Democrats Use Trump’s Tweets to Hide Neoliberal Policy Failures

1. The Democrats are trying to make it about race when it isn't.  If someone criticizes Trump, he criticizes them right back.  It is that plain and simple.  It doesn't matter what race they are.  The Democrats are the people who criticize Trump the most, and so, it is the Democrats that Trump criticizes the most.  He's criticized as many or more white Democrats than he has criticized Democrats of color, but the Democratic Party seems to want to run on a platform of racism, trying to stir emotions to gain support, rather than focusing on policies because time and time again their Democrat policies fail the communities Democrats run.  Trump shines light on that fact in his criticism of those communities, and the Democrat leaders cry "racism" to try to hide the fact that he's right about their failed policies.

2. Yes these cities Baltimore Det Chinatown they all need work and black elected officials should do alot more
   AND TRUMP IS STILL A RACIST BIGOT THAT IN NO WAY DESERVES TO BE PRESIDENT WE CAN HANDLE MORE THAN ONE SUBJECT

3. good point: these politicians (for many decades) are willing to talk about something., not willing to DO anything., however….

4. So…is this ok?

   "Residents of Baltimore’s poorest burrows have lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace!” – Bernie Sanders, May 5th 2016

5. I've got the perfect solution to poverty.
   1. Go to a state without the death penalty.
   2. Kill a bunch of people.
   3. You'll go to jail and receive free food and rent for the rest of your life.
   4. You won't even have to pay taxes either.
   I'm not advocating violence. I'm simply stating a fact.

6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smAmo6tETxc "Urban apartheid." That is a very disturbing realization…recognition. This professor might think about visiting the farmers in Iowa Bernie Sanders recently met with re: his Rural America initiatives. Might be a VERY interesting and fruitful discussion. Wow! It could REALLY shake things up and take back "the news" cycle. Think about it Professor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smAmo6tETxc

7. This man needs to contact Bernie Sanders and arrange a sit-down with him asap. "American apartheid" is spot-on. This can be used as a narrative to take down the democrat neoliberal establishment "regime."

8. This is so stupid! Trump wasn’t attacking blacks he was attacking Cummings district which IS a shit hole. Come on when is it raciest to speak the truth? By the way Bernie Sanders said worse things about Baltimore a year ago but I guess it’s okay when a democrat says it. Wake up people and quit drinking the cool aid the democrats have been giving you the last 50 years. Cummings and his wife will any day now be questioned about what happened to millions of dollars that was supposed to go to the city and actually ended up in him and his wife’s pockets. Trump is NOT raciest and quit calling everybody raciest for stupid ass shit! Your program is a LIE and YOU are dividing this country NOT Trump!

9. lol … NYC is infested by rats! Pizza stealing rats..and pension stealing rats

10. Finally some media willing to tell the truth. These BEO's have abdicated representation of their constituents to appease WS. I am no fan of T.rUmP but his presidency has brought truth to light. Racism and oppression always bubbled under the surface and BEO's are useful tools for a race based benign neglect of our communities.

11. Corporate officials are only concerned with downtown development .or business district development.

12. The Real fake news. You believe he sleeps on kkk sheets. Look how shitty Baltimore is, and that was all achieved by Democrats. Everything you just talked about how your city is failing was done under Democratic rule. Good luck!

13. I dont care about opinions…Baltimore is finally getting noticed to be fixed..16 billion dollars..where did the $$$ go..The ppl want homes..jobs…food .healthcare ..To become self sufficient ..Children need good schools and education..This should not be about politics..This is about helping conditions..especially in the west side..jmo

14. I'm not a TRUMP supporter, but I agree with him on this one.

15. So…. Democrats are saying trump is racist for pointing out what everyone already knows. So what Democrats are really saying is that criticism of Elijah’s district is racist because they themselves have low expectations from the black leader. I can’t think of anything more covert racist. You’re not slick Democrats, and you’re going nowhere with this bullshit.

16. 3 minutes and 45 seconds in and started laughing at the out right lying. I truly wonder how far gone these people are to say things with no facts. I had just watched a video on YouTube called 'Trump calls Baltimore, crime and rodent infested. Uh…it is. When did the truth become unspeakable?' by Jericho Green. Watch that video instead of this.

17. I like how this channel looks at ALL sides of an issue. Unlike some channels, this channel realizes that the issues that face our nation are complex and multi-layered. It is refreshing to listen to critical and intelligent thought that does not rely on the lazy assumption that all of our cities' problems are caused by things as ambiguous as "racism" or "white supremacy".

18. Stop being victims; higher people to clean up the community; funny how "facts" are now considered racist; I live in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Its poor and cockroach infested. Its dirty, but not that bad. The Koreans here take care of their community and look to be thriving. Lots of businesses and great food, great culture. We're poor and yet we find ways to be happy and take care of the neighborhood. Good people here.

19. With all due respect, Cummings endorsed Hillary and denigrated Bernie – without ANY cause. And, there is something to the fact that Cummings has been a representative of Baltimore for decades, and things are just getting worse there. If Trump didn't say that, wouldn't most people think, "yeah, what's with that?"
    Cummins ain't that great!

20. Far and away the single best reporting on Baltimore, which suddenly is mentioned in the corporate national media because of some tweet by POTUS. This is the best.

21. Seems Trump’s tweets work, because he detracts from the policies being implemented today behind the scenes, which will impoverish ALL POOR communities further, but we are not talking about that… are we?! The Federal Reserve Interest rates cut, and the raising of the debt ceiling, plus 750 billion to the pentagon. These are the issues that should constitute the backdrop to this report by The “Real” News Network….PERIOD!!!

22. Pro. Brown articulated the best overview I have yet to hear on Pmurt's comment, reminds me of Hedges "sacrifice zones," and the failure of liberals to act in the best interests of citizens instead of corporations, a long standing problem in all the old industrial cities, as economic and political will shifted to white suburban America, and the urban apartheid began its criminalization of any form of African-American prosperity.

23. The best person to answer if Baltimore is a shithole or not is the resident of Baltimore itself. Many residents have been saying since the 1990's that Baltimore is a shithole infested with high crimes, violence, rats, trash and high unemploymt. It does not require Trump's reconfirmation tweets. You would think the Democraps and the city elected officials would take this opportunity to ask the federal government for help to improve the city, instead the corrupt politcians double down and defended the city. They make believe Baltimore is doing great. They hid and hijacked Trump's tweet and accused him of racism. And, insisted Baltimore has no serious crime, no poor and dangerous neighborhoods and no issues at all. Everything is hunkidori! Illegals at the borders need more help than the people of Baltimore. Elijah Cummings is ready to help the iIlegals that need shelters, food, healthcare and jobs. Baltimore residents don't need any help. I bet the residents of Baltimore disagreed aggressively. But, the residents have no voice. The corrupt politicians even decide on camera and news media whether Baltimore is a shithole or not. They ignore the residents or the statistics of high crimes. That's how bad it is!! All those funds budgeted for the city have dissapeared into the pockets of the corrupt politicians. If you continue to vote for the same politicians, you get the same results.

24. Trump is plenty smart. He's made himself and his rich White golfing buddies billions.
