The remarks came during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. Trump was bragging about his recent ban on asylum from "hellholes" like Afghanistan, Haiti and Somalia when an audience member shouted "shithole countries," a reference to a widely criticized statement he made in 2018.
It made Trump think back to the incident.
We had a meeting and I said, "Why do we only bring in people from 'shithole countries'? Or what? Why can't we get some people from Norway, Sweden? Just a couple," he recounted in Mount Pocono on Tuesday night.
"Let's get some from Denmark. Do you mind sending some?"
The "shithole countries" comment in 2018 sparked outrage around the world, and Trump himself claimed that he had been misquoted. Now he admits that that is actually what he said – and goes even further in his racist tone:
We always take people from Somalia. Places that are disasters. Filthy, dirty, disgusting, riddled with crime.
