'There is nothing racist' about it: Trump defends his criticism of Elijah Cummings and Baltimore

Donald Trump defended his recent criticism of Elijah Cummings and Baltimore, Maryland, which falls in the district the congressman represents, claiming there was 'nothing racist' about his comments.

'There is nothing racist in stating plainly what most people already know, that Elijah Cummings has done a terrible job for the people of his district, and of Baltimore itself,' Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon. 'Dems always play the race card when they are unable to win with facts. Shame!'

In an earlier tweet Sunday morning, Trump also blasted Democrats for 'playing the Race Card' and making him out to be a racist for his digs at Cummings, who is black.

'The Democrats always play the Race Card, when in fact they have done so little for our Nation's great African American people,' Trump posted to Twitter. 'Now, lowest unemployment in U.S. history, and only getting better. Elijah Cummings has failed badly!'

OF COURSE it's racist!
Trump calling out Baltimore because of:
...All the racist garbage littering the streets
...The racist rats and rodents
...The racist boarded-up houses
...The racist open-air drug markets on every corner
...The racist disregard for law

C'mon liberal America, Trump is no racist. He's just calling it as he sees it.

Mark my words, though, I have a feeling that just before the election Trump will announce his plan to save the worst cities in America, and he'll do it with business opportunities.
He will succeed and it will save our cities.

As he should. Cummings and the rest of the democrat RAT CAUCUS have been hammering on PRESIDENT TRUMP with LIE'S. PRESIDENT TRUMP has FACTS. AS USUAL. BALTIMORE IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A SHITHOLE. It's not just the politicians of Maryland. You can blame the ASININE BLACK COMMUNITY for being hand fed by government for decades. START THINKING FOR YOURSELVES. BE MEN AND WOMAN OF YOUR OWN.STOP FOLLOWING AND START LEADING YOURSELVES.

Baltimore MD IS the geroih capital of the nation!! So wtf does Cummings have to say about this? They don't care about the people just the backroom deal. Look locally at Day and John Cannon's unethical waterfront development and magnify it by 1000

Well......no one seems to recall that Jared Kushner the POTUS's son in law is one of the biggest slum lord section 8 developers in the Baltimore area. Grandpa TRUMP was a big slum lord Woody Guthrie wrote a song about it. You people bitch and moan about local slum lords and developers but they are no different than your precious commander in chief. Robbing Peter to pay Paul and bankrupting contractors and working people with every project and convincing you they are righteous. Without a pot to piss in yourselves you drink the Kool Aid wave the Flag and rally this incredible FARCE because it feels good and at last you feel included. The Economy and jobs were on the rise before Trump and no thanks to Obama it was just a natural upswing. Are you saving ? Are you invested ? Besides Social Security and Medicare your gonna need a cool 1.5 million in savings unless you want to live in a trailer park or as a ward of the state. Like the very immigrants and minorities you despise. Lets just take off the red white and blue glasses and get back to reality here. Madison Avenue could not even dreampt up and pitched this ridiculous Twittering reality show Circus.
