1. Two Points:

"alleged leader." Good on the mayor. Keep this appellation going in the news. Everyone pick it up.

"a disappointment." Yes, but it's more than that: He is a danger to the people, not just of Baltimore, but of the entire country. Except for racist criminal scumbags like himself, who he is enabling and encouraging.

5. the blatant hypocrisy of trump...last week it was "send her back" - yet he gets to trash anything

Replying to
@realDonaldTrump
In Trump's America:

If you're white, you can criticize America as much as you want because that's your "right".

If you're a person of color, you can't criticize America at all because it's a "privilege" for you to be here.

2. He omitted a two-word closing. F U.

[Kali]

3. ...

[murielm99]

4. That is because he has more class than

the dimestore Mussolini.

[CurtEastPoint]

6. Indeed. My brain automatically attaches that signoff whenever I see/hear/think of that POS

[JohnnyRingo]

18. I saw it between the lines.

[lindysalsagal]

7. IMHO: This is frump sabotaging his re-election

Deep down, unconsciously, he knows he's done, and he's planting excuses for the loss for his black, rancid ego.

[trev]

8. Interesting thought. nt

[tman]

9. Trump thinks this helps him.

It's why he does it.

Sadly, he might not be wrong.

[onetexan]

15. Let the fool keep it up so all of America can see him for the ignorant, racist crook that he is

come November next year he'll have his ass handed to him. Once the new administration is in office our leaders can indict the buffoon, his kids & his enablers for crimes against the US and throw the lot of them into prison.

[ginnyinWI]

37. And he's got nothing else.

No plans, no hope. In a downward spiral, Imho.

He’s only good at destroying things. So he’s doubling down on it.

In his own mind, he’s being tough by “fighting back”. And that’s as far as his self-awareness reaches.

[Journeyman]

10. Regrettably, similar opinions were expressed by many throughout the latter half of 2016 . . .

His ego is such that he believes anything he says can only be of benefit to himself.

The normal rules and perceptions don't apply to the Dotard, for everything he perceives is filtered through his unshakable belief in his "very good brain."

Such comments will hopefully be a detriment to his future but I doubt he'll ever see them as such.

[Possum Hunter1]

16. Bernie!

Bernie was one of them. I don't understand why. I have seen the tweet, maybe it was faked.
Baltimore is a great place, I have been there many many times, in a lot of the neighborhoods, never saw any crime.

[ginnyinWI]

38. He's got to have his daily dopamine rush.

The one he gets when he tweets or says something that gets him attention. A second motivation is to grab media attention for the day.

[lunatica]

11. Yeah. Even he can't be that stupid.

[tavernier]

23. I think it's more likely a Manson thing.

His version of Helter Skelter, hoping to start a race war.

[democrank]

12. THUG PRESIDENT

[Submariner]

13. Cummings, or someone Trump denigrates, needs to call Trump out

Cummings, or the so-called squad individuals, or Mueller, or Kerry, or Bill Clinton, needs to call Trump out for tweeting insults at them, or in Big Dog's case, at his wife.

Get in front of a camera for a quick sound bite and insult the racist pig Trump. "I dare you to say to my face I am what you say I am, or what you say about my wife. Say it to my face you racist coward!"

Somebody has got to do it. Trump shits on everybody and nobody fights back. I'm sick of his shitting on Democrat(ic) Party crap, about everything.

We're going to lose in 2020 if we let him setup Dems as weaklings that don't fight back. At 72 as a retiree I can't get close to Trump to tell him what I really think about him to his face. It would be worth getting arrested for the first time in my life to disrespect the MF'er. I'd be proud.

[Captain Zero]

14. I like the way you think

I think we need a few of the candidates to call him out that way.

[pangaia]

27. Where the fuck are the millions of people in the streets??

Puerto Rico does it
Hong Kong does it
Moscow does it

[stillcool]

29. I don't know if there was any kind of ...

count of the number of people protesting in the Lights for Liberty protest nation-wide....great pics here:
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/07/13/1871375/-A-Wave-of-Protest-From-Sea-to-Shining-Sea:-#LightsForLiberty

but we're much more likely to read about protests happening in Hong Kong than in the United States.

[stillcool]

30. The Mayor of Baltimore not good enough?

I just got on-line, but would think there's lots of people replying to the twit's tweets. The Dems are weaklings bit is getting old.

[JohnnyRingo]

17. "alleged" leader of the free world. LOL

Also acceptable: "would be", "wannabe", " so called" or just "moron".

[jayschool2013]

19. Trump should tweet racist shit about cities in purple states

I dare you, Twitler. What do you think about Richmond? Charlotte? Milwaukee? Philadelphia? Pittsburgh? Detroit? Des Moines? Houston? San Antonio? Atlanta?

[tavernier]

25. I wouldn't try it in Jersey.

[shenmue]

20. Thank you, Your Honor

[handmade34]

21. "...Trump, you are

a disappointment to the people of Baltimore, our Country... the world" (and me... well, actually he is more than a disappointment to me... I never thought enough of him to now be a disappointment... I knew he was a vile ass years ago)

[patphil]

22. It's no longer just shit-hole foreign countries,

it's now shit-hole American cities.
But, we all know who the real shit-hole is don't we.
Trump, the man with two assholes, but only one sphincter. His mouth spews forth shit 24/7.

35. Trump is a miracle...

Normally, when we grow up, we learn to defecate through our rear. That is what we are taught. Diaper training and all...

But Trump's raising was unique: He is the only person I know of who repeatedly defecates through his mouth...

(and his fingers, when he is on Twitter...)

[X_Digger]

24. Frankly, you still couldn't pay me to live there.

Baltimore is #2 with a bullet when it comes to murder, #3 for violent crime in general, #1 for robbery, #7 for aggravated assault, and #5 for burglary. You couldn't pay me to live there. That said, there's a lot of other places you couldn't pay me to live, either. (Stat's from the FBI's UCR, summarized at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate

[walkingman]

28. Frankly no one is asking you to live there - the point being that our President is degrading one our

great America cities for what he considers political points by those that love that sort of behavior.

[GetRidOfThem]

36. Baltimore has problems...

But it is a great city, and I go visit it with my wife on a regular basis. We live in Washington, D.C., and going to Baltimore and the inner harbor is a regular getaway...

[walkingman]

26. Since the Trump family moved into the WH it is now filled with assholes and a stench.

[BootinUp]

31. No mincing words there. K&R

[Mc Mike]

32. And your mater and pater were disappointed bigly, too, tRump.

Same for all your wives and baby mommas.

[customerserviceguy]

33. Just another Trump distraction

We have Democratic presidential debates just a few days away, and we're talking about this?

[Cha]

34. "Alleged" ******* leader is

absolutely right!
