In light of President Donald Trump's disgusting and racist comments, people from around the world are sharing their life accomplishments on Twitter.

A report from the Washington Post reveals that in a meeting with lawmakers on Thursday, Trump asked why the United States was accepting immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries. The president reportedly asked the room: "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"

Trump later suggested the United States should bring in more people from countries like Norway instead.
