes," it makes no difference - his blatantly racist statement still has the same meaning and intent.
