Trump welcomes everyone

American President Donald Trump seemed to recant earlier statements he allegedly made about African countries, Haiti and El Salvador. The report comes from a press briefing given on Tuesday, according to Reuters.

Trump has been under tremendous pressure since senator Dick Durbin said last week that Trump had repeatedly used the word “s—hole” to describe these countries, claiming he preferred immigrants from Norway. Reaction  to his reported comments were widespread, including bewilderment and support (at least in sentiment) of his statement from some of the same countries he has criticized. However, overwhelming condemnation  has been leveled at Trump from regional and international leaders, leaving at least one (David Comissiong of Barbados) to state he is not welcome in the Caribbean.

When asked on Tuesday if he wanted more immigrants from Norway, Trump stated that he wanted the United States to draw immigrants from nations around the world. “I want them to come in from everywhere” Trump told reporters.

    When you can’t defeat the message,you attack the messenger.Do you know that he was also Obama’s and Bush’s physician?
    So if he was good for Bush,for Obama what disqualified him for our beloved president?5

    I would like to commend DNO for bringing this piece (Trump welcomed every one).
    Now let us get down to business. Trump.was not a racist when he was a democrati,when he gave thousands of dollars to Chuck Schumer. Clinton and others.
    NBC who is at war with Trump,they had him for many years on this same channel with his show The Apprentice.He was no racist,Now because he defied the pundits all the so-called experts, all the polls and then crushed their crowned princess Hillary Clinton,so they turned inventors Trump asked to execute two black innocents boys ,he is deranged,he don’t employ blacks,he is not fit to be president,God did not put him there.
    But after all is said and done,twice the word of God tells us in Paul’s letter to the Romans 13:4 president Donald Trump is God’s servant.Amen and amen

      You must be seeking for attention to write that Donald Trump is Gods servant, or you are seeking for responses knowing what they are going to be.
      You are not worth responding to but I have one word for you. IMBECILE

      Go ahead “Butt Sniffing” @ J.John Charles. Even if there are lots of vacancies to be filled in at the White House, you will not be considered nah. Whooff, whooff, whooff. On election day, Dominicans will be voting for Skerritt…not Donald Trump. Take your politics and shove it in your black pockets.

        Well he was not banging them in the white house, as the other president, while his wife and daughter, was in the other room, which is worse

    Trump is tapping into his racist base – the ones that got him over the line to be president. He says what he wants them to hear.He is playing them like a puppet master. using them to his advantage. Then he realises that he needs the support of others. so he recants.
    The man has the art of the deal. He is wrong-footing the people, especially the weak minded.

      If it were only his base that voted for him, he would not be president today .

    Lord help this man please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Something is mentally and spiritual wrong with this individual. I just can’t understand how he holds this position as the leader of the United States! But then again he was not the one who elected him, his citizens did so therefore please help the citizens of the United States

      It was your dear obama who had the spiritual disorder not trump. Trump is rash but he’s a realist he’s just saying what even you black folks think of other black folks.. What’s your view on Haitians? Have you said anything derogatory about them? Where would you choose to live ? The US? ElSalvador? Some African country? Hypocrites you’ll are.

    While it is true that senator Dick Durbin was the first to expose what President Trump said, it is the media houses like CNN and others that put Trump under pressure and forced him to change his word . That’s the power of the media! That being said I must say that if I were part of the Dominica Media house I would be ashamed to even report this knowing how the local media allows Skerrit to say what he wants, curse who he wants, calls press meetings without taking one question, hires Bajans as if the capital of Dominica is Roseau, and he is under no pressure by the media. What a big shame!

      But the capital of Dominica is Roseau…

      Are you pretending you do not know?

      Anybody who cannot see the abnormalities in Donald Trump, is either blind or simply have no conception of this universe. Anybody who believe Trump when he said he welcome everyone, has to crazy like him! 

      Trump is a racists, who has malice and vengeance against Black people, and other minorities. Years ago three or four Black boys was accuse of raping a white girl. Donald trump called for their execution, he did that for years!

      DNA evidence proved the kids did not rape the woman, they had nothing to do with the crime, yet Trump continue to blame the Black young men of committing the crime!

      He never apologize for calling for the hanging of the innocent. Now he term our Black Africans ancestors, homeland as “….hole” country; it is impossible for a person with that sort of mentality to be a normal person!

      There are no normal racists; black,  white or any other shade of humans!

        You are fooled again, Trump is the one who dictates what he want you to know: the doctor who performs the physical is not a practicing  psychiatrists, so how can he determine Trumps cognitive ability? 

        Does Trump sound, and look like someone who has any ability to think cognitively? Ask yourself why is it he is so repetitive when he speaks, and his English vocabulary is limited to that of a kindergarten student!

        Derp do you really expect a true test would be in the public?
