Baltimore Thanks Trump For Cumming’s Curruption Callout

Look for Trump’s new nickname for one of his rivals to be “Corrupt Cummings.”

As the war of words between the President and Democratic representative Elijah Cummings, D-Md., continues to escalate, Trump has said that residents in Cummings’ depressed district of Baltimore have “thanked him” for exposing Cummings’ “corruption.”

Trump made the comments outside of the White House before departing for Jamestown, Va., when he was asked whether he felt he was “hurting” himself with his comments about Baltimore. The President scoffed that he was, instead, “helping” himself.

“I think I’m helping myself because I’m pointing out the corruption in Baltimore,” Trump responded. “The White House and myself have received more phone calls from the people of Baltimore and other cities thanking me.”

The President has been locked in a feud with Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., for days after he called Baltimore—which is in Cummings’ district—a “disgusting, rat and rodent-infested mess.”

On the lawn of the White House, Trump continued his response, “Those people are living in hell from Baltimore—they’re largely African-American. They really appreciate what I’m doing and they’ve let me know it. They really appreciate it”

He then went on to tout that unemployment for African-Americans has been “the lowest in the history of our country” under his administration.

“What I’ve done for African-Americans, I would say no president has done,” Trump said, describing the administration’s successful criminal justice reform. “They are so happy about what I’ve been able to do in Baltimore and other Democrat corrupt cities…They are so thankful they called me and said finally somebody is telling the truth.”

The President went on to say that he feels “so sorry” for the people of Baltimore, and that “if they ask me, we will get involved.”

He concluded, “African-American people love the job I’m doing because I’m working for them—not the politicians.”

Trump Vs Cummings

The latest sparring match between Trump and a Democratic Representative, this time Cummings, started after Cummings criticized border patrol officials during a House Oversight Committee hearing last week. Trump, over the weekend, claimed that conditions in Baltimore were “more dangerous” than those at the border, and said that “no human being would ever want to live there.”

Democrats immediately rallied to Cummings’ side, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who was born in Baltimore, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and accused Trump of being a racist.

On Monday, Rev. Al Sharpton, an MSNBC host, joined the conversation, tweeting that he would travel to Baltimore to address Trump’s remarks and “bipartisan outrage in the black community” over them.

Trump fired back, calling Sharpton a “con man.”

“I am the least racist person of anyone,” Trump said Tuesday. “Al Sharpton is a racist.”

Trump then went on to suggest that Cummings, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, review the conditions and corruption in the city.

“Cummings should take his oversight committee and take them down to Baltimore and study the billions and billions of dollars that’s been stolen,” Trump said. “They ought to take that beautiful waste of an oversight committee and take a look at Baltimore and other Democratic-run cities.”

  1. The number is $16 BILLION given to Baltimore to fix its problems. The money has disappeared down a “rat hole” and has never been seen again. Talk about stealing, fraud, extortion and corruption!!!!! I wonder how many millionaires were made in the Baltimore City government with that $16 BILLION that was stolen. As an aside, Cummings was supposed to show up 2 days ago in Baltimore to tour the HUD facility there. He canceled the tour. Where is his Congressman buddy to eat KFC fried chicken???

  2. You hear the headlines how convenient that guy in Baltimore palace been robbed? Considering that Baltimore is a shit hole (I avoid driving thru) and that his wife is in trouble with money laundering? I wonder what he did with Obama stipend that he received when Obama was the president?

  3. I don’t think anyone will ever vote for “Corrupt Cummings” again. If he ever gets re-elected, we’ll know it was fraudulent.
    Fancypants Pelosi’s crooked father was the mayor in Baltimore back in the l950’s, and more than likely, that’s when Baltimore started to go down hill. It was a beautiful city up until then.

  4. THE DEPLORABLE DUMMY RAT DEMOCRATS NEED TO PRESSURE CUMMINGS INTO TO RESIGN HIS POST IN CONGRESS.. HE HAS STOLEN HIS CONSTITUENTS MONEY AND TAXPAYER’S MONEY TO LIVE HIGH ON THE HOG ALL
    THESE YEARS WITH ANYONE SAYING A DAMN WORD.. IF YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN ON
    ALL ON LEADING TELEVISION NETWORKS EVEN THE FAKE NEWS NETWORK’S OF CUMMINGS TALKING ABOUT THE FILTHY CITY OF BALTIMORE IS NOW AND THEN WHEN THE VIDEO WAS MADE IN THE 1990’S. PRESIDENT TRUMP
    WAS RIGHT AND THE CITY OF BALTIMORE, MD BACKS UP EVERYTHING THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID UP TO DATE.

  7. The president is just telling it like it is, just look at other cities that have been controlled corrupt forms of leadership, Like Detroit, under Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick, or Atlanta under Maynard Jackson and Kasin Reed.

    I’m originally from Maryland and my husband was a Baltimore City Police Detective (he has been retired since 1990) The city of Baltimore has been a disgusting rat infested mess as long as I can remember and I was born in 1952. My mother and grandmother both were raised in Baltimore City in the early 1900’s and it was a decent place back then but the democrats have destroyed the city and will continue to do so as long as they are in control We left Maryland and now reside in SC however my heart still feels for those that want to make the city a better place.

  9. President Trump… while I agree with your message about the corruption in our government at all levels… When do we see them getting real JAIL TIME…. Starting with the Clintons.

  10. The SOCOMS R not going 2 pressure EC in2 resigning. If anything they will double down in protecting him. By some off the wall reason they will blame POTUS. SOCOMS cannot afford losing the black vote. To admit corruption & bad govt. is NOT a SOCOM tactic.

  11. [email protected] Elijah Cummings is a race baiting anti-American. It serves him right for not taking proper care of the people in his district, He should be investigated!!
    Oh they can demand everything on trump and its okay, but an unhinged DEMONrat, oooooh no!
    They need to lock up they real crooks!
    Oh, that’s most of the DEMONratic party!!!

  12. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have become multi-millionaires by stirring the pot and being “Racist” and I’m not kidding!

  13. TRUMP WAS RESPONDING TO THE VICIOUS ATTACK BY SEN. CUMMINGS ON THE CHIEF OF OUR BRAVE BORDER PATROL AGENTS. TRUMP IS RIGHT. CLEAN YOUR OWN HOUSE BEFORE YOU ATTACK ANYONE ELSE’S.I AM OUTRAGED #1 THAT HE IS CALLED A RACIST FOR HIS REMARKS.#2 THAT HE IS CRITICIZED FOR HIS REMARKS. #3 THAT SEN. CUMMINGS HAS THE NERVE TO B–CH AT CONDITIONS AT THE BORDER WHEN THE DEMOCRATS DID NOTHING TO HELP FOR MONTHS, ENCOURAGE THE ILLEGALS TO COME HERE, WHEN IT IS THE JOB OF CONGRESS TO CHANGE THE LAWS, NOT BREAK OUR LAWS AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO BREAK OUR LAWS.

    I AM SOOOO DISGUSTED WITH THIS NEW DEMOCRAT CONGRESS, ESPECIALLY THE HOUSE. VOTE THEM OUT!!!!

  14. Gotta love this man. He calls it the way he sees it and there is no Political Bull Shit in his words. The people of Baltimore have been ripped off and obviously Cummings and others either are part of the scam or turned their back on the problem

  15. Cummings has always made out like he was above ridicule and suspicion. Wrong! He is corrupt and so is his wife. They have ripped off Baltimore and he is a two faced SOB.

  16. These “CRIMINAL POLITICANS” always get away because they cover for each other, that is how they become “MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES” off the backs of “WE THE PEOPLE”, we are just their little nothing taxpayers with no voice !!

  17. I feel very badly for the citizens who live in this district in Baltimore. So much could be done for rebuilding this community. Cummings has been in Office for over 2 decades and this is OK with him??? Pres Trump is right to call him out on this and to question where 16 BILLION DOLLARS went! Elijah Cummings is ALL MOUTH and and Needs the “Race” Card to exploit Racism while doing Nothing to Help this District..He’s a USER of these human beings who so desperately NEED Our help! Far TOO MUCH CORRUPTION under his Leadership….

  18. All of our US Baltimore US Constituents

    probably 98% of Baltimore, Maryland US

    support what President TRUMP said about their home born US City of Baltimore

    🎆💓👍TRUMPence2020👍💓🎆 successfully assured
    Amen & Amen!!!

  19. I was startled by Rep. Cummings, presiding with his “oversight committee” roaring at Trump Administration appointees, whose response to Cummings’ screaming outbursts were polite. Cummings is a “bully” whenever the opportunity affords him to be excessively officious. It was unnecessary when questioning mannerly representatives of the presidential administration. Obviously, President Trump made sure to remember Cummings’ nasty barking in that congressional setting. Again, it was totally unnecessary. The President saw fit recently, remembering Cummings’ behavior against members of the Trump cabinet, who took the Cummings’ verbal beatings, in turn behaved mannerly, but President Trump made note of Cummings’ nasty behavior when he sat in a House congressional interviewing seat. Cummings received treatment from the President “in kind”, when Baltimore, MD was cited in a list of ten national horrible cities, as rat, crime, and disease infested.
    President Trump gave Cummings “what for” in order to definitely make the point that he was justified to convey.

  20. If he cancelled his visit to Baltimore’s HUD facility sounds to me like he has something to hide. How bout we check his finacial records and see what turns up. Whats good for one should be good for another.

  21. I’m glad that the demoncrats are being exposed. The only word they know in their vocabulary is racist. I wonder what they say behind closed doors about Baltimore and the cities and states they represent. Can someone record those sessions please! The people need to push the issue for lawmakers to make laws that will require prison time for Senate or Congress when they are sworn in for any corruption committed in office to insure the safety of this country and its citizens. Remember and don’t be stupid they work for us not the other way around. No more of this make a career out of being a Senator or Congress and milk the system.

  22. You got to love it….. Demorats are shooting themselves in the foot everyday ,soon as they open their mouth .

  23. Hey clueless people Maybe you should stop thinking you have to vote democrat because you are poor and start thinking maybe you are poor because you vote democrat. Go look at the biggest slum in the USA-100% democrat CONTROLLED FOR DECADES.

    THE ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL PRESIDENCY OF MUSLIM BARACK OBAMA. THE BIBLE (BOOK OF JUDGES) PROVES BARACK OBAMA IS THE MOST IMMORAL PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD. And making a mockery of the U.S. government

  24. HEY-O…..ELIJAH……TRUMP WILL NOT “OBLIGEYA”…….SO MUCH MONEY HE TOOK……CAUSE HE’S A CROOK…….NOW, BALTIMORE WILL RUN YO RUMPUS, OUT OF TOWN ON A RAIL….ALL TARRED, & FEATHERED! COULDN’T HAPPEN TO A BETTER SLIME BALL!
