Last week, when Rep. Elijah Cummins (D-MD) trashed US Border agents for the conditions of the overflowing detentions centers, President Trump hit back at Rep. Cummings with three hard-hitting tweets:
Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA……

Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA……
….As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place.

Democrats and their allies in the meida came after Trump, calling him a racist for his statement. President Trump responded:
There is nothing racist in stating plainly what most people already know, that Elijah Cummings has done a terrible job for the people of his district, and of Baltimore itself. Dems always play the race card when they are unable to win with facts. Shame!

Trump followed up his tweets by brilliantly turning the race card on Elijah Cummings:
If racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and Baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess that he has helped to create over many years of incompetent leadership. His radical “oversight” is a joke!

Rep. Elihjah Cummings, whose run the race-card into the ground used Trump’s true statements about him to try to attract signatures on a petition. Cummings tweeted:
This morning, President Trump attacked Elijah and the city of Baltimore again on Twitter. But insulting tweets will not deter or distract him from his mission to ensure the survival of our democracy. Show your support by signing your name >>

The first response to Cummings tweet was by conservative comedian Tim Young, and it’s perfect!
Elijah Cummings is so upset about Trump criticizing him that he’s going to use it as marketing to add to his campaign fundraising email list.
Here are a few more responses to Cummings’ tweet:
No signature. But if I were a Dem, I’d vote against you three, maybe four times.
You prattle endlessly, @RepCummings, about children at the border, yet IGNORE hungry black children living in the squalor of your Baltimore plantation. You are not only a hypocrite, but a virulent racist, too. #MAGA
It’s okay to hold President Trump’s feet to the fire, but when it’s done to a liberal, it’s racist.
Sir facts aren’t racist. I need to see your solution/plan on fixing and helping your constituents.
“Elijah promises to keep up the good work like he has throughout his whole career. If you like your rats and crime, you can keep your rats and crime” #Trump2020Landslide
Why aren’t you down in West Baltimore cleaning up that rat infested place before someone gets bit by fleas from them, starts a plague like, Bubonic plague? This problem clearly didn’t start yesterday.
What do you think? Should Elijah Cummings walk away from this fight with President Trump? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
