President Donald Trump,
frustrated with America's continued responsibility for immigrants
fleeing Third World natural disasters, asked members of Congress
Thursday in vulgar terms why the United States had to shoulder such a
burden.
'Why are we having all these
people from s***hole countries come here?' Trump said, according to two
people who were briefed on the meeting and then leaked the comment to The Washington Post.
