Trump calls Cummings 'racist' in new round of Twitter fury about Baltimore

Source: The Baltimore Sun

President Donald Trump called Rep. Elijah Cummings “racist” in a Sunday afternoon tweet as the Republican president continued his attacks against Cummings and Baltimore.

In the tweet, Trump wrote that if Cummings “would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and Baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess that he has helped to create over many years of incompetent leadership.”

He also called Cummings “racist” in the tweet without offering an explanation as to why.

That's why he keeps yelling racist things and accuses others of racism. It is meant to confuse, distract, infuriate.

Trump plays this game well, and we keep following his lead.

Love it. Elijah Cummings has faced far worse than this piece of human excrement. IQ45, however, needs to head over to the residence and change his undies. I'm afraid he's had a little accident.

Your hyper-racist trashing of an American icon is music to Democratic ears, and an invaluable aid to getting the Democratic vote out. Keep up the good work.

They are guilty of violating their own TOS and are aiding and abetting the furtherance of racial attacks regardless who is doing it.

Twitter serves no purpose but to spread hate and discontent.

There never should be a cartoon of blue birds with hoods unless this is an ongoing activity!

BANNED!

Without the Republican Senate’s treasonous support, Trump and his crime family would be living small inside a federal prison.
