Baltimore Mayor Young criticizes President Trump's plans to visit the city this Memorial Day weekend, saying the trip will send a conflicting message to residents about stay-at-home directives and cost taxpayers money.

“That President Trump is deciding to pursue non-essential travel sends the wrong message to our residents, many of whom have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 virus,” Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young said in a statement. “I wish that the President, as our nation’s leader, would set a positive example and not travel during this holiday weekend.”

The White House on Wednesday said the president and first lady will participate in a ceremony “to honor the American heroes who have sacrificed their lives serving in the US Armed Forces.” The hoisting of the American flag after the fort defended Baltimore Harbor during the War of 1812 inspired the poem that came to be known as “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

AWorldOutOfMind He should pay all his bills cash and in advance. Let the rodents take part in his rallies.

Seriously?

Well said Mayor!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Simple fix, don’t lift a finger to help the visit.

Baltimore should give trump a welcome he will never forget if he comes

And the rally will guarantee a spike in cases and deaths by mid June

Just don’t show up at the airport and do not give him police for security. It’s on him then. And if Covid rears it’s ugly head after he leaves then sue the shit out of tRump and the US government.

The visit will cost a lot of money, but do not get your hopes up getting paid, he has not a good track record of paying the city’s their cost if putting up with him

He should not visit a city he called 'rat-infested' UNLESS & UNTIL he apologizes. He knows he's not welcomed there. He's a racist whose only purpose is to get something out of BEAUTIFUL BALTIMORE. He's been asked not to go. STAY PUT, DT!

He must have talked to other mayors who got stuck with Trump’s bill after he “visited” their cities. As always, Trump the grifter leaves without paying the check.

The last time the fraud potus was in Baltimore he told the Mayor that Baltimore is over run with RATS !!!

Th negative comments frm these Dem city & state officials is really getting old. They r so disrespectful.

Tell him he has to quarantine for two weeks first!

Where's the real news at?

Smart Man plus Chump no mask

All Trump wants to use the uninvited Baltimore visit for, is to further divide the African American community.

Could 100 thousands block his path, spread out at six feet, of course. Block the streets? Block the venue. Why is he going to Baltimore..he called a shithole city? washingtonpost baltimoresun Baltimore remembers and won’t forgive

Why would POTUS go to a Democrat CESSPOOL Because he can !!! He wants to tear down the PLANTATION !! Encourage people to WALK AWAY MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This idiot must not know most of America is opening up? And America loves to see this President. That's what this is all about. He is just a jealous petty politician. America can bet he had his hand out for stimulus money.

Taxpayer money that will NEVER be reimbursed by the Trump administration.

Watch out for Trump Temper Tantrum when he doesnt get his way!!! OMG long weekend!!

You know this socialist Mayor knows his city is the pits and the President will show the nation just a sorry state it's in.

Trump deems churches 'essential' in coronavirus pandemic, calls for Memorial Day reopeningsTrump called on governors to reopen places of worship over the Memorial Day weekend. The impact was not clear as state officials decide which businesses are essential. They have never been essential during at least 2 of his 3 marriages Funny how he didn’t close anything so he doesn’t have a constitutional authority to open anything either. Killing his base to own the libs.

Trump to order US flags lowered to honor coronavirus victims as death toll approaches 100,000President Donald Trump said Thursday he will order U.S. flags to be lowered over federal buildings to honor those who have died from the coronavirus. Trump is in the manufacturing of untruth business. He’ll come up with anything that serves his interest. Question is what are GOP operatives going to do about it? Trump alone can’t execute his deceptions alone. Go after GOP accessories to Trump. Trump is a lost cause. He didnt order that. No way.
