On Monday, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari became the first of its members to visit the Trump White House. “Did you address his reported comments from earlier this year, when he reportedly used vulgar language to describe African nations?” Jordan Fabian of the Hill asked Buhari during a joint news conference. Buhari's response showcased one possible effect of Trump's “fake news” refrain. Even the White House initially did not dispute The Washington Post’s report on the comment in January. White House official told me tonight there is debate internally on whether Trump said "shithole" or "shithouse."
