It could also be said about some parts of DC and probably other cities including in poor parts of the south and Appalachia but that doesn't make it any less true. People trying to defend the beauty of Baltimore look stupid. Why cant we just be honest anymore?

Well why can't folks be honest and say that was very un-Presidential of Dumb Donald?
What is he magically above criticism his damn self?

People always say that about Trump. And it doesn't make him any less right in his comments on Baltimore. There are something that are politically incorrect to say as president. That doesn't make the statements factually incorrect.

What's factually correct is that #45 is a straight up @sshole. Now are you gonna try to defend his virtue and look stupid or you gonna accept the honest truth?

Oh I agree he is. Baltimore is also a shith*le. Both are true.

He called Third World countries “infested” with Ebola sh*tholes too. You saying a city in the US is equivalent to a Third World country?
Are there dirt roads? People starving covered in more flies than clothes living in huts and ravaged by disease? Is that Baltimore?

Anything to bring some attention to Baltimore is a good thing. Hopefully change will follow.

Why doesn't Trump lambaste the elected officials there? Why doesn't he talk about it as "a place no human being would want to live"?

Hmmmm, we can only wonder...

Well that’s easy. Baltimore has had over a billion, years billion with a B, of federal
Grant money and is still in third world condition in many areas. Where did the money go? One can only wonder...

The guy is a bully and an @sshoke and the most divisive prick this country has ever had. I don’t care if he’s right about there being poverty and crime in Baltimore, the fact that he opined it in an “Us versus Them” manner and instigating division among Americans instead of encouraging unity among us is not only despicable but it is unethical for the office which he holds. The issue isn’t how jacked up some areas of Baltimore are the issue is how jacked up this piece of shit President is.

Big deal. Red states also get billions in aid and welfare benefits from the Feds.

Again, this was no defense of Baltimore. Hogan should be ashamed of himself for trying to play this down the middle.

Spend one second thinking about how William Donald Shaeffer would have reacted to trump. That's what I'd want to see in my governor.

You took quite a few flying leaps here. He called Haiti and El Salvador shitholes. I dont believe either had an issue with Ebola. There is more than one criteria by which something can be called a shithole. Baltimore has the highest murder rate in the US (even higher than El Salvador ironically), last year a Baltimore teacher took to begging on social media for heat in the classroom showing kids freezing during class in full winter gear (yet somehow they've spent more on their schools than most places in the US), the schools are some of the worst academocally in the country (definitely in the state), not to mention the corruption in the elected officials that you can also find similar to some of those Shithole countries previously mentioned. All this after years of pouring money into the city.

All of these things and more have been reported recently by the Baltimore Sun. But of course pride has pushed many including the editors of the Sun to respond with indignation instead of being outraged that politicians many of whom have been there for years (Elijah Cummings) and still the place looks terrible.

Many of those places are shitholes too. What's your point?

Larry Hogan is a tool. I live in Baltimore city and he has nothing to defend because he has been mia when it comes to this city’s problems. Too busy setting himself up for a senate run F off Larry.

I completely agree!

Trump called it rodent and rat infested. What is there to defend? The best defense would be to show it’s not rat infested, but that’s not possible.

If I called Baltimore rat infested, it would be a true statement, why does it matter who said it?

[Anonymous]

Anyone notice Cummings did not say "there are no rats"?

Why not?

[Anonymous]

I mean who wouldn't want to live among rats? Why are you guys making a big deal of it ????

/s

Never mind that Trump said no one would WANT to live in those conditions. Of course humans do live in those conditions but it's not racist to say no one wants to ...because no one wants to no matter your race.

If I called Trump Tower rat infested, it would be a true statement, why does it matter who said it?

Because he doesn’t spend any time in that s hole so he doesn’t know. Probably asked an aide to check on it for him. Or he’s busy helping to hide his wife’s corrupt business dealings. Pick one. Either way he is an A. ! Hasn’t attended one child’s funeral. Not one I hate him on so many levels. You show up for gun shot victims in your district. You show up.
