It doesn't surprise me. I give credit where credit is due. The man is very good at getting a rile out of people and gaining supporters

There is no other president that has the balls to succeed and tell it like it is, other than 45. We went from one extreme to another in just a few years. I don't know much about Baltimore, but it makes the Rust Belt look golden. For the record, it's not just white people (in general) that are "racist," but other groups are too. Yes, Mr. Cummings is a textbook example of that. My two cents in the jar.

I'm guessing it depends on where the rally is. I doubt you'd see a black person in a Deep South Trump rally. I doubt it would be safe for them. Although, if they are staged in front of the camera, behind Trump (which seems to be common), there is plenty of security and I'm sure they are fine.

Good grief. The fact of the matter is that a Black person is safer anywhere in the deep South than in Chicago or Baltimore, whether at a Trump rally or not.

So those points are moot
No if you hate slavery and led a party and movement to end it, the fact that 200 years later someone thinks you were a racist does not make ending slavery moot.

It's been "proved" by people that take everything he says and twist and turn it in such a way that to them and to the foolishly manipulated, it can be claimed to be a lie. Trump's truth telling is why he is hated.

Donald Trump is a pathological liar, and that is the TRUTH. He's uttered or tweeted over 10,000 completely false or deceptively misleading claims as President, in two and a half years. There's no twists or turns with that.

He is however a master of the media spin/planting seeds in people's head, because he has the loudest voice in the room. He does this to divide and conquer, a blind man/hear can see that.

The moral of this story is the President has needed to be "checked" and Elijah Cumming's duty as congressional oversight committee is to put checks and balances on ANY administration. When 45 feels pressured he barks back. The entire fact that children have been separated from families intentionally by this administration and thrown away in cages like animals, many people there not bathing or eating etc, is being overlooked here. He once again has put the spin on this with his brash talk and has people like you all really accepting this behavior as a President of this nation. The fact of the matter is those comments were deliberate and stated so that people (nationally) who only know about Baltimore being "run down" as a whole, would hear them and utter the same thing which is "yea Trump's right, he tells it like it is." That again would be misleading because Cumming's district does not only have rodent infested neighborhoods that nobody wants to live in. That is false. There are various parts of Cumming's district with an upper-middle class income, if Trump was a truth teller he would ALSO have pointed this out. He's a narcissist and race-baiter plain and simple.

Lets be real here.... He freed them because he knew the north could not win the Civil War without the black population, not because he wanted them to have equal rights (which they didn't have after being freed). There is plenty historical documents & statements from people in his inner circle and Lincoln himself that enforce both.

The point I'm making is there are plenty of racist/prejudice people the still help ethnicities they don't like on a day to day basis, so no it's not a get out of jail free card
