Trump is as responsible for local conditions as Rep. Cummings.

If someone needs a civics test, it’s Donald Trump, or more specifically his base, which Trump goes lower and lower to play to their prejudices and ignorance.

He said the same thing about Atlanta when another black man - Representative John Lewis, said something he didn't like.

He often lashes out and says idiotic things because he's an a$$hole.

That’s probably the best description of Trump.

He’s an unprincipled a$$hole who will say anything or do anything for a buck or for a political advantage and costs to the country be damned.

Shouldn't those who criticise America go back to where they came from? You guys know that Baltimore is in America right?

Trump said he could fix it fast. So he should get off his lazy orange a$%, stop tweeting, and do it.

As the locale of Fort McHenry and the inspiration for the “Star Spangled Banner”, Baltimore is about as American as you can get.

Wait, what? Stop the press. Elijah cummings hasn't held any cookouts? Hasn't given away clothes or shoes? Oh the humanity.

Most cities are poorly maintained now. I can find vagrants, thieves and abandon buildings among the great growth here.
Trump is so stupid that he forgot his proclamation of rebuilding the nations infrastructure. He has an opportunity to show that he has some cattle and not all hat.

Where is the media, and Elijah Cummings, screaming that Bernie Sanders is a racist?

Trump: Bernie Sanders Is Racist for Baltimore Remark
Monday July 29, 2019

President Donald Trump on Monday said that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., "must now be labeled a racist" for comparing parts of Baltimore to a third-world country in 2015.

"Crazy Bernie Sanders recently equated the City of Baltimore to a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!" Trump tweeted, referring to a statement Sanders made in 2015, after he visited Baltimore following the riots that occurred after Freddie Gray was killed while in police custody.

"Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you were in a wealthy nation, you would think that you were in a Third World country," the senator said at the time, in remarks that were recently re-aired by Fox News' "Fox & Friends."

There are people on this thread who obsess about who Black people vote for. Several threads have opened up about this topic. That is why I think about the things I think about.
