According to a report in the New York Times, Trump held a meeting about immigration earlier this year where he went on racist rants about immigrants.
It appears that the President was miffed that the riff-raff were still entering the USA.
According to the Times, the president complained that more than 2,500 immgirants were from Afghanistan, a terrorist haven. (In reality, the US has been admitting people who helped it in the Afghanistan War and face threats from the Taliban)
Haiti had sent 15,000 people. They “all have AIDS,” he grumbled, according to one person who attended the meeting and another person who was briefed about it by a different person who was there.
Forty thousand had come from Nigeria, Mr. Trump added. Once they had seen the United States, they would never “go back to their huts” in Africa, recalled the two officials, who asked for anonymity to discuss a sensitive conversation in the Oval Office.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, denied on Saturday morning that Mr. Trump had made derogatory statements about immigrants during the meeting.
