Former NFL Linebacker and businessman Jack Brewer and Trump.
President Trump’s criticism of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) over the living conditions in Baltimore were reportedly brought up at the request of former NFL linebacker Jack Brewer. "I had a chance to meet with President Trump, and I told him please call out Elijah Cummings and Baltimore. I asked him to do that three weeks ago and he did it," the former NFL linebacker said on Fox Nation’s “Deep Dive.”
Brewer explained he was motivated to reach out to Trump after a visit to Baltimore. “I'm seeing these kids that don't have any core, no culture within them. They don't have anyone teaching them or training them," he said.
Brewer, who went on to a successful business career after his playing days, blames the politicians in Baltimore for focusing only on "issues that help them raise money," instead of the issues plaguing the "poor black kids whose parents are not donating to their PACs and funds."
Brewer called out Cummings directly for being "front and center" when it's politically convenient and questioned his lack of action in his own city. Referencing the two horrific mass shootings this past weekend that took 31 lives, he questioned why the 51 people shot in Baltimore and Chicago the same weekend went unnoticed. "We look and see all the hype over El Paso, my heart goes out to them, my heart goes out to Dayton, Ohio. But the same weekend, 51 people were shot between Chicago and Baltimore and no one says anything and these are the same lives." (FoxNews.com)
President Trump recently called out Cummings’ disrespect of Border Patrol agents while drawing attention to the conditions in Baltimore. “Rep. Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA,” the president tweeted.
"His district is considered the Worst in the USA. As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming[s'] District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place."
Trump added: "Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen?" Trump added. "Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!"

IS KEEPING BALTIMORE SCHOOL KIDS FREEZING A DEMOCRAT
SCAM TO SCROUNGE MORE TAX DOLLARS FOR THEMSELVES
================================
Cummings is on-record, allocating $4.6 billion for illegal immigrants but homeless people are right there in West Baltimore — two blocks from his district. One man said-"I haven’t seen Elijah Cummings in ten years, noting that the last time he was around was following the death of Freddie Gray, which was quickly politicized.
The funny thing is this ex linebacker IS “woke”.
just not the way dems want.
It seems that in every picture of Cummings he appears to be suffering from a severe case of constipation. It must be very difficult to pass the s—t he is producing.
Watta guy-—Trump needs to give him a job.
Brewer’s Wikipedia entry said he was a safety not a linebacker, although he saw most of his action on special teams. Of course, there are some who consider safeties undersized linebackers who can run.
Brewer has certainly done well in business — and as one of the proud black conservatives, he is doing his part in liberating African-Americans from the thrall of Leftism.
BOL......I believe Cummings is scared ****less .......b/c he’s gonna get nailed for all his corruption.
I doubt many homes in Baltimore have heat, electricity or AC.
Hey that’s a great idea.
I THINK someone is giving Trump advice (bad) to give up on the inner cities and their votes) because early on, he wanted to give it a go.
Having a representative go into those places to make his case wouldn’t hurt.
He’s getting TWENTY EIGHT percent approval among blacks.
That’s STAGGERING. He should build on it.
He is a trailblazer for black kids....AND he knew just "who" to ask to help him out.

Having an official representative like Brewer go into those places to make his case wouldn’t hurt.
Those poor black kids don’t vote, just as the poor black kids trapped in horrible government schools dont vote. But the teachers do!
And voting age blacks .......watching Trump and Brewer unite.....also vote.
The things Rs could be learning from Trump..but most aren’t.
Bump
Thought it surprising that in the photo Mr. Trump appears to be the taller. Trump is no shrimp - but NFL linebackers aren't, either.
Trump is 6’3”......but Brewer looks to be in better shape.
