Morning Melt is not even denying that Balt. is a dump. They are just crying racism and assuring us Cummings is a smart guy. Bleeding Mika is lecturing us about this being Trumps problem while nearly bursting out of her blouse.

DJT needs to put the IRS on the Rev. Al.
Unlike the people Obama used that agency to target, Al is far from innocent.

The great thing about Al Sharpton doing a protest in Baltimore, is that some percentage of people, may essentially be finally noticing that he’s protesting the results of the effect of a century of Democrat policies on inner cities.
God Bless Donald Trump for finding a way to make this a part of the national political dialogue. It took balls of steel to start this. Our cities should NOT BE SLUMS.

Al Sharpton's answer to fixing inner city problems is the staus quo.

Someone should hand Al a broom and tell him to get to work.

Cummings and the democrats cry racism because they don't want people to know they have received over 5 Billion dollars from 2003 - 2013 to solve this problem. I guess like everything else they lined their pockets and solved nothing. But wait President Trump is a racist...
BALTIMORE BURNING: IT'S NOT A MATTER OF MONEY. WE TRIED THAT
With the surety of night following day, the Baltimore riots have been followed by calls for more government spending to fight poverty in our distressed inner cities.
President Barack Obama says "massive investments in urban communities" could "make a difference right now." Representative Elijah Cummings, who represents Maryland in Congress, says, "We have to invest in our cities and our children." And House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, who also represents the state, says, "But we're going to have to as a country invest if we're going to have the kinds of communities we want."
But the idea that we haven't been "investing" in Baltimore is nonsense.
Federal and state money has been pouring into the city for decades. From fiscal years 2003 to 2013 (the last year for which these reports are available), Baltimore received at least $2.4 billion in federal assistance and another $1.8 billion in state aid. The city also received roughly $1.8 billion in federal stimulus money, of which more than $1.4 billion has been spent so far. And this doesn't count the billions of dollars received directly by the people who live in Baltimore through various social welfare programs.
Yet nearly a quarter of the people in the city still live in poverty, 65 percent above the national level. We've clearly been throwing a lot of money at poverty in Baltimore without much result.
Part of the problem, unsurprisingly, is that the city does not make very good use of the money it receives.
In 2012, for example, Baltimore received $9.5 million in federal funds to deal with the city's growing homeless problem. But according to an audit by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the city did not properly monitor the homelessness funds, paid providers according to a preset formula rather than actual expenditures, lost track of money in several instances, and paid city staffers based on estimates, not the actual time they spent on grant activities.
The city ended up having to repay nearly a third of the money. Not to worry, though: Baltimore expects to receive another $21.8 million in homelessness assistance this year.

THIS is the end game. The Dem Party walked right into the trap. At this point they are going to be forced to defend the conditions in Baltimore as acceptable while explaining how they created and maintained those conditions. They are arguing that parts of the city aren’t “third world” when everyone knows they are.

That’s very true.
And with a few Tweets, Donald Trump has identified that problem to people who would otherwise listen to Al Sharpton. He’s not talking to Sharpton or Elijah Cummings. He’s talking to the people that they’ve taken for fools for 50 years. Suddenly assholes like Sharpton are about to be on the defensive. And it’s gonna be GLORIOUS.
This is amazing to watch.

Sharpton is part of the mindset that keeps blacks down. No question.
Can't stand that dude. Go Trump.
Ballsy and risky but healthy in the long run for our nation to take this on.

Sharpton is going to show up today to tell those people living in that filth that it’s not that bad.

I expect to see Trump bring in the fact of long term Dem control in the city.
THEN, he gets to mention, Pelosi’s dad being mayor of the city, back in 50-60.
It’s almost like the POTUS is cooking a gumbo.
