President Trump has feuded since Saturday with Rep. Elijah Cummings about the Maryland Democrat’s congressional district, which includes West Baltimore – its poorest section. Racism accusations are flying like feathers in a chicken coop.

The following quiz should illuminate these bipartisan charges of bigotry and identify who actually talked trash about Charm City.

True or False? President Trump made the following 10 statements about Baltimore:

The ironic thing is that Russians are some of the biggest racists around. Your average Russian LOATHES AND DESPISES Africans and African-Americans.

Correct. So what should we do? Fight it? Or let them wear themselves out on this like they have on everything else and in the end it won’t make any difference because people have learned not to beleive what they say?

WOW are they failing.

Pretty soon BLACK PEOPLE will be laughing at the racism charges as just another dem ploy.

My pop told me of the proud moment in the late 60s/early 70s when Americans of Italian descent told the dems

“#$$# you and your identity politics. We’re Americans and you offer nothing”

We have voted majority R ever since.

It’s WAY past time for blacks to catch up.

In Baltimore, “you have impoverished communities that have been stripped away of opportunities, where children are born into abject poverty, they’ve got parents — often because of substance abuse problems, or incarceration, or lack of education themselves — [who] can’t do right by their kids.” Further, there are “no fathers who can provide guidance to young men,” and “drugs are flooding the community.”

- President Obama said this in the Rose Garden on April 28, 2015.

Residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace.”

-Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., wrote this on Twitter, on May 5, 2016.

Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation…You would think that you were in a Third World country….We’re talking about a community in which there are hundreds of buildings that are uninhabitable.

-Bernie Sanders said this, too — on December 15, 2015

Both. Fight it by sending the FBI to investigate corruption in Baltimore. Let them wear themselves out, let them call the FBI racist and corrupt ;-)

lol

Kind of miraculous from 3 years ago, the turnaround in the country.

That’s why one should NEVER give up.

I was 40 and living with a severe head injury and obama as president!!

At times, I thought there’d never be a bright day again, but I prayed and I took each day.

Now I have had a remarkable recovery and the US is BACK and there are MANY reasons to be happy.

That’s a lesson for all you kids out there.

NEVER GIVE UP and ALWAYS PRAY.

Though even at 51, I’m not sure how many FReepers are younger than me to need advice.

Its still a good lesson!!

Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

You betcha! It is ALWAYS good advice no matter how old you are. I’m 64 and it took me a long time to embrace that outlook and I’m still working on it.

Never give up. Never ever EVER give up!

Yeah I’m still working on it a lot.

Reading my posts from day to day, one could reasonably think I was bi polar :)

But lately I AM thanking God for what I have and for what he has done for this great country.

Self pity is just as dangerous as ANY illness. It swallows you alive and leaves nothing.

POTUS Trump is one of the least self pitying men I know.

He never said “why me? Why are they ganging up on me? Why did I take this job? wah wah”

I would have lol

He’s a real man.

I was thinking about this when I made that last post. Trump seems to me like the kind of guy who has never even thought about giving up. He just sees everything as a challenge, which he likes, and an opportunity.

Most of us aren’t like that from the start. That’s just not the reality of humanity. But I believe even the most negative person in the most trying circumstances can realize what they’re doing to themselves and start doing something about it.

In today’s world everyone’s a racist. Liberals have lowered the bar so much that if you comment on ‘rats in a city’ you’re a racist.

In today’s world everyone’s a racist.

That last sentence is REALLY important.

Sometimes you let yourself get into such a dark place, like a black hole, that you can’t see out of it or escape it.

But that’s when you have to try the hardest.

Yes Trump is a unique and Incredible individual.

NYer or no NYer, I had MAJOR doubts and DID NOT support him at first.

I dont vote for someone because of where they come from or their ethnicity.

I vote what I like :)

He’s a real man.

He's a real positive man.

Whatever the situation he seems to look at as "how can I work with this and make it better for everybody?" He certainly doesn't waste time and energy wishing things were different.

Maybe that sounds corny, maybe that makes me sound like a sycophant for Trump but that's how I see him after watching him work for the last three years. Before that I paid little attention to him and, FWIW, I idolize no man. Not Trump not anybody.

That’s a good analysis of it.

I look at a situation and say “how much Jack Daniels is it going to take to get through this?” :) JK

He’s a good man.

People can get down sometimes. It happens. As long as they get back up is what matters.

buona Notte!

Not that I’m going to sleep :)
