    'President Donald Trump defended himself Sunday night after several days of controversy over his remarks about African countries, telling reporters, "I am not a racist."

    In remarks to reporters at a dinner photo opportunity with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said when asked if he is a racist, "No, I'm not a racist. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed."'

    Trump said: "No, I'm not a racist. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed."'

    When is someone going to tell this fat loser that using the 'I am the least/most __________ you have ever seen/interviewed' crap is not only stale and he has used it to death already.

    But it is also utterly and completely moronic.

    For this turd to be able to accurately say that, he would have to know every, single person the reporter has ever known AND somehow have some Racist Geiger Counter to tell how racist they were.
    On top of which, there is no such thing as a Racist Geiger Counter, so there is no way to know for certain how racist someone is.

    His statement is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to prove.

    But this is typical Trump. It's a stupid enough statement to appease most Trump voters (whom we know are uneducated and generally possess low IQ's). No reporter seems to have the guts to challenge him on this for fear of being barred from interviewing President Shithole again. And his people are either too stupid and/or too frightened to tell him how idiotic it makes him sound.
    Of course, we can be pretty sure that Pence - that meandering idiot - probably thinks it's a brilliant comeback.

    Teflon Don basks in your liberal tears.

    Maybe he'll drown.

    *bigly sad emoticon goes here*

    Racists almost never agree they're racist, they mostly genuinely believe they're not.

    Sort of how Barack Obama never practiced race-baiting or did any race-agitating? Sort of how it depends on the meaning of 'is'? Or would those two examples of Dem Party presidents be classified under the now classic category of "It's NEVER wrong when a leftist does it"? Yeah . . . that seems about right. Trump is a racist strictly because Trump hating RINOs and Trump hating leftists SAY that he is a racist.

    They make the claim without a shred of proof by pointing to the quite logical and accurate S-hole comment -- if he ever actually even said it -- and then saying that it proves racism, when it really only proves common sense in regards to intelligent immigration policies; something that leftists and their RINO allies . . . abhor. All this while hoping that the same pool of voters who punished the hell out of the Left for these types of raunchy attacks will THIS TIME fail to see what the same political thugs did again in coordination with their fake news leftist allied Mainstream Media political propaganda partners.

    Stop crying Obama, Hillary...it's just deflection.

    Trump has said other racist things, like about Mexicans and about his judge being of Mexican decent. His cabinet is primarilly all rich white men. He is a white racist & sexist. He doesn't value anyone who is not white, male and wealthy.

    Countries all over the world are protesting about Trump's shithole comment. We are losing our place in the world, losing all respect for our country. He's turning the USA into an outhouse.

    I argue using the view we all want maximum freedom. I try to understand racism, but do not allege to be an expert on others. What do I know even if I have known them for 20 years and talk daily to them. What are they not telling me? And merely because they talk as a racist to a left wing personality, does not mean they are racists at all. Maybe it is a bluff or an expression of fear or something else. I cut them slack in other words.

    To say republicans are racists begs for proof. Sadly I have yet to meet any person that supports Democrats ever offering a crumb of proof. They have tried very hard to prove it at times, but none of it amounts to proof.

    Once I composed a kind of long essay and posted it to a forum arguing that we all have a right to be racists. Blacks and whites have the same equal right. If a black hates me due to skin color, it is his right to hate me. It may not seem fair or just, but the person has the right completely.

    No he did not. Those were cases of hate-infused leftists (race-baiters and race-agitators all) cynically interpreting Trump's logical remarks as racism for cynical political reasons. Citizens have noticed; the same citizens who BEGAN methodically punishing the Left for scummy political tactics like that beginning in 2010. The Left has methodically been driven out of national power for a reason.

    If a black hates you because of your race, it is either because of what whites have done to him or what they have done to the black race, or both. Not simply because you are white. Whites, as far as I can tell, just hate blacks because they are black, always have.

    Trump may not be racist, but the character we see him play on tv is most definitely racist.

    Maybe trump is confusing fake news for obvious news.

    This is also very hilarious. Trump was there because he had to be. Do you think he has a choice? If he is told to make a speech honoring MLK and recognizing the national holiday for King, he can't say, no I won't do it. He looked worse than ever there, after what he had said about (black) people from "sh**hole" countries. He wasn't there out of the goodness and racist free center of his heart, LOL.

    he didn't have to be there, he got 0.1 percent of the black vote. most of the poor white people who voted for him cared about good paying jobs, not a holiday.

    I’m not convinced he is racist by conventional definition. He’s a nationalist and so looks down upon anyone who isn’t American though that can clearly racial stereotypes and bigoted generalisation. I doubt he consciously sees any of that. I honestly feel sorry for him sometimes because I don’t think he has the emotional range to understand how these statements are perceived by people. I don’t think he’s reacting angrily or defensively but in honest confusion.

    I think there is another element being overlooked here. The reports suggest his alleged comments were made in the context of a discussion about schemes for immigrants fleeing countries with natural disasters or political turmoil. On that basis, wondering why all those people are from “s***hole countries” rather than places like Norway suggests less racism and more gross ignorance of reality. It strikes me as like wondering why prisons are full of criminals or hospitals full of sick people.

    The word racist has gotten slung around on this site so much over the last 9 years that the word has lost its sting. During Obama the word racist was spouted against those who disagreed or opposed one or more of Obama's policies. Since he was black, the only reason to oppose or be against one or more of his policies was because you're a racist. Political ideology or how one viewed an Obama policy wasn't taken into consideration. Racist was used so much during Obama's reign that I just took the word to mean someone disagreed or opposed one of his policies or initiatives.

    Now the word is flung at Trump. Has the word racist now evolved to anyone who doesn't toe the Democratic Party line? Perhaps it has. It certainly is a word the Democrats try to use to their full advantage. I do know that I am tired of seeing that word spout forward every time someone has a policy difference. I don't know if Trump is a racist or not. I don't think anyone else does either. We can't get into his mind and if we could, we probably would just find a jumbled mess missing connection where there should be some and having some connection where there shouldn't be.

    What determines a racist? Perhaps each of us in their own way determines that in others. But not one of us can see into another man's heart or mind. There are quite a lot of us who take offense at something when none is meant. Does meaning count? I don't know. Make up your own mind.
