President Donald Trump was savaged online after a bombshell New York Times report claimed he said Haitians “all have AIDS” and Nigerians would never “go back to their huts” after seeing America.

The racial overtones of President Trump’s alleged Oval Office comments drew a sharp rebuke.

One Twitter commenter noted: “This is the man who leads our country saying these things, not some drunk man clutching on to his whisky and a bar stool.”

“Wow. I didn’t know people still used racist insults like go back to Africa, and black people from (insert black country) all have AIDS. Not only is Trump a Nazi troll, he is a Nazi troll with retro racist insults.”

Here are some of the best tweets:

Must-read article about how much Trump has gone off the rails on immigration policy. Trump even said in WH meeting that the 15000 Haitian immigrants “all have AIDS.” Such irrational and unAmerican policies need challenge. https://t.co/TkFATyk20w — Neal Katyal (@neal_katyal) December 23, 2017

Has Trump hate-tweeted about the alleged fakeness of huts and AIDS yet — Asawin Suebsaeng (@swin24) December 23, 2017

Trump's "knowledge" of HIV/AIDS is stuck in 1983, when people wrongly believed AIDS only affected the so-called "4-H" groups: Haitians, homosexuals, heroin users and hemophiliacs. This is why he bans the CDC from using words like "diversity," "science-based" & "evidence-based." https://t.co/VneTCMOvRc — Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) December 23, 2017

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States*.

It is a sign of how far 2017 has taken us that the headline here isn’t “POTUS: All Haitian Immigrants ‘Have AIDS,’” as it would be with literally any other president. For Trump, it’s just an anecdote a few grafs down. https://t.co/fFcNzKZQyy — Joshua Benton (@jbenton) December 23, 2017

This is the man who leads our country saying these things, not some drunk man clutching on to his whisky and a bar stool:

"Haiti had sent 15,000 people. They “all have AIDS,”

40K had come from Nigeria: they would never “go back to their huts” in Africa.

OMFG. I completely believe he said it. He is that kind of person & it sounds like him. He's an awful, awful human being.

Trump said in a June meeting: Haitian immigrants "all have AIDS."

Nigerians coming 2 the U.S. would never "go back to their huts".

Afghan immigrants come from a terrorist haven. This is our president. Let that sink in.https://t.co/Y00z846NN1#antitrump #resist #resistance — Don't Leave Blank (@WTFisGoingOnDon) December 23, 2017

So I guess we are back to talking about whether the President is a racist. — Trump, on Hatian immigrants coming to the US, they “all have AIDS." On Nigerian immigrants, Trump said once they’d seen the U.S., they’d never “go back to their huts” in Africa. https://t.co/CtrYWjW9ZF — Greg Sarafan 🌐⚖🗽 (@GSarafan) December 23, 2017

I look forward to Sarah Sanders explaining how Trump was simply expressing concern over the AIDS problem in Haiti while looking at reporters like they're the ones who are awful racists. — Geraldine (@everywhereist) December 23, 2017
