United States-based South African comedian Trevor Noah has hit back at Donald Trump’s “sh*thole” countries remarks.
During a White House meeting on immigration, President Trump apparently questioned why people from “sh*thole countries” like Haiti and African nations are allowed to come to the U.S.
Comedy Central’s Trevor Noah discussed the situation during a monologue on The Daily Show, he addressed the offensive comments Trump made on Thursday when discussing immigration policy.
“Here we go again, folks,” Noah began.
“President Trump busted for making monstrous comments, this time about an entire continent and Haiti. And just like every other time he says something indefensible, Fox News sprang to his defense.”
Showing footage of the network’s anchors calling Trump’s comments the language of “the forgotten men and women of America”, Noah responded.
“Fox News is the greatest improv troupe of all time, because whatever Trump says they immediately find a way to agree.”
“At some point this weekend, I thought this argument couldn’t get any more stupid. Or is it stupider?”
Noah said: “Oh, he said shithouse! Now everyone in Africa is walking around like, ‘That changes everything, at least now we have a shit roof over our heads.’”
“Look, did the president say shithole or shithouse? Does it even matter?” Noah continued. “Him having a poo-poo mouth isn’t the story for me. The president of the United States condemning entire groups of people as worthless and undesirable based on what country they happened to be born in: that’s the story.”
“This whole situation reminds me of ‘grab ’em by the pussy,’ because the words are shocking at first,” Noah said.
“But then, that’s all some people end up focusing on, instead of the bigger picture. With that story, Trump could have said, ‘I prefer to grab women by the front butt’.
It’s still him bragging about sexual assault.”
