Donald Trump repeatedly called African nations 'shitholes,' senator says
However, his advisers notably did not dispute the most controversial of his reported remarks: using the word "s**thole" to describe African nations, and saying he would prefer immigrants from countries like Norway instead. "What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!" he said in one of the tweets.
Trump reportedly made the remark as Senator Dick Durbin, a Democrat from IL, was explaining the outlines of an agreement reached by six bipartisan senators that would protect almost 800,000 young immigrants from deportation as well as bolster border security, according to the Washington Post.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., also a Cuban-American, said Trump's language, "should not be heard in locker rooms and it shouldn't be heard in the White House". "That is what I intend to give them".
On Thursday, though, during White House talks about an immigration plan that would include protections for people from Haiti and other countries, Trump exploded with his "sh**hole" remarks, according to sources.
"The United States was built off of the backs of those who migrated from a wide array of countries", said Richardson, whose 43rd Assembly District in Brooklyn comprises large concentration of Haitians and people of African descent.
Lewis said that Trump had undermined 25 years of African goodwill towards the U.S. "to essentially give the back of his hand to 49 countries south of the Sahara creates real problems in many ways".
Trump then reportedly said the USA should bring in more immigrants from countries like Norway. The White House said Trump would not undergo a psychiatric exam. Officials did not address a different type of screening: assessments of cognitive status that examine neurologic functions including memory.
The church says they have been working with refugees in Haiti since the island was struck by a 7.0 magnitude natural disaster that killed more than 220,000 people in 2010. "As Sen. (Lindsey) Graham made his presentation, the president interrupted him several times with questions and in the course of his comments, said things which were hate-filled, vile and racist".

Citing people close to the President, Wolff has said the President has begun repeating three stories in conversations in less than 10 minutes, when he used to repeat stories in about a 30-minute window.
Durbin described the discussions in the Oval Office in detail.
On Friday (local time) the President tweeted that his language was "tough" but insisted he did not say anything derogatory about Haiti aside from noting it's a poor country.
"In the spirit of the people of Haiti we feel in the statements, if they were made, the president was either misinformed or miseducated about Haiti and its people, " the ambassador, Paul G. Altidor, said in a statement. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. "Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!"
