After years of lying, Trump finally admits to saying what we all know he said.
But now he has fessed up.
In a speech Tuesday night in Pennsylvania, Trump boasted about pausing migration from what he called “Third World” countries, when he was interrupted by an audience member who yelled out “shithole.” That triggered Trump to recall a White House meeting during his first term that caused a stir over whether the president used a vulgar term to describe African countries.

Trump, Dec. 9: I’ve also announced a permanent pause on Third World migration, including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia and many other countries.
Audience member: Shithole.
Trump: I didn’t say shithole, you did. [Laughter.] Remember, I said that to the senators. They came in, the Democrats. They wanted to be bipartisan. So, they came in, and they said this is totally off the record. Nothing mentioned here. We wanted to be honest, because our country was going to hell, and we had a meeting and I say, “why is it we only take people from shithole countries,” right? Why can’t we have some people from Norway, Sweden — just a few — let us have a few, from Denmark. Do you mind sending us a few people? Send us some nice people, do you mind? But we always take people from Somalia, places that are a disaster, right? Filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime.
