He died of a brain tumour when he was 40 so maybe there is a god. He was a scummy cnut who helped feck up American politics.
 
Baltimore Sun replies:

President Donald Trump began his Saturday attacking Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and the city of Baltimore, Maryland. The city’s newspaper The Baltimore Sun unleashed on Trump for the racist attacks implying the residents were vermin or trash.

they cited the key phrase from Trump: “No human being would want to live there” it is a “very dangerous & filthy place,” he called the “worst in the USA.” The paper’s personal favorite was calling it a “rat and rodent-infested mess.”

“He wasn’t really speaking of the 7th as a whole,” the paper explained. “He failed to mention Ellicott City, for example, or Baldwin or Monkton or Prettyboy, all of which are contained in the sprawling yet oddly-shaped district…”

“It’s not hard to see what’s going on here,” the paper said. “The congressman has been a thorn in this president’s side, and Mr. Trump sees attacking African American members of Congress as good politics, as it both warms the cockles of the white supremacists who love him and causes so many of the thoughtful people who don’t to scream.”


Why Trump lashed out at Baltimore and Cummings gets lost in the shock of the racism. Perhaps it’s by design. He was illustrating how his migrant camps were better than some places in America. They are not, the Sun wrote.


“In pointing to the 7th, the president wasn’t hoping his supporters would recognize landmarks like Johns Hopkins Hospital, perhaps the nation’s leading medical center,” the editorial continued. “He wasn’t conjuring images of the U.S. Social Security Administration, where they write the checks that so many retired and disabled Americans depend upon. It wasn’t about the beauty of the Inner Harbor or the proud history of Fort McHenry. And it surely wasn’t about the economic standing of a district where the median income is actually above the national average.”


Instead, Trump was “returning to an old standby of attacking an African American lawmaker from a majority-black district on the most emotional and bigoted of arguments.”


They said the only surprise was he didn’t whip out “you people” or “welfare queens.” or mention the “ghettos.”


“This is a president who will happily debase himself at the slightest provocation. And given Mr. Cummings’ criticisms of U.S. border policy, the various investigations he has launched as chairman of the House Oversight Committee, his willingness to call Mr. Trump a racist for his recent attacks on the freshmen congresswomen, and the fact that ‘Fox & Friends’ had recently aired a segment critical of the city, slamming Baltimore must have been irresistible in a Pavlovian way,” the Sun explained. “Fox News rang the bell, the president salivated, and his thumbs moved across his cell phone into action.”



The editorial explained that it was “heartening” to see the uprising online defending the city. But, ultimately, it’s the White House who has the most power’ to affect change in the city, for good or bad. The administration has far more power than even Cummings.


“If there are problems here, rodents included, they are as much his responsibility as anyone’s, perhaps more because he holds the most powerful office in the land,” the editorial said.


They promised they wouldn’t “sink to name-calling” the way Trump would do, or even point out that he can’t spell or doesn’t know how to spell Cummings name correctly.


What they did want to do, is tell “the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are ‘good people’ among murderous neo-Nazis that he’s still not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one.”

That's probably the nicest thing that can be said about the cnut

Really enjoyed reading that, thanks for sharing :)
 
In a way I'm just glad this (Trump's racism appealing to a large swathe of America) is all out in the open, instead of being hidden behind racially coded language like "welfare queens", giving obtuse idiots plausible deniability to say, "oh he's not racist", or "his base isn't racist, they're just frustrated"

Like Ice Cube said... "Here's what they think about you"
 
Please please tell me there is evidence he was nowhere near NY when it happened. Even if there was, he'd start another controversy and it would be forgotten

He’s also very good at playing the media and the public.

Now they are talking about his racist comments re Baltimore and Cummings. Great, his base will love that and cheer even louder. He tweets so that his utterances will be the centre of attention. That’s great too. He loves it, his base love it and it distracts the media from the ongoing crisis at the border, the court cases for his taxes, Mueller stuff, ongoing CI investigations against him and the GOP, ongoing FBI investigations against him and numerous people connected with him and his family, the Dems running for the nomination and their request for GJ information. I’ve probably missed some stuff out but you get the idea. He’s controlling the narrative.

The media and public really do need to stay focussed on the constitutional crisis with Trump and the Russians and everything that this encompasses. I mean, what do you do when you have a youngster throwing tantrums? You ignore them or the tantrums increase. Trump’s a toddler. Don’t let him play you or it will just get worse. You’re adults, act like the adult in the room and take charge of the narrative.

the fact he is a psychopath does not mean the guy does not have the cunning.

Yes. His base will love everything he is doing.

The only plus I see here is the complete destruction of the Republican party.

There was silence before he said it and mild laughter after he said it. It was no big deal and if Obama had joked that way no-one would have batted an eyelid. Mountains out of molehills when there are so many far more serious things to be concerned about.

You don't find it to be in extremely poor taste to tell that joke at that venue?
 
I don't think he was being intentionally cruel to make that quip. I think he's just got a completely shite sense of humour.

Surely that kind of joke at a venue like that is extremely poor taste, regardless of who said it?

He was making light of the fact that it was a temporary platform put up on some grass. It’s quite possible that he was a bit worried whether it was strong enough or not.

Doesn’t matter because people who aren’t idiotic cnuts don’t say that sort of thing let alone in front of the whole nation.
