The word “shithole” graced the front of President Trump’s D.C. hotel Saturday evening, along with flying “poo” emojis in a multimedia display.
The video projection also included the “Pay Trump bribes here” “emoluments welcome,” and “we are all responsible to stand up and end white supremacy”
Watch here:
On Thursday evening, reports broke that Trump had criticized the Gang of Six senators’ plan to reinstate TPS programs for El Salvador, Haiti, and some African nations.
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump reportedly in the White House meeting with a group of senators, including Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. According to the Washington Post, Trump then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries such as 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 that they help the United States economically.
Meanwhile, the comment sparked outrage among Democrats who did not hesitate to publicly slam Trump for what many said was a racist comment.
President Trump denied the comment on Friday, tweeting “this was not the language used” during the DACA meeting.
The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made – a big setback for DACA!

He then following up by claiming he “never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings – unfortunately, no trust!”

Despite Trump’s vehement denial, it wasn’t enough to keep enraged activists from pulling off a vulgar, poo-themed protest of the President.
