Trump: Immigration remarks in spin cycle

The president speaks. Aides rush in to rationalize. Four points to ponder:

1) The president’s disparaging remarks about Haiti were a win for straight talk, not to be condoned, but at least not politically correct.

2) Remember, this guy isn’t a career politician. (See number 1 above.)

3) Everyone does it.

4) In any case, the president didn’t really say that.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Justify, lie, deny.
