Discussion: Trump Denies 'Sh*thole' Comment, Says He's 'The Least Racist Person'

To be fair, there is some dispute about whether he said s***hole or s***house.
There is a qualitative difference between the 2.

It is really becoming apparent that the inability to apologize, admit flaws or failures is much bigger in this man’s psyche than I appreciated. Even if he felt he was unfairly impugned, he has not an ounce of contrition to him. There are no “I am sorry if I was misunderstood” moments at a minimum. Simply defend and attack.

“Did you see what various senators in the room said about my comments?” the President responded. “They weren’t made.”

“You heard me correctly. My comments weren’t made.”

Honest question:

What is the point of typing “sh*thole” instead of the actual word? Seriously, everybody knows the word you are referencing and in fact we all read the ACTUAL word in our heads when we see that so why bother?

/shrug i don’t get the cuss word thing in general. Now not saying the N word or something like that is different.

Hmm. It’s times like this that having an ounce of credibility might be worthwhile.

Trump would lose at he-said-she-said to Teddy Ruxpin.

When someone can write a definitive list on your racist statements and acts, you know, you just might be a racist.

Someone should beat this into Trump’s wooden head:

Superfluous Advice

Should they whisper false of you,
Never trouble to deny.
Should the words they say be true,
Weep and storm, and swear they lie.

If you have to say, “I am the least racist person you’ve ever met,” then you are most assuredly a racist.

This was a key part of the Roy Cohn Training he got early in his adult daze. It was relatively harmless when he was a faux-real-estate NYC con man. Not so harmless now.

The good news about Roy Cohn Training is that all of its practitioners and promulgators to date do eventually become disgraced, drunken, and dead at the national level.

For two-thirds of the US, Trump is a disaster and is making the country ungovernable. But there is still a group that supports him. I met such a guy last weekend. He thought Trump was an “excellent businessman” whatever else you might say about him. Fucked a porn star, big deal. What guy doesn’t want to do that? Alpha male life. Drilling deeper, I realized he had very little knowledge about Trump’s checkered business history or his family history. It wasn’t racism either in this case. He truly believed that Trump was good for business, good for the economy and good for funding the military (he worked as a contractor). Similarly, the shithole comment was spot on in his view. Corrupt countries are often shitholes, and based on Transparency International’s rankings, quite corrupt.

Surely someone recorded the meeting, after all Sara Hucckster claimed she played a recording the other day they must have some tape.

When you put a comma in there, Trump is telling the truth!

“I am the least [ie worst], racist person you have ever interviewed.”

  1. Trump is a proven liar

  2. He can only say he isn’t a racist with a straight face because for him ONLY blacks are racist against whites, and he certainly isn’t against whites.

The man is a JERK.

Some people think this is all proof of Trump’s genius. He is keeping the left outraged and distracted while playing nine dimensional chess. I can agree he is good at keeping the left outraged, but I’m still waiting for evidence of the second half of that claim.
