President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they discussed granting entry to immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to several people briefed on the meeting.
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump said, according to these people, referring to countries mentioned by the lawmakers.
Trump then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he met with Wednesday. The president, according to a White House official, also suggested he would be open to more immigrants from Asian countries because he felt they help the United States economically.
In addition, the president singled out Haiti, telling lawmakers that immigrants from that country must be left out of any deal, these people said.
“Why do we need more Haitians?” Trump said, according to people familiar with the meeting. “Take them out.”
Trump is okay with smart Asians and very white people like Norwegians so he can't be racist.
There is an op-ed in the New York Times that sounds an optimistic note. It is written by a past president of the American Psychiatric Association, Maybe Trump Is Not Mentally Ill. Maybe He Is Just A Jerk.
See, there is hope.
I assume that "jerk" is psychiatrist code for "asshole."
