Trump attacks protections for immigrants from ‘s***hole’ countries

[Belsnickel]

My take on this is that I don't have a problem with calling a shithole a shithole, I just see that as a reason to help people more, not less.

Also, some clarification from Jake Tapper in this tweet thread.

So how and why is President Trump denying the remarks that he reportedly said?

I have some clarifying reporting from a source familiar the meeting. I want to start by saying that this does not make what he said any more acceptable, but it might shed some light on it all. 1/
