WASHINGTON President Trump lashed out at a leading African-American congressman on Saturday, calling him a brutal bully who represents a Baltimore-based district that has become a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess where no human being would want to live.
Mr. Trumps attack on Representative Elijah E. Cummings, a Democrat from Maryland and leading critic of the president, parroted a segment that aired earlier in the morning on Fox & Friends. The president suggested that the congressman was a hypocrite for criticizing conditions in migrant detention centers at the southwestern border when his own district is blighted. Mr. Trump also made a vague and unsubstantiated insinuation of corruption.
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, Mr. Trump wrote. His district is considered the Worst in the USA. He went on: Cumming 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.
Mr. Cummings responded on Twitter shortly afterward, saying that he was a vigorous advocate for his district. Mr. President, I go home to my district daily, he wrote. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors. It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents.
The congressman pointed to a hearing that he held on Friday on his effort to legislate lower drug prices, which would help his Baltimore constituents.

My thoughts exactly.
I wish he'd do this:
But I'm patient, he'll do it his own way.
“I don’t think most Americans want the President to sound like this. “
I think most Americans have had it.
I also think they want to fight and get this Country back on track
Mr President, don’t stop, you scare the hell out of those who would fundamentally change this Country
Part of me agrees. But another part says so what. Hes talking about a city that doesnt support him or his values. So what. No big loss.
Looks like the poster just got ZOTTED. (Now that was a pretty serious ZOT by Al Capone also!)

“So, you think so, do you?”
“I don’t think, I know!”
“I don’t think you know, either.”
The truth is that leftists dont actually care about their constituents, just want them as pawns to gain power.
Leftists - excrement in and excrement out.
Considering the nature of the residents of that City it’s surprising that the rodents are willing to live there...
As someone who goes to Baltimore on a regular basis, it’s a poop-hole.
It was awful in the early 90’s, got better in the mid-90’s through 2006 and since then, it’s been worse that back in the early 90s.
The blue line that protected the tourists has broken down and it’s a free for all.
Speak for yourself with your sanctimonious concern-trollish rubbish.
I try to schedule my medical appts. at Johns Hopkins (their Eye Institute is the best in the world) now to very early in the morning — when the marauding bands of roving thugs & thieves are still sleeping!
No more Orioles or Ravens games — no more concerts either. Baltimore is a shell of what it used to be.
I think you are wrong. Most New York Times readers, and most liberal Democrats, and most socialists, communists, and RINOS don't want any conservative to speak the truth. But real patriotic Americans are happy to have a President who speaks truth to liberal politicians.
Rep. Cummings is spending his time and effort criticizing conditions in holding facilities for people who illegally entered the United States. If he wanted to improve those conditions he could have voted to provide the funds that the Trump administration asked for. But he didn't.
Over the past 20 plus years Cummings could have spent his time working to improve problems in his district - the very essence of representing his constituents. But he didn't, or he did so in such an incompetent way that his district has remained a mess.
What's wrong with the President calling out inept legislators? Every Democrat President I can remember has criticized the Republicans opposed to him.
No it wouldn't. You want to go back to the way things used to be and how the repugnant repubs were in the past - THAT DIDN'T WORK! We finally have a president with some balls and guts to go after these lying scum buckets. You want to fight war from the democRATS with civility. How's that worked in the past????
Liz, regarding your post 41, here is some more info on Cummings wife Maya and all the illegal stuff shes into.

Millions of dollars.
Thanks for the links.
Dollars to donuts they get a cut of the zillions Feds shower on Md.
You are right. I was out in San Fran. a few months ago, visiting friends in their tarp houses. And while I was taking a steaming crap out on the street, it cam to me that I can’t understand why Trump says such things about rat infested DNC cities. We need to ignore incompetent DNC leadership and their devastating results, and only focus on the Presidents manner of tweeting we don’t like, because that’s so much more important.
If you were in the Feces District you violated no law.
The truth will set you free.
