Sorry, I don't talk to racist trolls.
Which African countries? all your sources just say "some African countries."Are you in denial? You posted Trump has not done anything racist. Calling all African countries shithole countries was seen as very racist by several African leaders.You said you are from Ghana, Africa. Do Ghanians not see themselves as Africans?
Which African countries? all your sources just say "some African countries."Which African countries are okay? Egypt? South Africa?Equatorial Guinea, Seychelles, and Mauritius?Which ones are shitholes? Which ones are just so-so?None of your sources claim Trump thinks all special treatment policies toward all of Africa should be rescinded.Could it possibly be Trump would rather give preferential treatment to countries that have a strong GDP and have cultures embracing free markets and liberty over totalitarian socialism, regardless of the skin tone?
Once again, fake news tries to spin racism and fails.
It's kind of funny because at the time, I didn't even bother to do any research on the news story when it broke because my first reaction was "Thank god Trump is not afraid to draw a distinctive line between countries with screwed up, dysfunctional governments and the United States."It's even worse than that. There is no audio or video of Trump saying so, some witnesses there saying they did not hear Trump say so, is a hearsay account brought a full day later by a never Trumper, and which Trump himself denies saying!So a no corroboration, hearsay story denied by the supposed speaker has morphed into All "African countries"Fake news indeed.
You wrote: "Here is the actual text from your source.The source said Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin was explaining to him (Trump) a proposal to end the visa lottery in exchange for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for countries such as El Salvador. Durbin was going through a list of TPS countries that would be covered. When he got to Haiti, Trump asked why the US wants more people from Haiti and African countries.Now what I want to know is which countries were on Durbin's list for TPS?Surely it could not be all countries in Africa.Oh wow..lookie here..looks like there are only 10 countries on the TPSSurely Africa is more than 10 countries :DOnce again, fake news tries to spin racism and fails. Considering Trump was specifically referring to the countries on Senator Durbin's(D) TPS list as shithole countries."
It was after discussing TPS the senators moved on to discuss US immigration from African countries, that is when Trump called people from African nations shitholes.
Here is a real life example linate. Tell me if you consider Trump's behavior here to be racist or not.Trump Slammed as 'Racist' for 'Mocking' Indian Call Center WorkerDonald Trump brought up the issue of outsourcing American jobs in an improvisation on the campaign trail yesterday that some people are calling racist.Trump addressed the fact that many call centers now operate out of India, and said he wanted to see how it worked for himself.“You ever call up on your credit card? You want to find out about your credit card. Guess what? You’re talking to a person from India! You say, ‘How the hell does that work,’” the GOP candidate said at a rally in Harrington, Delaware.“So I called up, under the guise I’m checking on my card. I say, ‘Where are you from?’ They say, ‘We are from India.’ (imitating the indian accent) Oh, great. That’s wonderful. Thank you very much,” he added, signaling as if hanging up a phone.As always, critics have been quick to respond.Some slammed the Republican front-runner for “mocking” Indians, while others said they could barely tell he was putting on an accent, Fox and Friends Weekend reported.Was Trump being racist?
That's a straight up falsehood. Even your own sources you posted say Trump said his shithole comment while interrupting Durbin's (D) explanation for the then current TPS policy. You are spinning a narrative out of thin air refuting the very sources you cited.

There are so many hidden policy gems Trump has done to put America first that you would never discover following mainstream media.Looks like I will have to wait for the real story to come out after the fake news dies."
White House confirms Trump's shithole comments.
Why indeed.You are refuting the actual source of the WAPO story....now why would you do such a thing?
Reply. GreyparrotIt absolutely did...This is the actual copy and paste text from the source link imbedded in your link. Although I added the "trump" and "tps" in parentheses for clarification and context.Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin was explaining to him (Trump) a proposal to end the visa lottery in exchange for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for countries such as El Salvador. Durbin was going through a list of TPS countries that would be covered.
