Trump: 'I'm the least racist person you will ever interview'
President Trump on Sunday pushed back on claims that he is a racist after facing immense scrutiny for reportedly describing several nations as "shithole countries" during a meeting with lawmakers last week.

“No. I’m not a racist. I’m the least racist person you will ever interview,” Trump told reporters while entering Trump International Golf Course, according to a White House pool report.

The president also reportedly doubled down on his denial that he said the disparaging remark during the Oval Office meeting.

"Did you see what various senators in the room said about my comments? They were not made," Trump said.
