President Donald Trump and Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) were the focal points of a social media duel, where the president trashed the Maryland Democrat for presiding over a city that’s totally in a state of disrepair. Cummings’ district encompasses a portion of the city, which Trump described as rat-infested, crime-ridden, and not hospitable. Of course, whatever Trump says has to be attacked—even when it’s true. The racism allegation was lobbed again. It fell flat with those with cognitive function…again. Normal people don’t care—and those who are curious will find out that the city is a mess. The residents agreed with Trump’s description. There are rats everywhere. Homicides are sky-high. And even former Mayor Catherine Pugh, who resigned in disgrace, noted the rats and how parts of the city are just utterly deplorable.
The Trump administration has allocated some $16 billion to the city in federal grants. What’s going on? And that was exactly the reaction Lynne Patton, a regional Housing and Urban Development administrator, had when all these Democrats and their liberal media allies rallied to the defense of this trash can of a city. So, after all that, after all the hollering, and after the defense of his city, which will go away in the next news cycle because the anti-Trump media really doesn’t care about Baltimore or the well-being of its residents—Cummings decided to ditch a tour of a HUD facility (via Daily Caller):
Maryland Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings declined an offer to tour a Baltimore Housing and Urban Development (HUD) facility with HUD secretary Ben Carson on Wednesday.
Carson invited Cummings to tour the facility with him on Tuesday, however Cummings rejected the invitation, the Daily Caller has learned.
The Daily Caller reported exclusively on Tuesday that Carson would visit Baltimore in the wake of President Donald Trump’s tweets calling the city a “rodent infested mess” in which no human being would want to live. Critics accused the president of employing racist attacks against the Maryland city and against Rep. Cummings.
I can see why the city, or at least that portion, is the way it is; its representatives don’t seem to care. Too busy working on Trump’s impeachment, right? Oh, and Cummings also trashed Baltimore too. Is he a racist now?
Obviously racist... Right? Those are the rules! https://t.co/W3eX54ellK— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) July 31, 2019

How many rats are running against E. C.?
Maggot-infested dead rats plummeting through the ceilings like furry bombs!
The little Milk Dud is deep in thought----wondering if Baltimore Ciy Hall can create
$16 billion in back-dated vouchers for bogus community projects in time to avoid jail.
Is Elijah Cummings asleep in that picture, or is he having a stroke?
Hard to tell....
Good to finally see the dirty laundry of Cummings brought out to air. Been needing to happen for years now.
The Left keeps lobbing those Racist darts at Trump and he just ignores them and fires back at them.
The rest of the Republican Party could learn from this.
The little milk dud. I am so stealing that. :)
Somebody ought to find out what ostrich egg head and his wife’s net worth is and spread it around the hood.
Be my guest.............
;-)
Deja Vu — Ray Nagin of New Orleans. Cummings is a stereotype copy.
I wonder where he lives and what kind of house he has.
Betting there’s no rats or crime anywhere near it.
A billion is a thousand million.
Baltimore has a population of 600 thousand, or 0.6 million.
So that’s a bit north of $26K for each resident.
Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings in 1999: “This morning I left my community of Baltimore, a DRUG INFESTED area” where people are “walking around like zombies.” What does this man have against Black people. Is it not racist to call them “zombies?”
President Trump had that $16B tracked to see where it all went. A lot of people are going to jail.
That’s awesome
This Shiite has been going on a very very very very very long time
Good to finally have a man and his family up to the taskI’ve taken on these scumbag criminals
I knew a guy, shift Sergeant for the local (town) police department and he bought his house with a HUDD grant. It only worked for HUDD foreclosures that went to auction, but they DOUBLED his bid for the house. He basically bought a $150k house that had had a basement flooding (upstate NY) for a bid of $90k...but really only $45k. You were only allowed to do this once but hey...not too shabby. (Not talking inner city here, suburbs.)
They extended this to cops and teachers under Clinton, hence the eternal love affair.
