[quote=Newsweek][URL="http://www.newsweek.com/topic/donald-trump-0"]In a fit of anger during a June cabinet meeting in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump said Haitians entering the U.S. "all have AIDS" and that Nigerians would never "go back to their huts" once they saw America, according to [I]The New York Times,[/I] which reported the comments in a bombshell article it published Saturday.
[/URL]The White House denied the former reality TV star made the controversial remarks. “General Kelly, General McMaster, Secretary Tillerson, Secretary Nielsen and all other senior staff actually in the meeting deny these outrageous claims,” Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told [I]The New York Times. "[/I]It's both sad and telling [I]The New York Times[/I] would print the lies of their anonymous ‘sources’ anyway."[/quote]

Haiti had sent 15,000 people. They “all have AIDS,” he grumbled, according to one person who attended the meeting and another person who was briefed about it by a different person who was there.
Forty thousand had come from Nigeria, Mr. Trump added. Once they had seen the United States, they would never “go back to their huts” in Africa, recalled the two officials, who asked for anonymity to discuss a sensitive conversation in the Oval Office.
...
While the White House did not deny the overall description of the meeting, officials strenuously insisted that Mr. Trump never used the words “AIDS” or “huts” to describe people from any country. Several participants in the meeting told Times reporters that they did not recall the president using those words and did not think he had, but the two officials who described the comments found them so noteworthy that they related them to others at the time.[/quote]

President Trump is a racist?
By jove, I'm shocked. Shocked, I say!
i think he meant to say aid, and misspoke out of jealousy because he could really do with some himself
Can we remove this guy yet? Please?

I love how they say this instead of "president"
I hope news agencies start doing this regularly to discredit any notion that he is worthy of the office at all
Yeah im sure he said the word Nigerian :v:

I am never going to refer to Trump as anything but, now.
This should be a movement. In fact, there should be a script for changing the word president for "former reality tv star".

Whilst funny, I think it is more a case of just varying nouns used in the article. In the UK, our top tennis player is often referred to as both a Scot and Brit in articles to 'mix it up.' :)

Added a badge counter to see how many it has replaced, as well as fixing it making page load times super lengthy on certain sites.
when you call someone Pocahontas, can't really point out if it's racist,
saying a race of people are diseased and another race inferior living conditions associated with inferior intelligence. You can point that out blindly, and it's hard to give him the benefit of the doubt due to trump being trump.

You are a beautiful soul. Thank you so much!
I wish I wasn't so outraged and angry at the stuff he says, it's not good for my heart.
NYT puts out many articles discrediting Trump, feels biased already.

Trump is an arrogant narcissistic rich kid who never experienced hardship and never had to grow up, and he says and does embarrassingly stupid things on the daily. They get reported on a lot because he does them a lot and, like it or not, what the President of the United States says and does is newsworthy.
The fact that longstanding and reliable news outlets constantly report that Trump does stupid things doesn't mean they're "biased". It just means he constantly does stupid things.
The idiot discredits himself.

It's not like with Obama either where all Fox news could ever do was make shit up and talk about his birth certificate.
Almost every article about Trump is quoting something directly that he or his advisers have said. And they say a LOT of dumb shit.
It seems like Mr Trump is still stuck in the 50s.

When you give the media bucket loads of ammo every day, what else are they supposed to do but put out articles showing what an incompetent childish twatmackerel you are?
But sure, call them biased if that makes you feel better.

Is it bias if they're parroting what he or his friends says word-by-word by putting it in a article for all to see?

But you see it's obviously made up and fake news, the liberals are just overreacting to locker room talk
he's totally not racist guys, he was being ironic and making a lighthearted joke about the white privilege issue :downs:

It's Trump's fault for doing this kind of shit, not the media's fault for reporting it.

Just reminds me the shit I can read in Estonian media every day about Putin, someone heard him say that and someone that, but not without actually lots of credible source of information. I'm not pro-putin or pro-trump lol, but many of those articles sounds like propaganda, obviously watching some of Trump speeches I can see that he'll say those things.

Read his twitter, you'll see it's exactly the shit he says on a daily basis.
I love how the white house basically said "He didn't say 'AIDS' or 'huts', but yeah overall he still said racist shit but that's not the point."

If reality is biased against someone then maybe that means something
I can't imagine what, though
