I wish we could agree that Trump's comments were terrible, AND agree that Baltimore is similarly terrible and in need of scrutiny and overhaul...rather than have the PC knee jerk reaction of defending a city that so clearly needs better leadership.

I agree that Trump is terrible and Baltimore needs better governance. It is not lack of money, it is lack of leaders who use the money where needed.

Don’t want Trump to besmirch the poor blacks of Baltimore? Take away the reasons

Why just Baltimore, though? Why not St. Louis, or Memphis, or New Orleans?

Maybe some people hold the opinion he could do a better job focusing on his #1 priority: the constituents of his district instead of trashing the federal agents of the Border Patrol?

Just because he trashed Border Patrol, and justly so, does not mean his constituents are not his #1 priority. More likely, you all just don't like him trashing Border Patrol at all. So I say to you, if you don't like him trashing Border Patrol, stop giving him reasons to trash Border Patrol.

The President said there was a crisis at the border. Democrats called it a manufactured crisis. There is a crisis at the border. Democrats blame the President.
It really is this simple.

+1
And the blaming of the BP really is beyond the pale - as if BP is somehow responsible for the fact that there is nowhere to put the thousands of people descending on the border. They're doing the best they can and I certainly don't envy their positions.

Except for that guy who told a sick 3 year old named Sophie to make a choice between her mother and father, to decide which one she wanted to go with and which one to be sent back. I really don't think anyone can argue that guy was doing the best he could.

It's a wonderful place with some bad parts. Did Trump forget that he was from a big urban city? I don't see him trying to move from NY to Idaho.

Can you imagine any of the Trumps ever deigning to live in Idaho? They are urban elitists and would never, ever consider it.

This is rich, considering the way in which liberals on DCUM (and elsewhere) constantly trash talk places like Idaho as "flyover country." Forget the Trumps - YOU are the urban elitists who would never, ever consider living there.

Meanwhile, I have lots of family in Idaho. It's a beautiful, clean place. Hope to retire there someday.

I mean, “flyover country” is a very weak criticism when compared to what Trump said about Baltimore and her residents.

No one else has noticed the current state of Baltimore?

No one else has noticed the current state of depressed rural America?

Do all of your responses consist of whataboutism? This thread is about Baltimore. Keep up.

No this thread is about the President’s re-election strategy. I think they have decided that they will not win in diverse urban areas anyway and they need their base to turn out They are hoping to pump up their base but fostering “us versus them “ type divisions. That is why you have seen an increase in racist comments (“go back to where you come from “ to American born Congresswomen of color and the use of the word “infestation “ to describe a city with a large African American population. It is very deliberate. The 2020 election is going to be a turnout election so he wants his base to be daring to go, and for Democratic voters to feel depressed and worn out. I think he is counting on his comments to really resonate with his base (and drive up turnout) and also hoping that white, moderate voters in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania will not care enough to show up at the polls but might just end up fed up by the back and forth. The more he does this the more the face of the Democratic Party becomes people like AOC etc.

Then maybe you should try to get the Democratic Party to reflect what the majority of Democrats want rather than bowing to the fringe elements in the party who have unrealistic plans that cater to a few.

Or the Facebook group of 1000 BP agents who posted memes of AOC getting raped. Not the BP's finest hour there.

Trumps rhetoric leads to carnage. Hate begets hate. He is the most unChristian non religious President. He is godless. He is the void.

Just stop.
Hate is what caused these shootings. The shooters are at fault.
Just stop with your hateful rhetoric.

Yes, hate. Hate that is stoked by hate. Donald Trump's hate. He stokes it among his base. If you deny that you are willfully closing your eyes to his performance when his base started chanting "send her back" at his rally.
