.MaddowBlog: With attacks against Rep. Cummings, Pres. Trump’s strategy becomes clear.

United States Headlines News

United States Latest News, United States Headlines

Last weekend, Donald Trump sparked international outrage with racist attacks targeting four Democratic congresswomen of color. This weekend, the president engaged in an eerily similar offensive, this time targeting a different Democratic lawmaker of color.

Alas, that was just the start of the multi-day rant. Trump went on to describe the Maryland Democrat as “a brutal bully,” whose district is “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.” The Republican added, in reference to the Baltimore-area congressional district, “No human being would want to live there.”

The more Trump’s latest racist tirade sparked criticism, the more the Republican returned to the subject. He spent a second day condemning Cummings and his district yesterday – Trump referred to the respected committee chairman as, among other things, a “racist” – and then returned to the subject again this morning.

With the fact that Trump, once again, has presented himself as being president of the United States, but only the parts he likes?

MaddowBlog Yep. Attack corrupt grand-standers.

MaddowBlog Criticizing failed policies of a democrat isn’t racism. Get real

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog Telling the truth is a wonderful strategy. He’s now got the media defending someone who’s done nothing for his district, and telling people that it’s good to have a rat infested dump.

MaddowBlog Boring

MaddowBlog Cummings is not protected against criticism because of his color. We’ll call him out if he’s not doing his job. No one wants to live in these kinds of conditions. Try us.

MaddowBlog Maybe address the fact that Dem run cities tend to be highest in violent crime, & lowest in literacy? How's that for a 'strategy?' journalism

MaddowBlog Must be true even Bernie made a comment as well as the mayor. Please tell the truth for the sake of the poor people. If Trump made it public why not help so the matter can be fixed. Trump is not perfect but neither are a whole lot of other people running their districts.

MaddowBlog Let me guess.. is it “racism?” You guys need to get another word - you literally took all of the teeth out of that one.

MaddowBlog Pointing out how awful his political opponents are at their jobs while doing great things for American citizens is a pretty solid strategy if you ask me.

MaddowBlog The kids at the border live in better conditions than the kids in Rep. Cummings district.

MaddowBlog We must raise the awareness of T’Rump reason for attack... to deflect , deflect, deflect! He should be removed!

MaddowBlog PBS documentary, Bernie Sanders 2015 calls it a 3rd world country, 3 mayors criminals, HBO makes 2 shows on the drug infested city the corner and the wire but hey Baltimore is beautiful!!!!! Lmao Cummings been there 20 plus years ..........

MaddowBlog It’s pretty clear Custer had a strategy at the Little Big Horn, and so did Napoleon at Waterloo. Not all strategies are good ones.

MaddowBlog YES! Call out Democrats who have failed their communities for decades!!

MaddowBlog Pig Trump is invoking Nixon's Southern Strategy, the problem is he and Radical Republicans are permanently destroying the Republican Party.

Great response but when is something going to be done. WTFU...That would be Wake The F$ UP! NANCY IS ON VACATION HER UNDER-PAYED TWEET READERS/WRITERS ARE RE-TWEETING
