BALTIMORE — Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings on Saturday invited President Donald Trump and other Americans to Baltimore, taking the high road after a barrage of presidential tweets disparaging the black-majority city and its long-serving Democratic congressman.
Cummings made his first public remarks after a week of Trump's name-calling and criticism during the opening of a neighborhood park near his home. He called Baltimore "a great community."
He reminded those gathered at the park in Druid Heights of the city's history, home to the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and, more recently, the author Ta-Nehisi Coats.
At 68, and using a walker, the congressman said he doesn't have time for those who criticize the city where he grew up. He wants to hear from people willing to help make the community better. The park was built on a formerly vacant lot often filled with trash.

Think he means his constituents.
Didn’t have time to visit on invitation of Ben Carson this week, either. A jerk.
Yeah, right.
That’s why he skipped meeting w/ Ben Carson last week when Carson went to Sandtown?
Why the hell should he??? Cummings won’t. At least not the depressed areas.
He’s going to give back the missing money?
Every time I’ve seen this idiot’s fugly mug on the TV, lately, he keeps saying “It’s not about ME, it’s about FUTURE GENERATIONS”.
Yeah, right, LIAR!! You don’t give a flying flip about future generations...you and your ilk want them all aborted.
Where’s the money?
Trump completely broke this clown. If you read the article, Cummings even admits that he's not interested in impeachment.
So he thought he could continue playing his little game...harass the Republican thinking that it'll be business as usual and play the race card when Trump called him out on it. But now even black residents are saying Cummings didn't do zilch for his district.
You mess with a New York City realtor who has dealt with far more dangerous clowns than those in Congress, you get the horns.
“He’s going to give back the missing money?”
No, but it sure as hell needs to be accounted for. It seems obvious that someone should tally where it all went but that will likely will not happen. Pisses ya off don’t it?
POTUS go to Baltimore??? No way. The SS detail would have to be the size of the U.S. Army.
Sounds like Mr. Cummings wants to show off his accomplishments to the President.
Is there a grassy knoll in Baltimore?
I like your analysis, FRiend EEE.
When I first saw the headline on another site, my initial reaction was: “Nawwwww ... a corrupt so-and-so like Cummings can’t be extending an olive branch to our president in good faith.”
Yeah, damage control all right ...
Trump is not scared of Baltimore, He has called out a rat that infested Baltimore.
Geez man, were not talking about back in the olden times when Johnny Unitas lived there.
Trump should tweet No I ain’t coming but I’ll forward a truckload of D-Con for you along with a busload of Federal auditors.
Exactly right and well said.
It’s criminal what the democrats have done to Baltimore and other liberal hellholes.
As punishment for overseeing the damage to his city, Cummings should be forced to live in the middle of the slum neighborhoods and actually, he should volunteer to live within the rats and garbage and sewage, just to show that, ‘it’s really not that bad’.
