Trump admitted using "shithole countries" in 2018, sparking backlash over racist remarks.
Donald Trump, in a December 9, 2025, rally in Pennsylvania, admitted using the term "shithole countries" to describe Haiti and African nations during a 2018 Oval Office meeting with lawmakers, reversing earlier denials.
He repeated the phrase, citing countries like Somalia, Haiti, and Afghanistan as "filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime," and promoted immigration from nations like Norway and Denmark.
Trump claimed the expletive was shouted by an audience member, not him, and reiterated a planned pause on migration from certain countries.
His remarks drew condemnation from Rep. Ilhan Omar and others, who called the comments bigoted and xenophobic, reigniting debate over racial insensitivity in political discourse.
