In an Oval Office meeting on January 11, 2018, President Trump expressed frustration at lawmakers proposing protections for immigrants, calling them 'shithole countries' and advocating for more immigrants from 'predominantly white Christian countries like Norway.'
During a presidential debate, Trump made a false claim about Haitian immigrants, stating, 'They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats.' Moderators and fact-checkers debunked this as absolute nonsense.
Trump's derogatory comments on immigrants have drawn on historical racist narratives, aiming to recreate a vision of America that prioritizes Christian, white, male identity while sidelining others.
The controversy surrounding Trump's remarks reflects a broader discourse about immigration and race in America, questioning who has the right to define 'American' identity.
