Conservative writer: Trump called friends to brag about 's---hole countries' remark
A conservative columnist said President Trump called friends to brag after the meeting in which the president reportedly referred to Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as "shithole countries."
"It’s weird that people in the room don’t remember Trump using that word when Trump himself was calling friends to brag about it afterwards," Erick Erickson, who has in the past been critical of Trump, said in a tweet.
"I spoke to one of those friends. The President thought it would play well with the base."

Trump faced widespread backlash and accusations of racism after a report he disparaged several nations during a meeting with lawmakers at the White House.
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump reportedly asked , referring to immigrants from African nations, Haiti and El Salvador.
The White House initially did not deny the comment, which came as lawmakers work on an immigration deal.
Erick Erickson is part of the problem. As a conservative pundit who has been off and on "never Trump", today he says Trump said it. Tomorrow he will praise some Trump initiative that he agrees with.
Trump is a serial liar, and nothing he says can be believed without verification. He thinks the American people are chumps and fools.
"Erick Erickson is part of the problem." What Problem ? That he can think for Himself ? The Real Problem is People who are so enamored by their respective Parties that they have no thoughts and opinions of their own. They allow their beloved leaders do the thinking for them and just Echo the Party Line.
whatever that means
