President Donald Trump lashed out at Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) — accusing the governor of taking a "nasty and provocative tone" in a letter inviting Trump to a public safety walk in Baltimore.
In a Sunday morning post to Truth Social, the president ripped Moore and attacked Baltimore as "crime ridden."
"Governor Wes Moore of Maryland has asked, in a rather nasty and provocative tone, that I 'walk the streets of Maryland' with him," Trump wrote. "I assume he is talking about out of control, crime ridden, Baltimore? As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a 'walk.' Wes Moore's record on Crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other 'Blue States' are doing."
Trump then threatened to deploy troops to Baltimore — as he has in Los Angeles and Washington, and is reported to be considering in Chicago as well.
"If Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the 'troops,' which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime," Trump wrote. "After only one week, there is NO CRIME AND NO MURDER IN DC! When it is like that in Baltimore, I will proudly'"walk the streets' with the failing, because of Crime, Governor of Maryland. P.S. Baltimore is ranked the 4th WORST CITY IN THE NATION IN CRIME & MURDER. Stop talking and get to work, Wes. I'll then see you on the streets!!!"
Moore, in his letter dated Thursday, asked the president to join him next month at the public safety event.
"I would like to formally invite you to attend our next public safety walk in September, at a dateof your choosing," Moore wrote. He added, In Maryland and in Baltimore, you will find people who share the same commitment to public safety that I have-and who want to be part of the solution, not the problem."
The president went on to threaten federal funding for the rebuilding of the Francis Scott Key bridge — which collapsed in March 2024.
"I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge," Trump said. (The funds were actually approved by Congress as part of a spending package during the final weeks of the Biden administration.) I will now have to rethink that decision???

Wow, so unlike Trump to LIE about easily verifiable FACTS ! What a POS as usual. Who gets hurt by impeding the bridge reconstruction again ...?

Do you think the funding for the bridge should be questioned because Trump thinks someone said something nasty about him? (There was nothing nasty about Moore's offer by the way).

My question is do the safety walks include lots of press and police or is it just a few members walking around?
Do you really think Trump would participate without an army to protect him ?
My question is are the safety walks done without Trump have protection when they go out to their "safe" cities?
There is no such thing as an actual "safe" city in the US. Decades of keeping the "undesirable's" tucked away from the mainstream and more affluent, have brought US All unsafe sections of our Country. I've worked in Nasty areas of Philadelphia, Trenton, Camden, Chester, etc.
I've observed much, so "safe" city is not even a tangible thought, as it would take decades and Trillions to turn around a system wrought with a flawed design, by its own
Do you really think the Secret Service would allow the President to walk around a city without police and secret service protection?
One can only hope.
You may want to read my comment again. I didn't name any specific President. By your comment I guess you are fine had the Secret Service let Biden walk around D.C. by himself.
Used to be a paramedic in KC. Always strapped a .45 Colt derringer to my ankle before going on a call. Although I never pulled it, was eventually fired for it.

Trump rips anybody who questions him or disagrees with him. We are a free country and should have free speech to disagree. Trump is determined to destroy our freedoms. Question him and send in the guard. He's like the Queen in Alice in Wonderland.
Trump is insane. All Trump followers are stupid and insane.
But Governor Moore merely invited him on a safety walk. There was no disagreement in words or tone.
Maybe it was the word "walk" that upset him?
