Sooo, here we go again.
President Donald Trump had a meeting with lawmakers in the Oval Office Thursday, in which the topic was protection for immigrants from places like Haiti, El Salvador, and some African countries.
The commander-in-chief's measured, sympathetic response? "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" the president said according to the Washington Post.
Um, yeah. He apparently then suggested the U.S. accept more people from Norway, according to three people that spoke to the Post. That's the same Norway whose Prime Minister he'd just met, and whose stance on immigration isn't one of the world's friendliest.
Naturally, the people of Twitter reacted with disgust and dismay.

Listen to me.
Don’t call this controversial or crass.
Call it racist. It’s racist.
He then said he preferred immigrants from Norway. https://t.co/VDCuQ0xO8b— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) January 11, 2018

White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah was quick with an explanation, which notably didn't contain a denial.

The Trump administration announced earlier this week it's revoking protections that allowed some 200,000 Salvadoreans to reside in the U.S. The group have 18 months to leave or face deportation. Tens of thousands of Haitians and Nicaraguans have also seen protections removed.
Another awful day in Trumpland.
