President Trump issued a sharp message Tuesday to House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md.: the real oversight is needed in the congressman’s home district.
Speaking to reporters on the White House lawn, Trump was asked about the ongoing feud between him and Cummings since Trump made derogatory remarks about Baltimore, which Cummings represents.
“Take your Oversight Committee and go to Baltimore, you’ll learn a lot,” Trump said. This was after the president doubled down on his past criticism by calling Baltimore “the most unsafe city” in the U.S., despite receiving $15 billion in federal funding.
The district received $15.7 billion in federal aid in fiscal year 2018, Newsweek reported after examining a USAspending.gov database.
“All of this money goes there and take a look at it,” Trump said.
When a reporter pointed out that Cummings is not the city’s mayor and does not have full control, Trump claimed that Cummings has been the constant for more than two decades.
“He’s seen these mayors get thrown out … they’re all friends of his,” Trump said.

If Trump was a major league baseball team, I would buy a season ticket and never miss a game.

The reporter obviously doesn’t think that black people are capable of managing a district or city.
TRUMP just gets better by the day.
A mirror will find the corruption.
Trump has picked the perfect target. Cummings is angry, scary, and corrupt as hell. Trump should go after Cumming’s crooked wife and her crooked non profit corporation. If a corporation does not make a “contribution” (protection money) that corporation will be in big trouble with Elijah the crook.
As much as I fight it, my Man Crush on POTUS Trump only gets stronger. LOL
“Go investigate yourself...”
An awesome trolling...
Indeed. The President has flipped the script alinsky wrote, and he's now freezing the barking buffoon cummings.
Can you imagine a president Romney saying such a thing ? There is a reason there isn’t a president Romney.
Yes, just the facts. And a legitimate media with any integrity would be JUMPING on trying to figure out what has happened to all of the federal money sent to Baltimore.
Instead, they are trying to defend Cummings and chime in that POTUS must be a racist.
TRUMP is a non-PC comedian.
Cummings to his fellow Rats in Baltimore “The jig is up, start shredding those documents NOW”
Quoting ObamaPhone lady... “Romney, Romney sucks”.
I’m still laughing about this.
Comedy Gold...
Cummings has made many derogatory statements to Republicans who have to come before his committee. He acts like he is God almighty.
