Trump claims Baltimore residents 'thanking' him for taking on Cummings, exposing 'corruption'

By Brooke Singman | Fox News

President Trump on Tuesday said the people of Baltimore, specifically in African-American communities, are calling and “thanking” him for exposing the “corruption” in Baltimore, amid the days-long controversy surrounding his criticisms of the city and its Democratic leadership.

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.”



Trump, before departing the White House for Jamestown, Va. Tuesday, 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.”

They well be thanking him.

Wasn't Baltimore the city that had the mayor that told the police to stand down during a riot?

Years before the Mayor of Portland was green-lighting Antifa thugs, yes.

Not the current mayor. The current mayor has been in office a few months, due to the previous mayor being forced to resign (because she was caught in corrupt dealings).

Unfortunately, the Police-Hating State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby was reelected in 2018, and won't face the voters again until 2022. As long as she is in office she is a threat to any police officer who does his or her job "too effectively".
