Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein delivered a thinly veiled jab at President Trump on Friday after the president reportedly questioned immigration from “shithole countries” in a private meeting a day earlier.

“View from our building today reminds me that despite all the sh*t, American values will shine through,” Blankfein wrote on Twitter, posting a photo of a foggy New York Harbor with the Statue of Liberty still clearly visible.

The tweet appeared to reference Trump’s reported remarks decrying immigration from “shithole countries,” like Haiti, and references the Statue of Liberty’s reputation as a welcoming symbol for immigrants. 

Engraved on a plaque on the statue is the poem, “The New Colossus,” by Emma Lazarus, which includes the famous line: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.”

Former FBI Director James Comey quoted the poem on Twitter Friday in response to Trump’s reported comments. 

The president denied in a pair of tweets that he used such language to describe any country, saying only that he referred to Haiti as a “very poor and troubled country.”
