Baltimore Mayor Doubles Down: Trump’s ‘Violating the Law’ with Memorial Day Visit

Baltimore Mayor Jack Young (D) is once again demanding President Donald Trump scrap his planned visit to the city on Memorial Day, arguing that he believes the trip is against the law, citing the city’s stay-at-home order still being in place due to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

“We don’t need to be spending our resources for the president who’s coming here under our orders to stay at home. I think he’s violating the law,” Young said, according to CBS News Baltimore.

The White House announced this week that President Trump and first lady Melania Trump will travel to Baltimore to visit the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine.

President Trump said in a statement:

The City of Baltimore remains under a Stay at Home order that was put in place to help safeguard our residents from the dangers associated with COVID-19. We have worked closely with our health professionals to educate the public about the benefits of social distancing and staying home, unless leaving for an essential reason, like visiting a doctor or picking up groceries.

On Thursday, Young first called on President Trump to cancel his trip, citing health concerns stemming from the pandemic and the price tag associated with a presidential visit.

Young said, reported CBS Baltimore:

I wish that the President, as our nation’s leader, would set a positive example and not travel during this holiday weekend. I would hope that the President would change his mind and decide to remain at home. If he decides, however, to move forward with his scheduled trip to Baltimore we will, of course, be prepared for his visit.

Fort McHenry is a national historic site. Tell the mayor to pound sand.

Jack Young is a typical racist African American. I have a feeling that the President didn't invite Fat Jack to any of his events and he is butthurt over the President visiting the Fort. Can anyone confirm if Fat Jack didn't get an invitation?

Good God this ignoramus is the mayor? No wonder that city's not fit even for cock roaches. I guess he doesn't know Ft McHenry is a national park and he has zero jurisdiction over it. His "law" has no meaning there. Another poster boy for what an utter failure affirmative action is. Totally clueless about Civics 101 And the worst is while his IQ is somewhere in the imbecile range his voters' are lower so they think the ignoramus knows what he is talking about.

But those black lives matter don't they. What a joke. Young is a disgusting vile loathsome human being. He's talking more about this then he's ever done when an innocent black child gets their brains blown out by a stray bullet in that filthy crime infested $hit hole of a city.
