Breaking: Haitian govt formally summons US official to explain Trump's comments

Just mentioned by Rachel, after being tweeted by this NBC reporter:

Link to tweet

Haiti’s US Ambassador Paul Altidor tells me Haiti’s government has formerly summoned a US official to explain Trump’s comments to Haiti’s officials. “Haitians fought along US soldiers in the revolutionary war and we continue to be great contributors to American society,” he said

1) The official is a career dedicated US Foreign Service Officer who is hanging on by a thread and doesn't need this irritation, but understands the reason why Haiti summons her/him.

2) The official is a Trumpanzee appointee (quite possibly racist) who views this Haitian summons as an egregious imposition on his time and really wants to tell the Haitian to "fuck off".

Sarah Suckabee will bat her fat caterpillars and call the WH the victim. "So many people are picking on the poor president, taking his words out of context." What does Haiti expect to hear from the WH, that The Don was having a seizure? They and everyone else already know that he is a racist pig.
