[W:153] Trump assaults Congressman Elijah Cummings, says his district is 'infested'

Yes, rather than goading people on Twitter. Christ, there was a time when presidents weren't gutter trash.
"I miss the good old days of high-brow politics when Presidents wouldn't say anything when you constantly accused them of being racist idiots hell-bent on destroying the lives of middle and workng class people"
 
Elijah Cumming has called it as it is, that Trump is a 'clear and present danger' to this country. Using words like 'rat' and 'infestation' is clearly racially motivated. Elijah Cummings has sacrificed a lot for this country, you have no clue at all what he's done and neither do you care to know. He's appalled by Trump's defiance of our Constitution and rule of law. A bad person, particularly a destructive president must be called out for what he is.

And removed.




I can't stop laughing. Words like rat and infestation are now racist words.

You use the term rule of law, that's funny too. You don't care about the rule of law regarding border crossings and ignored the rule of law during Kavanaugh hearings. I forgot, that is totally different.
One word- -hypocrite. look it up.

Trump took the hypocrite's oath of office.

He wiped his ass with the oath in a same day turnaround.

Putin-Trump Rowers have been daily providing him with the Constitution on a roll of tissue paper since.

What has Trump done outside the constitution?
 
Trump Assails Elijah Cummings, Calling His Congressional District a Rat-Infested ‘Mess’ - The New York Times

[h=1]Trump Assails Elijah Cummings, Calling His Congressional District a Rat-Infested ‘Mess’[/h]
WASHINGTON — President Trump lashed out at a leading African-American congressman on Saturday, calling him “a brutal bully” who represents a Baltimore-based district that has become a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” where “no human being would want to live.”


Mr. Trump’s attack on Representative Elijah E. Cummings, a Democrat from Maryland and leading critic of the president, parroted a segment that aired earlier in the morning on “Fox & Friends.” The president suggested that the congressman was a hypocrite for criticizing conditions in migrant detention centers at the southwestern border when his own district is blighted. Mr. Trump also made a vague and unsubstantiated insinuation of corruption.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again, Trump attacked a Black member of Congress. Let me just say, that Elijah Cummings is one of the most respected man in Washington if not the most respected man in Congress. Elijah Cummings isn't the only member of Congress that voted for impeachment, but he may be the only Chairman of a Congressional Committee to do so. It's noted that Trump didn't rail on any of the white members of Congress via Twitter.

Victor Blackwell gave an emotional response, illustrating Trump's knack for using 'ping' words such as 'infested' to appeal to his racist base. Anyone that defends this immoral, unpatriotic, morally bankrupt president is on the ugly side of history.



"Assaults!"

:lamo

The New York Times is utter garbage.
 
You have to love the leftst poutrage. Black American congressman engages. President engages black American congressman. Leftists shriek racism because the president is responding to a black American congressman.

:lamo

classic

And if you want to try to defend Cummings district as anything other than a rat infested ****hole...be my guest. Better yet...go live there.

Meh. Blatant racists gonna be blatant racists. Supporters of a blatant racist are gonna support blatant racism. That's the new normal.

Why would we expect anything different?
 
In general, Trump attacks and deflects, instead of explaining or correcting. The attacks, rarely if ever, even make any sense. Perhaps that's why his statements are so vulnerable to charges of racism - because there is nothing fundamentally legitimate about his attacks, it's very easy to see racism or some other kind of prejudice implied.

You have to live the worshippers rushing like lemmings to defend their deity.

What's odds on Trump "accidentally" saying the n-word between now and election day next year? Andcwhat are the odds that your worship will continue unabated?

You're about as independent as Hillary Clinton.

This goes around and it comes around to you guys. Same as the vacuous pretend questions do.
 
More evidence that Trump is a racist and will willingly and eagerly use racism for temporary perceived political advantage.

He is disgusting and must resign at once.

Maybe I missed the point. What does Cummings district have to do with detained migrant kids? Are they housed in Baltimore? Can only Congresspersons from, say, where Trump Tower is located criticize the treatment of kids in ICE detention? Subtle lack of logic here. And if Trump is being racist here, which I haven’t heard, it’s small potatoes compared with his other examples.

I think maybe the point is multifaceted. When politicians live and have created a ****hole, they maybe dont have much credibility when you are claiming someplace else is a problem. Just as when they supported the last rat presidents policy of BUILDING those concentration camps and then posted pictures DURING the previous administration use of those concentration camps while trying to then vilify the current president they expose themselves as nothing more than piece of **** liars and hypocrites.

I get such a kick out of the racist Democrats. Trump attacks everybody. He attacked Jen Bush, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. He attacked Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. He’s attacked Angela Merkel, Emanuel Macron, and Theresa May. He attacked the Pope! But as soon as he attacks a person of color he’s deemed to be a racist.

The racists in all this really need to start looking in the mirror.
 
What has Trump done, that other presidents haven't?
What has Trump done outside the constitution?

There are 3 Categories for Impeachment and the media isn't talking about this enough, but the first category is, "Exceeding the Constitutional Bounds of the Powers of the Office in degeneration of another Branch of Government." That's almost word for word what Donald Trump is doing right now by challenging Congressional authority by denying them the power of the purse and going over Congress to suck money out of the military budget for his wall.

His co-conspirator went to prison to jail for his campaign finance violations. The list goes on, obstruction of Justice, the hush money payments as we know. He has been in constant violation of the emoluments clause since the moment he took office. He has funneled millions of dollars from the presidential budget into his private corporation. The abuse of the pardon power, giving aid and comfort to White Supremacists and Neo-Nazis. The undermining of the Freedom of press calling all real news Fake and all Fake propaganda news -real. The unconstitutional and cruel imprisonment of children at the Southern Border.

No other president in US history has done anything close to those offenses.
 
I get such a kick out of the racist Democrats. Trump attacks everybody.

With vermin imagery and "go back where you came from" tropes? Did "send him back!" chants break out about Jeb at any of Trump's Klan rallies?
 
What has Trump done, that other presidents haven't?

Stand on a public stage, and tell the world to put their trust in Russia's intelligence services, and not the USA's. (youtube Helsinki, in case you never saw this.)
 
Keep spewing your hate, Trump.

The 30% of the nation who enjoy your trashtalk won't be a match for the 55% of the nation who will be fired up to vote your nastiness out of office in 2020.
 
Ah, yes. More "racist dog whistles" that only democrats can hear. :lol:

Should he have said "an inordinately high population of large rodents"?

Oh no, everyone hears them. Trump's strategy makes it clear that he thinks his base is largely composed of cowardly racists.

Trump's Midterm Closing Argument: Pure Racial Fear


LOL, Trump's ads got so racist even FOX News wouldn't broadcast them.

With racist ad, Trump sinks to a new low


And isn't that exactly what you would expect of cowardly racists? To deny they are racists, and deny they are supporting racists? The question is: Does Trump know his base?

So, do you think Trump knows his base?

So, because someone on CNN has difficulty understanding the English language, and displayed negative emotion on cue, we're supposed to of course blame Trump for this man's issues? Some people said that Jussie Smollett's hoax was Trump's fault too, and that he was suffering PTSD from Trump's 'racism', lol.

Well Congresspersons from the city that Trump Tower is in need to go back to their own country, right?

The thing is, he accurately represents 30% of America. So while it may be disgusting, you can hardly expect someone who accurately represents so many to resign.

Trump's whole schtick recently is to lie about someone and thus shift the conversation to whether what he said is in any way true, rather than some useful topic.

I say recently, but I think that might describe his entire life in some ways.

Trump's comments are his fault. Unless you're suggesting he's not in control of his mind.
