He's describing the meeting. Said so-called president used the term "Shithole" -- yes, he actually said it on air, live -- and he said Trump used the term repeatedly.

(6,402 posts)if you're just looking at certain media outlets there's only going to be so much coverage and the anchors there tend to prefer putting republicans on to begin with and then a host of other personalities to get things out rather than dems.

I understand a few newscasters' reluctance to say it, but shithole-45 has brought the term to the table, and he needs it welded in big letters around his neck. Every sign with the word "Trump" should also have "shithole" appended to it.

when you are in a room with Repubs who are going to say, either that you lied or exaggerated.
Plus, Rump has to add him to his vindication list to get back 10 x.
