No, he smeared the residents, too. He called them sub-human. |

30 years ago, I visited friends in Baltimore who had purchased through a special program in one of those horrible blocks. They were sincere liberals who really wanted to do their part to improve Baltimore. The townhouse was cheap and they spent years and years trying to improve it with blood, sweat, and tears.
I visited more than once, but I do recall on one occasion being in the little yard in the back and seeing a very large rat run along the fence. It was disgusting. I had my two small children with me, and was just horrified. This couple worked hard on this place and were true believers in helping people. They put their young kids in the local schools and worked hard to improve things. When the kids got to be around 10 or 12, they threw in the towel and moved to one of the areas on the edge of Baltimore. They did this with sincere regret that the venture was not a success. I think they spent about 20 years on this place. They were not trying to "gentrify" the area. They just wanted to make it better. Maybe, they helped a few people, but it did not work. Their townhouse was one of two or three on the block which was not a total abandoned disaster. They did not have much money, but did the best they could. My point: Trump was talking about rats--not people. That CNN commentator was way out of line to say otherwise. Baltimore is literally full of rats--one of the worst, according to Orkin. |
Truth: black defendants are handed down the death penalty at a much higher rate than whites for similar crimes. Truth: Trump seems to have a soft spot for celebrities. Truth: At the same time Trump pushes "prison reform" he decides to bring back the death penalty (see first truth above). Truth: Trump hates certain sections of America and they seem primarily to be those in which black and Hispanic American lives. Truth: Trump has never once visited one of the crime infested and blighted neighborhoods he likes to hold up as being places no real human being wants to live in. Truth: Trump opposes raising the minimum wage which would help in particular theAfrican Americans in the scourged neighborhoods he likes to insult. More truths: Trump is the only president whose company was investigated and cited by the Justice Department for racial discrimination against tenants. Trump didn't want black accountants at his casinos. There are no black advisors working in the White House. There is only one black cabinet head. The former president of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino publicly said that Trump absolutely believes that whites are smarter than blacks. |
Trump thinks your friends are sub-human. |
Did you know the White House has a mouse and cockroach infestation? https://www.newsweek.com/white-house-has-roach-mice-infestation-showing-trump-might-be-right-about-it-727758 |
Congratulations, this is exactly what Fox News broadcasted before Trump put out today’s batch of racist tweets. |
Thanks for your post. And, Trump is right. Many parts of Baltimore are hellholes. And, have been for quite some time. It's ironic that this fact has been stated many times on this forum, but now that Trump has pointed it out, it is an issue. |
And, the fact that you find the tweets to be racist shows that you are in total denial about the issues in Baltimore. |
What did GOP and Trump do to show they care? |
Why isn't he speaking out about the mice/roach infested White House? |
They want to kill black inmates and make sure struggling families no longer get access to food stamps and to make sure people work 2-3 jobs instead of getting higher minimum wages that allow them to live off a 40 hour week. |
The White House is more than old, and even President Harry S. Truman joked in 1945 that the building remained the "crown jewel of the federal prison system." It has not been renovated fully since the 1950s. |
Excuses, excuses. Until he issues a tweet about his mouse-infested home, hard to take him seriously about his concern for the rats of Baltimore. |
And you are in total denial about how Fox News is running this country. |
