I said much the same about Trump's likely motives at the time, but @ThePlumLineGS
is making a different point: that dumping on the state of the many bad parts of Baltimore is like scorning rural/Middle America's lifestyle. That's where I disagree.https://twitter.com/jhog667/status/1157480265054216193 …

He's not "wrong" or "right" because he wasn't trying to make any point about Baltimore. He was trying to attack and distract the Chairman of a Committee investigating him. Trump didn't thoughtfully bring up conditions in Baltimore. He used the idea of "infested cities" to attack.

You're beginning from the premise Trump was trying to say something insightful about Baltimore

Doesn't context and intention matter? If he were to say, "Baltimore has issues, we should do X, Y, and Z to fix it." That'd be one thing, but instead he insults an entire city, in the country he runs.

They could get a better "choice" if they stop voting for Democrats. But they keep voting for Democrats, and also continue to complain about their living circumstances in Democrat controlled areas.

His whole argument toward African American voters is that Democrats lied to them and they have nothing to lose taking a chance on him. He isn’t wrong. I grew up and still live in Chicago. It is one of the most racially segregated cities.

You can’t tell me either Mayor Daley cared about the African American community. I think Rahm actually did, but had other flaws.
