President Donald Trump described Somalia as “filthy, dirty, disgusting” while complaining that the U.S. admits migrants from “s--thole countries” in a speech Tuesday on affordability, reprising a slur he denied using in 2018.
Trump told the crowd in Pennsylvania that he “announced a permanent pause” last week “on Third World migration, including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia and many other countries.”
He then went on to reference a 2018 meeting in which he was accused of using “s—thole” to describe some countries in Africa—admitting to using the slur after denying it at the time.
