Trump mocks Democrats, vows new tax cut in trip to Baltimore

Trump has not backed away from his charges that Democratic leaders are responsible for the ills of America's biggest cities.

America's large scale poverty, especially among inner-city non-whites, has to be understood historically as a complex dynamic that includes any number of elements shifting over time. So typical of Trump and the ruling class to oversimplify and blame one of the many 'others', in this case Democrats, they demonify so they can remove themselves from responsibility. Ruling class: own up to your roles in allowing rat-cities to exist. Trickling down on the population doesn't work. Start with that.

 "Welcome rat king."

Apt title. Like the rats Trump's best understood as a result of his genetic algorithms and the social/cultural/environmental algorithms that have shaped him. Doesn't say much for the genes Trump's inherited nor the environment he's lived in, does it.

has to be understood historically as a complex dynamic that includes any number of elements shifting over time

Nah, let's just keep it simple. The richest people in the US are concentrated in blue cities which is a direct result of liberal policies. The poorest people in the rural stretches of America are poor as a direct result of conservative policies.

Easy.

Duly noted, so how is it that blacks that live in overwhelmingly Democrat controlled cities have the worst poverty? Democrats consider themselves to champion of black uplift and progress, if so, why so much high crime and poverty and why is it that Democrats never address this problem and why is it that when asking these legitimate questions Democrats label people as being racist? Democrats care only about one thing and that’s votes. Minorities are an end to means for the DNP their very survival hangs on getting the black vote, if 5% of blacks were to completely switch to Republicans it would be very hard for Democrats to win, this is another reason why bringing in more impoverished minorities and offering them entitlements is so critical and that’s where the open borders debacle comes in and makes sense.

Baltimore has it share of problems, but it also has something that Trump could never have in a million years: Character.

The Emperor has arrived in Baltimore to accept the applause of the local populace who live in a "disgusting" place "no human being" would live in? Isn't that special. I hope they give that haughty and insulting conservative Republican elitist windbag all the respect he deserves.

Corporations, too. All headquartered in big blue cities and wildly successful. Why? Democrats.

You are right, so why are all the whites successful in States like California and NYC and minorities aren’t, but the Democrats keep harping that they care and that they are the party that can address the problems in their cities and that care over 50 years has shown itself quite vividly.

Is the man who says he supported denying housing to blacks demanding answers from me about why blacks aren’t more successful?

Why do they tend to vote Democratic? Gee, I don't know, maybe it has something to do with comments from Repubs like Rep Steve King;

*King, who adorned his desk with a Confederate flag, once suggested that America *should not have to apologize for slavery.

*In the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri, following the shooting death of an 18-year-old black man by a white police officer, King said on Newsmax TV that *racial profiling was not a factor because all the protesters were of a “single … continental origin.”

*King has repeatedly suggested that “Western civilization” is a “superior culture.” In an MSNBC panel discussion in 2016, he argued that white people had contributed more to society than any other “subgroup.” “Where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you’re talking about? Where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization” than white people? King said.*

*Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) asked The New York Times about the term in an interview published Thursday. *"White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?," 

Oh yea, they ought to be lining up to vote Repub...

C'mon, Lincoln. Don't be so dense.

Headline: GOP paid millions to operative who pushed census question aimed to help whites

Black people: Let's give that party a try.

Is the man who says he supported denying housing to blacks demanding answers from me about why blacks aren’t more successful?

With good reason given the climate of NYC in the late 60’s and 70’s.

Why do they tend to vote Democratic?

I don’t know, so why is it that the black community under the Democrats hasn’t prospered in over 50 years, why? Why is it that 13% of the black population that votes overwhelmingly Democrat has the highest crime rate in Democrat controlled cities?

SuperLib: Is the man who says he supported denying housing to blacks

Bass: With good reason

Black people: I think I'll give his party a try.

Trumper/Repub schizophrenia example #1 - says sure, Donnie had good reason to discriminate against black Americans, denying them housing based merely on their race. Yet in same thread asks rhetorical question; I wonder why blacks vote for Democrats?

You can't make this stuff up....

Donnie had good reason to discriminate against black Americans,

It wasn’t just black Americans, but sadly, the Colombo mob family controlled the majority of the drug trade, they weren’t going to get involved in the main streets of New York so they need an ally and that was Frank Lucas and Lucas was the largest and most powerful black drug lord mafia associate at the time and most of the people that he employed were of course mostly black.

denying them housing based merely on their race.

Given the fact that New York had a record amount of our arsons and vacated buildings And drug dealers selling drugs and making drugs are these qualities in people shooting up, trump didn’t want any of that near his buildings and who can blame him and sadly the people overwhelmingly that were pushing adult and that was sitting in squalor and shooting up in selling wear mostly black, there’s nothing racist about it that were the facts.

Yet in same thread asks rhetorical question; I wonder why blacks vote for Democrats?

Ok, let’s focus, so how has the Democrat party life easier, better and more prosperous for Blacks in cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Compton, Oakland, Detroit? What progress have they contributed to the betterment of the community over the last 50 years?

The richest people in the US are concentrated in blue cities which is a direct result of liberal policies. The poorest people in the rural stretches of America are poor as a direct result of conservative policies.

Almost all large American cities are Democrat run. Cities contain more rich people because cities have more economic opportunity in them being cities. If all people cared about was money, everyone would live in the city. But people care about more than money. The mindset of a typical Republican tends to keep or drive them to the country. But the country is basically no place to get rich. As for truly poor people, I grew up poor in the country. But I was pretty far from the tent cities I have seen in Los Angeles.

Would cities become poor for Republican leadership and the country rich for Democrat leadership? No. That won't work. The country simply does not have the economic base to get rich and economy is not created by government. Its true the existing economy of a city could be destroyed with bad leadership, but its pretty hard to be THAT bad without a government even more authoritarian than America already is.

As for why Black people might be relatively poor, it might have something to do with Black culture not putting pursuit of wealth at the top of their lists. I hardly consider the White culture that accepts and even encourages the shafting of others to get rich to be a positive thing. Fans of Bill Gates never seem to be able to find fault with him and are either clueless or accepting of the horrific things he has done to get rich.

Almost all large American cities are Democrat run. Cities contain more rich people because cities have more economic opportunity in them being cities.

But all the most economically strong cities with the most rich people are democrat.

It's because the Republicans are failures at running cities.

bass: It wasn’t just black Americans

It was specifically black Americans only.

Given the fact that New York had a record amount of our arsons and vacated buildings And drug dealers selling drugs and making drugs are these qualities in people shooting up, trump didn’t want any of that near his buildings

Best to ban all black people just to be safe. You never know when one is going to set fire to your building or shoot up.

No clue as to why more black people don't vote GOP. Probably just too stupid.

He said the president's trip "symbolizes that, yes, he cares about Baltimore," 

That picture at the top is funny but this quote has to be THE funniest thing I've read in a few days!

Trumpers - They don't need a shovel just to dig their own hole deeper....

Hummmm....nothing racist about saying overwhelmingly blacks are criminals and drug dealers, and that's why we will discriminate against all black people? Maybe you need to re-read the definition of racial discrimination;

Discrimination, unfair treatment or bias against someone or a group of people on the basis of their race.

Dodge. Explain Steve King to us....

But all the most economically strong cities with the most rich people are democrat.

You say "rich people" like its a good thing. I value more than money. Those who value only money or almost only money are more likely to be rich or richer than me. I don't think its a good thing.

And I will try to point this out again, but, when most people living in a place are Democrats, they will be led by Democrats. Are you surprised that Democrats vote for Democrats? On the other hand Republican minded people stay in the country and SURPRISE...they vote for Republicans! Its not Dem or Repub policies in general. Its the difference between the country and the city. Certain policies of both sides however allow for people to get rich exploiting said policies though. This all way more complicated in aspects and way more simple in others than saying "Democrats are better at economy". Even if it were a little true its not enough to explain everything.

Silicon Valley, too. What a fantastic story. All the result of Democratic policies.

The language of POTUS contains: Racist, Prejudices,Violences & Porn,  rated unsuitable for children under 16, parents guidance is essential and urgent !

Duly noted, but clearly not understood. Comedic gold.

You, like Donny, are making assuming incorrectly that because some drug dealers and junkies are black, all are. Logic failure.

You, like Donny, think it wiser to simply deny an entire class of people housing based solely on their race instead of making individual determinations.

Smooth bigotry.

On the other hand Republican minded people stay in the country and SURPRISE...they vote for Republicans!

And remain poor because of republican policies.

The writing's on the wall now, here comes another trillion dollar tax cut for the upper 1% of rich Americans who need it the least.

Democrats are talking about policies and governing. Trump is putting on his clown act.

Trump spoke as Democratic presidential candidates debated in Houston. The audience laughed as he mocked some of his top challengers and claimed that more people would be watching him. "They should be watching the debate but they're probably watching this," Trump said.

What the hell does he even mean by that? Why should participants in a debate watch him? What a moron.

@Norman Goodman

The Source of Black Poverty Isn't Black Culture, It's American Culture! America was born with sin and keeps sinning.

As for why Black people might be relatively poor, it might have something to do with Black culture not putting pursuit of wealth at the top of their lists.

LOL! Utter nonsense! American history demonstrates countless examples of racist obstruction of black economic success. Is black culture why this 2003 study found that job applicants "with white-sounding names are 50 percent more likely to get called for an initial interview than applicants with African-American-sounding names"? 

I hardly consider the White culture that accepts and even encourages the shafting of others to get rich to be a positive thing. 

Yet, lots of white success has been off of the exploitation of POC! There is a lengthy history of racist policies and programs that existed to help white Americans at the expense of black Americans and other POC.

Racism is the simplest answer and racism, of all theories, is the one with a robust evidentiary trail.

Nail meet head. A long history starting with slavery and racial segregation law will not be shaken off for decades to come. Racism runs deep.

The USA is one of the developed countries in the world where it is hardest to shake off the socioeconomic circumstances of your birth. Hardly surprising given the deep racial segregation that still exists.

Millions of 1st generation immigrants, regardless of origination or race do better than some people born in the USA.

Why do you think that is? I think it is a failure of govt schools to properly teach what the parents obviously aren't teaching. Govt schools need to keep kids who test poorly in school and need to re-generate their kids in 15 yrs to continue the line of under performing kids.

Trump should propose tax cuts. He should propose 0% taxation. Why pay for anything while he's alive? Just pass on the burden to the next 10 generations.

Sad. So, sad.
