Is Trump psychologically capable of not responding in a whiny manner to someone who talks ill of him?

Trump calls Atlanta district a ‘horrible’ and ‘crime infested’ place | Political Insider blog

President-elect Donald Trump labeled a congressional district that sweeps through the heart of Atlanta as a “crime infested” area that is in “horrible shape” in an early-morning tweet Saturday aimed at one of his most outspoken Democratic critics.

“Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results,” Trump said in a pair of Twitter messages ahead of the city’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations.

Trump's been hating on America and American institutions from the get-go. Reality doesn't matter. He crafts his own reality and millions obediently follow. Our national nightmare begins.

Look at what I could afford to get a loan for but couldn't afford:

Atlanta was recently ranked (October 2012) as the sixth most dangerous city in the United States among cities of more than 200,000 residents. According to Forbes the city has a violent crime rate of 1,433 per 100,000 and has experienced a violent crime rate rise of six percent in 2011. A reason for that is, amongst others, that Atlanta is lying on major drug trafficking routes[citation needed] and has suffered disproportionately from the financial crisis after 2008.[citation needed] Forbes claims FBI’s "Uniform Crime Reports" database as the source for its figures.

About 10 years. It sucked. Judging by their crime rate I won't be leaving the mountains to visit. I don't want to get mugged, even if they have a pretty stadium.

No, most places in the US don't have a high crime and murder rate. Interesting view you have of America, there.

Trump assumes that the district Lewis represents is Black which must then mean its one big ghetto and crime ridden and its all John Lewis fault.

Uhh, yeah. Duh:

so what did he say that was wrong?

can you actually deal with facts?
the only people still whining are liberals that lost.

Lewis made a stupid statement. Trump is legally the president no matter how much liberals hate it or want to cry about it or think it's not fair.
Looks like trump was correct in what he said.

What is Lewis doing to get help in fixing his city instead of crying about a legally elected president?

lewis should really be more worried about what is going on in his city than crying about a legally elected president.

Well then, feel free to stay in...wherever it is you are now.

BTW, we have pretty loose gun laws, so you're allowed to concealed carry here if you feel the need. Even on Atlanta's transit system!

Meh, that thing feels like too much of a tryhard. If I had money to blow and it had to be spent on a car, I'd probably get a Porsche or a Lamborghini.

You assume that Trump assumes. Trump was on target with his statement about Chicago. The left went nuts, like they do with anything about Trump, and a week later the DOJ came out with a statement that Chicago has problems. I bet if YOU researched the issue you would find that his district has problems. I don't care enough to research it so no, I won't.

research would then mean they gain knowledge and facts.
that messes with their EMO meme at the moment so therefore that type of stuff is not allowed.

I love how so many people who claim to believe in "local control" choose not to take a live-and-let-live approach to places that they have no knowledge or experience with.

And if you wanna deal with facts, not just the facts that suit your outsider narrative but actually paint a more nearly complete picture, start with the local demographics. And keep in mind that GA-5 also includes some poorer areas of suburban counties, such as Cobb.

Mac, you made the common blunder of lumping together poor people and people of color into the same boat.

Had you actually been to Atlanta, you would know that there are quite a few Blacks there that are solidly middle-class or better.

You just can't avoid racial baiting, can you? Is that why you like Trump?

Good to know you don't look things up before you post and then just smear Lewis's clientele without a clue.

Did you agree with trump smearing Sen. McCain and Prisoners of War as 'losers'?

How about trump's interview with Howard Stern saying, "sleeping around was my personal Vietnam" ?
