White House appears unfazed by Trump's 's---hole countries' comment

Nor should it be... it was inarticulate but not inaccurate. Here is what the State Depart itself says about the the some countries mentioned:

Terrorists continue to plot kidnappings, bombings, and other attacks in Somalia. They may attack with little or no warning, targeting airports and seaports, government buildings, hotels, restaurants, shopping areas, and other areas where large crowds gather and Westerners frequent, as well as government, military, and Western convoys.
Pirates are active in the waters off the Horn of Africa, especially in the international waters near Somalia.
The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Somalia due to the lack of permanent consular presence in Somalia.
Due to risks to civil aviation operating within or in the vicinity of Somalia, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR).

Reconsider travel to Sudan due to terrorism and civil unrest. Some areas have increased risk.
Do not travel to: The Darfur region, Blue Nile state, and Southern Kordofan state due to crime and armed conflict.
Terrorist groups continue plotting attacks in Sudan, especially in Khartoum. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting foreign and local government facilities, and areas frequented by Westerners. Terrorists groups in Sudan have stated their intent to harm Westerners and Western interests through suicide operations, bombings, shootings, and kidnappings.
There is a state of emergency in place, which gives security forces greater arrest powers. Arbitrary detentions, including of foreigners, have been reported across the country. Curfews may be imposed with little or no warning.
The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Sudan, as U.S. government employees must obtain special authorization from the Sudanese government to travel outside of Khartoum. The U.S. Embassy requires U.S. government personnel in Sudan to use armored vehicles for official travel. Family members under 21 years of age cannot accompany U.S. government employees who work in Sudan.

So Captain perhaps you even served in one of these s**tholes yourself and if you did I know you counted the days till you could return home... So why would you want these people here without a stringent screening and immigration process and the ability to make a contribution to society; and if they get here in the end why do we need the entire extended family here.

If they can make a contribution to the society I say bring them here... if all they are going to do is go on welfare and suck this country dry... I say they should work really hard to make there s**thole better. Please no faux outrage.

Of course, most of them agree. Check the statement below,which goes to show what has been said about his supporters

A Republican close to the White House believes the comment helps Trump with his base, comparing it to the president’s slamming the NFL players who kneeled during the national anthem.

If only Trump was classy enough to use a cigar. Then the Left would really love him.
