You are trying mightily to change the subject from the condition of Baltimore, aren't you?
No not really I’m trying to point out that what many are taking at being racist is not limited to a Baltimore but our President’s tendency to use such wording to describe Democratic led areas with people of color while never using such words for white communities that are also struggling with similar issues.
Do you think that there are no Republican led Districts with white majorities that have the problems listed?
If the answer is yes, will the President call them out and use same language for them?
I am not sure because Orkin's top-50 rat cities are all run by Democrats! Maybe they can publish a top-100 list next year and we can see if there are any "red" cities on the list.
Why you had to point out they were black is surprising,
Why not just say the local politicians are not willing to face the problems.
And all of what you said -- doesn't defend Trump's attack on Cummings.
It defends your views of Baltimore.
Trump implied Cummings isn't doing enough.
First of all -- he's not the local politician in charge of local matters...he's in Washington DC.
And he's as responsible for doing nothing as our President is.
oh our President is white....and he's no help. (not sure why I had to make sure to point out that out but it seemed important to you the color of the skin).
The race matters because the justification/explanation for these juvenile thugs is always the same: racism explains it, meaning white on black racism.
Whites have virtually no power in the City of Baltimore. The mayor is black. The majority of the city council is black. The State's attorney is black. The police force is majority minority. Yet the white people are busy fueling the "rise of white supremacy" according to these idiots, and that's the problem in their pea-sized brains.
You really cannot understand how messed up and dysfunctional this city is until you've lived in it for 20 years. I will always love the people here and the memories, but I've finally had enough. Maybe Trump's tweets will have an effect, but that's unlikely. Full blown city riots didn't motivate the morons who live here and run the town.
As bad of a communicator as Trump is in his narcissistic, insulting ways — he pulls the mask off the ignored problems in this country that most politicians are too coward or bought off to deal with.
At least he gets this stuff out in the open so we can debate it instead of pretending it doesn’t exist.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it may be 'coincidental' and Trump really isn't a racist but there are too many times he doesn't choose his words carefully or his battles and it is hard not to recognize his approach with some people is VERY VERY different than others.

LOL. Travel around this country my friend and you might be shocked at the lives that many fellow Americans are living in. These are the people that vote for Obama, Trump anyone that sells them some hope and 5hen they realize that 5hey were just pawns in a bigger game.
So yes keep playing the old us vs them. The politicians on both sides love that because it keeps them in power.
It's lovely how all of a sudden the concern for Baltimore and its terrible conditions is important and thanks to Trump it has been brought to light.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
the spin on this is so much I'm dizzy.........
Seriously this kind of spoof would be in a movie and we would say it is ridiculous how they twisted the whole situation.
But here it is in real life ......ugh.
Jesus lady, go get some smelling salts or something. You’re practically apoplectic here.
