Trump: "I've also announced a permanent pause on 3rd world migration, including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries. I didn't say shit hole, you did. I said that to the senators, the Democrats, so they came in and they said this is totally off the record .... "
