WASHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump hit out at a prominent African-American critic on Saturday, calling him a "brutal bully" who should concentrate on cleaning up his "disgusting, rat and rodent infested" Baltimore district rather than criticizing the work of U.S. immigration officers on the Mexican border.
Trump's target in a series of early morning tweets was U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings, Democratic chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, who has called Trump a racist and sharply criticized his immigration policies.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded to Trump by calling Cummings a champion for civil rights and economic justice and added in a tweet: "We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership."
Yes, Trump is racist for pointing out the same thing Bernie Sanders did. Baltimore has become a Sh*thole. Maybe Cumming should stop ignoring his own district in order to get national media, anti Trump attention.

Cummings has made a small fortune skimming the money appropriated for his district. He needs to keep it a shithole in order to keep the funds coming in.
Once again, Trump told the truth, and the dims can't handle someone pointing out the truth. And now we hear the barrage of "racist" from the media.
Here's what the dims have realized: Trump's numbers among the minorities has and is rising. They're (dims) way of combating this is a desperate plea to paint him as a racist to drive those numbers back down. And nobody is buying it, except for the leftist progressives.

Indeed, in 2015, Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders likened Cummings’ West Baltimore district to a “third world country,” and, standing with a group of Democrat city leaders, went on to say this:
“Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation. You would think you’re in a third-world country. What we are talking about is a community in which half of the people don’t have jobs. We’re talking about a community in which there are hundreds of buildings that are uninhabitable.”
After the same outbreak of street violence that led to Sanders’ visit to West Baltimore, President Barack Hussein Obama his own self referred to the rioters as “criminals and thugs.”
So where was the outcries of Bernie Sander's "racism"? And BHO called the citizens "criminals and thugs".

Democrats are categorically incapable of telling the truth, behaving with even a shred of integrity, or admitting the obvious if doing the opposite gets them attention.

I would love to see the Black community in Baltimore start being pro Trump. That would be HILARIOUS!

I keep saying if the black community flips Trump this nation is saved. That is ALL it would take.

Thus why the progressives keep screaming racism.
To add, this is also why the progressives want open borders. This gives them yet another voting block to expand upon in case the blacks and other minorities decide to leave the dem plantation.

I don't think THAT is going to happen... but if the Dems nominate a progressive lunatic like Sanders/Warren/Harris, enough blacks (and hispanic and other groups generally classified as "nonwhite") might walk away to give Trump the victory. I don't think they would totally flip for Trump, but enough could vote third party to have the same effect. I suspect, though I don't have any hard evidence, that a substantial fraction of that demographic is much more moderate than where the Dem party is today, and especially than where they seem to be heading.

Exactly right. In some cases it is backfiring on them, some blacks are going, wait a damn minute! You all about illegal aliens and you haven’t yet fixed our problems, and these illegals are taking all our jobs!
The Democrat party is making a big mistake taking the black vote for granted. I soooo want to see blacks turn and tell them to shove it where the sun don’t shine.

I think Blacks will vote for Harris due to skin color. Yes, I know she's not all Black, but like Obama, Black enough to be a POC. Less of them would vote for Sanders, Biden, or Warren, but I still think the majority will vote for whomever is the Democrat nominee.
The media will demonize Trump enough as a racist to keep most of the Black vote Democrat, unfortunately.

They probably won’t flip for Trump as long as they keep watching MSM. The left propaganda machine is a huge problem. But you are right I believe most blacks are far more moderate than the far left. The best we can hope for probably, is they (and other demographics that watch MSM) will find themselves experiencing enough cognitive dissonance (the news isn’t reporting what they see with their own eyes like increase in work opportunities) that they will indeed just not vote or go third party out of confusion.

Well, Trump is relentless on this Cummings/Dem failure in Baltimore, and he’ll keep up similar attacks on other Dems from now through the election. “With live action shots,” as this article says, backing up Trump’s claims.
Make no mistake ... Blacks tweet, they read tweets, and they’re watching, as the video here shows.

The operative rule in politics these days seems to be that any criticism of a non-white politician from anywhere to their right is, by definition, a racist attack. Nothing Trump said pertained in any way to Elijah Cummings’s skin color or ethnicity, only to his failure as a legislator and political leader to do anything to improve his district. The real question is: Is he right?
In May, the New York Times Magazine ran a cover story called, “The Tragedy of Baltimore.” The story details how, in the wake of the 2015 riots—or “uprising” in the view of those who imagine the torching of a neighborhood CVS and the intentional sabotage of the firefighters’ equipment to be revolutionary actions—Baltimore went from bad to horrible: “nothing less than a failure of order and governance the likes of which few American cities have seen in years.”
By any measure of systemic urban collapse, Baltimore is, as Trump said “very dangerous & filthy.” Among the largest 30 American cities, Baltimore has the highest crime rate, and is a close second to Detroit for the highest rate of violent crime. But for murders, Baltimore is second to no other city, with more than 50 homicides per 100,000 people. That puts Charm City in the ranks of Jamaica, Venezuela, and El Salvador in terms of lethality.
“You would think that you were in a Third World country,” said a noted senator during a tour of Representative Cummings’s district in 2015. “There are hundreds of buildings that are uninhabitable.” Was it Ted Cruz or Jeff Sessions who sneered, “residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace”? No, it was Democratic candidate for president Bernie Sanders, whose comments about Baltimore were not condemned as sickeningly racist, but contemplated as brave reflections on the failure of America to help its struggling communities.
