Here's What Trump Had to Say About His 'Sh*thole Countries' Comment
A White House official went as far as to call this his "victory lap".
The president said at the White House that "love was central" to the slain civil rights leader.
Trump, who denied using the vulgar term toward Haitians in a tweet on Friday, reportedly said in the meeting that the United States should let in more people from places such as Norway, whose prime minister met with him at the White House on Wednesday. The President did not answer.
Paul Altidor, Haiti's ambassador to Washington, said it was distressing that attention was drawn to the president's reported comments on Friday, the eighth anniversary of a massive quake believed to have killed 220,000 people on the island, which should be a day of remembrance.
The African Union said Friday that President Donald Trump's reported description of African nations as "sh*hole countries" broke with "accepted behaviour" and was "extremely upsetting".
"We're now well into the 21st century, and the president of what is purported to be the most powerful nation on earth just set a new low in our policy", NAN National Vice President the Rev. Nelson B. Rivers III said.
"Shithole was the exact word used once not twice but repeatedly", Mr Durbin was quoted to have said. "I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians". "Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!" "In the course of his comments, President Trump said things which were hate-filled, vile and racist", Durbin said Friday in a statement his office provided to the newspaper. "If those countries aren't as you described, Democrats should be happy to deport criminal aliens back to them".

In a flurry of tweets yesterday, Mr Trump defended his immigration stance while claiming the reports about his meeting with senators were inaccurate.
"Why are we having all these people from s**thole countries come here?"
Fox News host Tucker Carlson opened his Thursday night's show by suggesting Trump said what everyone already knows. "I represent Florida, and we are an unbelievable melting pot where over 250 languages are spoken", Scott said in a statement. He added Trump's mouth was "the foulest shithole in the world".
"The majority of the Africans who come here are already here on the merit-based immigration", Dau told South Sudan in Focus.
He doesn't deny that Trump possibly used the word "shithole" to describe Haiti and Africa, but he believes it's been taken out of context.
"The president of the United States is racist".
