ABSTRACT In 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump described El Salvador, Haiti, and the continent of Africa as “shitholes” in a meeting about immigration. This comment, which was readily legible as racist, is situated within a larger toileting discourse that deploys what I call “shithole rhetorics” to further anti-Muslim and anti-queer anxieties. These anxieties cluster around the anatomy and infrastructure of shitholes, i.e., anuses and squat toilets. I examine shithole rhetorics in several Trumpian texts to expose the bizarre role of toileting in U.S. nationalist discourse. Additionally, I examine toileting texts from popular culture that seek to interrupt such shithole rhetorics.
