Donald Trump shows true colours in remarks about ‘shithole’ countries

He was so confident that every American who had ever voted for him or ever might shared his views that he didn’t even deny what he had said right away. It was reported as soon as the meeting finished on Thursday, but the first White House statement just defended his remarks: 'Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people,' writes Gwynne Dyer.

In a meeting last week with Congressmen and Senators, U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly asked 'why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?' Gage Skidmore/Flickr photograph
