The POTUS should never refer to any foreign country as a shithole.

It is bush league and classless.
Period.

He didn’t say It publicly. He said it in a private meeting with supposedly trustworthy staffers

By omission? Yes. That's the very nature of diplomacy. Even in the heat of war against hated enemies, diplomatic speak is called for.

He also referred to our entire government and all of DC as a Swamp! AS if it is that filthy and dirty. HOW DARE HE!

If he can say that about the upper echelon why do other country get a pass?

So everyone thinks it, but we just can't say it?

.
This was stated in a bi-partisan meeting of Congress members. No damage occurred due to Trumps statement. The only POTENTIAL damage occurred because someone from that meeting felt the need to leak what was said. I wonder what motivation was behind that?

Do you think it was to advance American interests? I don't.

Screw you and the scum who cannot put America first and feel the need to tattle about what was said behind closed doors.

You are all truly disgusting people.

The NYTimes is reporting this. Somehow I don't believe them.

Yes, regardless of what the POTUS thinks, he should not refer to any foreign countries as shitholes. To do so is ill-advised and just plain wrong.

I can think of 15 ways to say what he just said without sounding like a boorish jackass.

Of course, he's incapable of being anything except a boorish jacks and he's incapable of shutting his fat mouth. Of course he has no incentive to do so. He knows certain people, Psychtigers of the world, for instance, will back him unconditionally. He's counting on a fired-up base getting him over the hump again.

It was a pretty shitty thing to say.

But then again, we are talking about a man who has no ability whatsoever to understand the that America is suppose to be a world leader.

He came out on public television or the internet and stated this?
