I have lived in DC my entire life and travel all over the world. I have been robbed twice - both times in Baltimore.  Trump is a POS and an awful human, but let's not pretend Baltimore doesn't have some serious issues to deal with....[/quote]

I lived in Baltimore for 6 years and was robbed zero times. There, now we have two anecdotes.

Also, I haven't noticed anybody objecting to the tweets on grounds that Baltimore is a problem-free utopia.[/quote]

I lived in Baltimore for 10 years in Charles Village and my house was never broken into.  I worked at Hopkins Hospital in a bad neighborhood and wasn't robbed there.  I did have my car broken into once and also was teed by someone running a red light.

My good friend has lived in DC for just over 15 years.  He's had his car broken into three times.  One of those times, the car was stolen and recovered about 2 weeks later trashed.  And his house has been broken into.

Now we have three anecdotes.  DC isn't looking so superior from anecdotal evidence.[/quote]

I should have been more careful with my words. I was violently robbed in Baltimore twice.....once at gun point the other with a knife to my back. Both times I was walking from JHU at night. I knew the area but not well enough and got turned around. In fact, the cop literally asked me how I ended up on this street if I was coming from JHU.

I still go there once a month and it's been years since those incidents. I should have noted that this absolutely can happen to me in DC. My car has also been broken into and vandalized in DC. But, DC has really changed. We had leaders that really made a difference. It's not perfect, but it's so much better. Baltimore is where DC was in the 80's. It's a beautiful city and the people deserve effective leaders.[/quote]
