Just when he got over the “racism” controversy of suggesting that an America-hater was free to leave if she didn’t like it, President Trump is once again embroiled in silly liberal racism hysteria. This time the President had the gaul to make the astute observation that Baltimore has a slight crime and filth problem. Also, I was just kidding. The left never gets over these faux outrages concerning Trump’s innocuous statements.
Like everything that sets the left off, this begins with President Trump’s Twitter:
Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA……

….As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 27, 2019
Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!

Okay, what did he just write that isn’t 100% true? The answer is nothing, but liberals hate the truth so therefore it must be racism. Here’s CNN to get the ball rolling:
President Trump tweeted that Rep. Elijah Cummings’ district is a “rodent infested mess” where “no human being would want to live.”
It’s @VictorBlackwell’s home district.

Trump literally wrote that Cummings’ West Baltimore district was “rat infested.” He never said or even implied that it was infested with “black and brown people.”
CNN’s Oliver Darcy kept the ball rolling with this one:
“No human being would want to live there.” Imagine the reaction from the right-wing outrage machine if @IlhanMN had made that comment about a slice of America. They quite literally would tell her to “go back.” https://t.co/f1jFULnjqm

We don’t have to play the “what if” game here; Ilhan Omar talks shit about the entire country on a regular basis. That’s the reason why President Trump pointed out to her that if she hates America so much she’s free to leave.
Which brings us to Maggie Haberman of the New York Times:
POTUS claimed his issue with the Squad was how they talked about America. Cummings district is part of America. https://t.co/LF5YrsvvxF

True. Cummings’ district is part of America and it just so happens that part is a shithole. What’s yer point?
Weirdly enough, Bernie Sanders said a similar thing about Baltimore a few years ago:
Residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace.
— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) May 5, 2016
I wonder why the liberal media never accused Bernie of racism for saying that Baltimore is a bigger shithole than North Korea. They don’t have a double standard when it comes to outrage, do they?
Obviously this will be the thing that liberals will rage about for the next week or until Trump tweets that San Francisco is covered in human feces. We can expect the liberal media to start running “fact-check” pieces to show that Baltimore is really a beautiful safe city, despite all the murders and filth. Nancy Pelosi and the House democrats will pass a resolution declaring the President a racist and Baltimore the most glorious place on Earth.
This is all part of the leftist campaign to define true statements from Trump as racism. He says (maybe) that Central America, Africa, and Haiti are shitholes, which they are, and they cry “racism.” He tells Ilhan Omar if she doesn’t like America, and she doesn’t, that she can leave and they scream “racism.” He says Baltimore has a problem with crime and rats, which it does, and they hire a skywriter to put “racism” over Washington DC.
Sometimes the truth hurts, but for liberals suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, it can be fatal. When you live in a fantasy world, any glimpse of reality can be dangerous and even deadly.
