NEW: Sens. Tom Cotton and David Perdue issue joint statement on President Trump's reported "sh*thole" comment, saying "we do not recall the President saying these comments specifically." https://t.co/2sBsSAqrLY pic.twitter.com/NMMSAxUHBi— CBS News (@CBSNews) January 12, 2018
And in contrast:
meanwhile Sen. Tim Scott has talked to fellow South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, who was also in the meeting and Graham confirmed reports of Trump's comments are "basically accurate." https://t.co/0lSW8LSg5k— Haley Byrd (@byrdinator) January 12, 2018

Some people say he said a bad word, other people say he didn't say it.
So naturally the public consensus should be that it's reasonable doubt, unprovable, he said/he said, nonissue, nothingburger; can't we move on from this pettiness and get on with doing the important work of MAGAing.
He may as well just have taken a dump on the desk, then directed several people to say they "don't recall" any desk-dumping. Any reports to the contrary are fake news from the dishonest media.

President Trump freely admits to defecating on the Oval Office desk before members of congress and the media but refutes the assertion that he prefaced the act by declaring that he was going to 'take a (s-word) all over this (b-word)'. The public remains divided on the appropriateness of the use of profanity by a standing president in referring to a bodily function such as this.

when the Arpaio for Senate announcement came out, I had the uncomfortable experience of needing to recall that Trump had pardoned him, an incident that would have haunted previous administrations. I still vividly recall the Marc Rich pardon scandal and that was on Clinton's last day in office.

xps to TLG, I don't think so. This isn't complicated. He's a narcissist so he loves adulation. And because he is a terrible person, the cheapest/easiest adulation he can get is the adulation of terrible people. Anything else would require effort, and he's lazy.
It's the same as wanting a Big Mac while living in an RV that is parked in a McDonald's drive-thru lane. Sure, you COULD go buy some broccoli, but why?
What incentive is there for Trump to seek the approval of anyone other than the people who already love him and gleefully cheer at every despicable thing he does? I mean, it's not as if he can suddenly become a person that Bill Kristol approves of - let alone Rachel Maddow - so why should he try?

I am occasionally surprised by what really gets me, EG the tweet in Ned’s post. I am by no means identical to Tombot on my views on the US Intelligence Community, but something about the idea of telling someone whose parents came to the US, and who worked for her country and demonstrated her love for it to the point that she gets to give an intelligence briefing to the president - telling her that that she’s not really American, infuriates me immensely.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 12 January 2018 20:23 (six years ago) link
Er xp okay a few of Ned’s posts ago.
It seems at least possible that Trump is incapable of processing the fact that someone of Asian ethnicity might also be an American.
