Yokel says also that it had nothing to do with race. Check a photo of Elijah Cummings. And as Mr Blackwell points out there is language Trump only uses when dealing with brown people.

For someone who claims not to be yokel he replies to posts specifically directed at Yokel........

democRAT infested.

Wonder what the criteria were for that search? Only search american cities in the US with a population of 5m or more?
Who would be stupid enough to read anything into that? Present company excepted of course...

Amusingly - but not for residents - one of the biggest landlords in Baltimore is Jared Kushner.

Google "kushnerville" for a laugh. Preidents son in law is a slumlord....

It's a pest control company who rank Baltimore as the 6th highest rat infested city in America.

Did you not read it?

The only unexpected one in there is Denver. Except for Denver and Washington, they're all port cities.
Ports have been like that for centuries.

I'm not disputing that.

I'm merely suggesting that DT's 'rat infested' comment might mean just that - rat infested.

It doesn't necessarily conclude that he's implying 'black infested' like some here are trying to suggest.

Trump, of course, doesn't back down. He has since fired off more angry racist rubbish.

A comment on Twitter this morning. A guy who has had a Trump sign in his front yard since 2016 took it down yesterday. His neighbour wondered why and asked. The guy said his ten year old son had asked him how he could support a racist like Trump. He thought about that and took down the sign. "If you haven't got the respect of your kid, you've got nothing."

Given his reported remarks on similar subjects, I'd suggest that was exactly the meaning he intended.

The man should know about rats anyway - his restaurants are becoming well known for the level of rat infestations.
Even the Trump hotel down the road from the White House has had kitchen violations.

Go back and read his post again.

He was referring to the date on the body building forum links that he posted - not the Baltimore Sun article.

Of course not,
a, it is not important
b, it is unlikey to be correct
c, yokel posted it, probably linked from a bodybuilding forum, so it is only good for amusement value.

Amusement over, I am going back to work now.
