President Donald Trump threatened to "rethink" funds the federal government sent Baltimore to repair a massive bridge that collapsed last year, making the comments after Maryland Gov. Wes Moore told him to visit the city or "keep our name out of your mouth."
"I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge. I will now have to rethink that decision???" Trump wrote at the end of a post on Truth Social calling Baltimore "out of control" and "crime ridden." He also threatened to send the military into the city to "clean up" crime like his ongoing deployment of National Guard troops to Washington.
The pair have fought in recent days over Trump's characterizations of Baltimore as overrun by crime and Moore's criticism of the police and military crackdown on Washington. In an Aug. 21 letter, Moore invited Trump to attend a Baltimore "public safety walk" in September to "discuss strategies for effective public safety policy."
"Donald Trump, if you are not willing to walk our communities, keep our name out of your mouth," he said at an event that day.

(353 posts)How is it that half of America looks at Donald Trump and doesnt find him morally repellent? David Brooks asks. He lies, cheats, steals, betrays, and behaves cruelly and corruptly, and more than 70 million Americans find him, at the very least, morally acceptable. Some even see him as heroic, admirable, and wonderful.
