So then what is this? What/who is this in reference to? 

 

White liberal politicians, media, Internet activists who say nothing about decades of corrupt mismanagement because of partisan or woke politics even when blacks are worse off because it ?

Anyone that ignored how bad parts of Baltimore have been for decades then suddenly became interested but only to denounce Trump as a racist for pointing it out and not the people and system that produced it.

You stated the "White liberal politicians", I thought you were talking about specific "White liberal politicians" involved in the Baltimore situation, not fictitious ones.

Back to the main point- the POtuS' tweets were racist, absolutely racist. Racist is what Racist does.

No it wasnt . It was tough medcine that was a long time coming.

If Cummings wants to moralize about living conditions of illegal migrants he'd better be prepared to defend his own record at home.

Without criticism and scrutiny of swamp creatures, trough feeders like Cummings nothing will change for people on the bottom.

There's a reason people defend the racist actions of Trump and you can guess why that is.

Fine- now we know where you are coming from. You should reread what you post- it comes across as racist and defending a racist. Not saying you are, but one can misconstrue it as that.

 

Maybe trumps criticism stems from less than his desire to help the fine people of Baltimore, than it has to do with this:

Quote

Sitting together in the Oval Office that day, Cummings was blunt. The 13-term congressman told the president that his words were “insulting” and that “most black people are doing pretty good.” Trump didn’t get defensive or angry. He listened quietly, taking it in, Cummings recalled. “Probably nobody has ever told you that,” Cummings told the president. “You’re right—nobody has ever told me that,” Trump replied.

 

Quote

One does not have to be much of a sleuth to figure out what’s behind these latest effusions. Minutes before the president sent the tweets, Fox & Friends had aired a report showing trash-strewn streets and decaying buildings in the West Baltimore neighborhood that is part of Cummings’s district. But the real spark may have come Thursday, when the House Oversight Committee, chaired by Cummings, voted to subpoena emails and text messages flowing from White House officials on personal accounts outside government systems, a move that could prove embarrassing to the president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner. Both have said through their attorney that they used personal accounts while working in the White House, The New York Times reported.

 

Fun fact... Jared Kushner owns a large portion of those run down shitty places trump was referring 2.

Mice infested and 100's of code violations.

Trump is quite good at distracting from what matters, while giving his ignorant followers a cheap and sleazy thrill. (That's all they'll get from him as he tries to take away their healthcare)

He's dismantling enivronmental laws in a way, and at a rate never seen. Breaks laws, appoints scum, ignores subpoenas, pals it up with N Korea, all with impunity it seems.

Meanwhile all sides are focused on what a pr#ck he is. Which he cares nothing about.

There's method to his madness.

I think it was more the Jared and Ivanka subpoenas- I linked it a few posts ago.

 

I think you are right though, but it will be a new Twitter rant.

Agreed- i just wish trump would have just restrained himself from the "I was there too" bit, he should have just left it alone and let the day be about the first responders...

You mean where he lied? He makes everything about himself, despite the fact that he wasn't even there. Of course, the GOP is attacking Obama and Biden for hiding out on AF1 during the attack. Of course, it happened 7 years before Obama was in office but the GOP and it's followers are stupid, so....

And, Trump was nowhere near ground zero. When the towers went down he went on the radio to boast that he now had the tallest tower in NY. He wouldn't go anywhere near Ground Zero. Coward.

See... it would have been much better if he just kept his mouth shut and just signed the damn thing into law. The First Responders deserve better.

p.s. The tweet is a fake/joke tweet.

Sad though, that it is so believable. 

Re: Trump's comments about Baltimore and Cummings:

Turns out that 14 of 15 states with the highest poverty rates in the country voted for Trump. 14 of those 15 have GOP-controlled state legislatures, and 13 of the 15 have GOP-majority congressional delegations by a 2 to 1 margin.   Why not crack back on them, O king of Twitter?
