President Trump took to his favorite vehicle to reach the American people — Twitter — again on Sunday to once again prove that he isn’t one to wilt in the face of another coordinated hostile media attack.
POTUS being POTUS:
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. Dems always play the race card when they are unable to win with facts. Shame!

The media and Democrats (redundant, I know) have spent the weekend screaming “RAAAAAAACISM!” over Trump’s comments when in reality he was, as anyone who has ever been to West Baltimore can attest, just giving an accurate description. An opinion that could have been considered bipartisan consensus a few days ago suddenly became a racist screed merely because Trump said it.
I did a quick little experiment today and came to this conclusion:
In reality Trump performed a minor miracle. Google “West Baltimore” & you’ll see that nobody had anything nice to say about it until yesterday.

Back to the president. He wasn’t done trolling Cummings and the Dems with that one tweet. He did a slow rollout of couple more. First, he decided to counter the racism charges by flipping the tables:
If racist Elijah 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. His radical “oversight” is a joke!

Those two tweets alone are enough to get everyone at CNN and MSNBC barking like agitated Sea World seals. President Trump decided to throw one more in to really raise the cacophony at both places to ear-splitting levels:
Under the Trump Administration, African American unemployment is the lowest (best) in the history of the United States. No President has come close to doing this before! I also created successful Opportunity Zones. Waiting for Nancy and Elijah to say, “Thank you, Mr. President!”

It’s too bad that he didn’t decide to do this until after the Sunday news shows had aired. Little Georgie Stephanopoulos’s foot-stomping reaction alone would have been worth paying for.
Rest assured that there will be no defending of Cummings’s record with any burdensome facts. The media will just keep screaming “Racism!” until they’re hoarse because they once again need to deflect.
