"Shithole countries" comes practically on the eve of MLK Day.
And last year, a day or so ahead of MLK Day, 45* took a shit on John Lewis's head.

President Donald Trump’s already infamous “shithole” comment is among several remarks the commander-in-chief has made that have energized white supremacists, rights groups fear.
Trump made the comment Thursday in the context of asking why America should accept more immigrants from Haiti and Africa—instead of places like Norway—while discussing a bipartisan immigration deal with lawmakers. The remark reinvigorated accusations that Trump is a racist, and it was embraced online by white supremacists David Duke and Richard Spencer.
We seem to have an emerging trend here. 45* knows he can't break with tradition completely just yet. He'll issue the annual MLK tribute, even though he has no regard for people of color, but he wants to stay in good stead with Duke and Spencer while seeming not to.
So he shits on Lewis and drops the shithole bomb as a way of sending a nice little wink and a nudge to the crazies: "Don't worry fellas - you know I'm not going to mean anything with this MLK shit, right?"
