In a stunning and rare show of bipartisan cooperation—or perhaps just an overdue reality check-- Democrat Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) publicly stated his openness to federal support from President Donald Trump to help address the long-standing issues plaguing Baltimore and surrounding areas.
You read that right: after years of partisan bickering, finger-pointing, and failed local leadership, even a blue-state Democrat is now asking Trump for help.
Moore, a staunch anti-Trumper who has largely aligned himself with progressive urban policies, appears to have had enough. In a recent press briefing, he didn’t mince words: “I would absolutely welcome federal support,” he said, when asked if the Trump administration could play a role in helping restore order and stability in parts of Maryland overwhelmed by crime, corruption, and chaos.

TRUMP WON.
"I would ABSOLUTELY welcome federal support."
Get on the phone with 47!

This comes on the heels of a successful federal initiative in Washington, D.C., where President Trump authorized targeted cleanup operations, increased federal law enforcement presence, and economic revitalization programs aimed at restoring law and order to neglected communities.
Now Maryland wants in.
Baltimore has long been a poster child for the failures of Democrat-run cities. Sky-high crime rates, crumbling infrastructure, failing public schools, and decades of mismanagement have hollowed out what was once one of America’s great cities. The people have suffered, and businesses have fled. However, despite years of promises and billions in taxpayer funding, nothing has changed.
Now, even Maryland’s Democratic leadership seems to be conceding what conservatives have been saying for years: local leadership can’t fix this alone, and that maybe Trump had...

Watch the video- it doesn’t match the title...
He invites President Trump to assist with the situation in Baltimore- with things liberals want....
Boom! This is how the Democrats fight their way back. It’s going to dawn on them that most of 47s Admin are all former Democrats. I have no love for the GOP. Grassley and Tillis especially.
Clean up your own state.
for a variety of reasons, I really wish the Maryland Democrat would work to clean up Baltimore at the local (or if absolutely necessary, the state) level.
But, hey, I gotta say Congratulations to him for breaking the D/Communist partyline ... we sure do need to see more Demo politicians working to solve, fix problems....
Wes Moore is a trap. A commie in disguise who will run in 28.
“Watch the video- it doesn’t match the title...

True.
He’s trying to deflect from his Bronze Star stolen valor lie.
They would need armor and dozers to cleanup that rathole.
My sister lived in MD for over 40 years and she is very afraid he will win ‘28
I don’t blame him. He likes safe streets too!................
I visited Baltimore a few years ago when I was attending the nearby National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, MD. While I wasn’t expecting a shining city on a hill, it was far and away the most depressing city I’d ever seen (and I’ve seen some bad ones). Like something out of a dystopia. I expected Mad Max from Thunderdome to show up any minute.
Whatever happened to “We, The People” cleaning up after ourselves? Baltimore et al (blue cities) simply have no respect for themselves.
A few of the rodents seem to get it. The fact that he his Black says a lot. It shows that like the Mayor of Baltimore Moore is listening to the Black community and its demand for control of crime in their neighborhoods. These two have put lots of pressure on the rodents in Chicago.
Trump wins, we win and minority people win again.
What the dems hope is that the Guard will kill someone.
Never trust a democrat to be forthright. There is always a machination behind their words.

Yep. He’s just trying to bring national attention to himself to run for higher office. He’s a scumbag extremist liberal dem trying to appear as a moderate.
He’s barack hussein obama 2.0.
“I mean, you got the SECOND mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.
— I am thinking Joe Biden would agree.
Exactly right. He can't be trusted.

Reminds of the HBO series ‘The Wire’. It was a showcase of corruption in Baltimore.
