Detbuch, if Trump had said "we can't take in untold millions of penniless immigrants. We need more people who are already self sufficient and who live in a culture more like ours". If he had said that, I wouldn't have a problem with it, because the unfortunate truth is that it's an accurate thing to say.

It's also OK to call Haiti a #^&#^&#^&#^&hole country, because that's exactly what it is. Violently oppressive, horribly corrupt, beyond dysfunctional. He didn't say, or even come close to implying, that all Haitians are #^&#^&#^&#^&ty people, yet of course that's exactly how the media is spinning it. I saw people on every channel last night talking about the wonderful Haitian people they know. That's absurd. He was talking about the way the country is run. And he is right.

A year in, he has to know that statement, will be painted as if he said "we need fewer blacks and more whites". Maybe that's what he meant. Maybe it's not close to what he meant. But the media is going to act as if that's exactly what he said, and that increases the likelihood that Nancy Pelosi becomes the speaker again. We can't have that.
