Trump was stating facts about Cummings’ district. Facts are neither racist or not racist. They are facts.

I've been told, straight up, by leftists: "facts can be racist".
So there's that.

Because he's a black Democrat.

It has nothing to do with logic.

Even more ridiculous is that many Democrats have been stating those very same facts for decades about Baltimore's many problems.

The media can invent any narrative they want and then use any incident or statement to push it.

No Progressives on this board have ever answered this question.

I have asked every one of them for a definition of the word racist and racism and then an explanation of how Trump and/or his tweets fit that definition and no one has ever answered me outside of:

"its not my job to explain that to you"

"if you don't see why it's racist you're too stupid to talk to"

"you're just trolling, everyone knows it's racist"

No one on tigerdroppings or Reddit has ever answered the question. But I have been flooded with down votes, insults, and non-answers.

Because to a progressive, words have no true meaning. Because truth is relative. And facts are what you want them to be.

Loyalty without question. Blind obedience without reason. Blessed be the fruit.

Facts are too closely related to that legendary racist, math.

Because one is not allowed to criticize nonwhite Democrats.

If Democrats could, they would make it against the law.

Because the truth hurts, and the regressives are all about feelings and lies. POTUS is saying what the silent majority (that voted for him) is not.

I think he's lined his pockets enough from that at this point.

Only when they want to send federal dollars to the shite hole neighborhoods the facts are not racist.
