Title: Yikes: Trump Boxes With Cummings Over Border Conditions

President Donald Trump took to Twitter this morning to chide Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) for shouting down acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan over conditions in detention camps during a hearing last week.
We’re doing our level best in a challenging —," McAleenan said before being cut off by Cummings, who went on a two-minute rant about border conditions.

"What does that mean? What does that mean when a child is sitting in their own feces, can’t take a shower? Come on, man," Cummings said to McAleenan. "None of us would have our children in that position. They are human beings."

"I get tired of folks saying, 'Oh, oh, they just beating up on the Border Patrol. Oh, they just beating up on Homeland Security.' What I am saying, is I want to concentrate on these children. And I want to make sure that they are OK," Cummings added. "We are the greatest country in the world. We are the ones that can go anywhere in the world and save people, make sure they have diapers, make sure they have toothbrushes, make sure they’re not laying around defecating in some silver paper."

"Come on. We’re better than that."

According to Trump, Cummings has been waging a war against Border Patrol but he needs to take a look in his own backyard. 
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......— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 27, 2019
....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— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 27, 2019

Trump followed up an hour later, asking why Cummings' district gets "so much money" when it's "the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States."
Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 27, 2019

Video of Baltimore, which sits in Cummings' district, made its way around social media, showing what the area is like.

Cummings responded to Trump's attack, saying the White House has failed to act on reducing prescription drug prices, despite making a promise to address the issue. The Congressman said skyrocketing drug prices are what families in Baltimore, and around the country, are facing.
Mr. President, I go home to my district daily. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors.

It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents.— Elijah E. Cummings (@RepCummings) July 27, 2019
Just yesterday, I held a hearing on the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs and the financial hardships that families across the nation, and in Baltimore, are facing.— Elijah E. Cummings (@RepCummings) July 27, 2019
Mr. President, we can address this together. Two years ago, I went to the White House to ask you to endorse my bill to let the government negotiate directly for lower drug prices.— Elijah E. Cummings (@RepCummings) July 27, 2019
You told me then that you supported the legislation and that you would work with me to make it happen. I took you at your word.https://t.co/bcfyQgXwm4— Elijah E. Cummings (@RepCummings) July 27, 2019


Poster Comment:

Trump went on the warpath, Cummings looked weak and suddenly wanted to talk about high prescription costs. LOL

"What I am saying, is I want to concentrate on these children. And I want to make sure that they are OK," Cummings added.

And what Trump is saying is that it's too bad he doesn't feel the same way about the children in his district in Baltimore.

Well, Cummings' district is actually a mix. It has some decent middle-class neighborhoods, some rather tony subdivisions for upper-class elite types and business people. Ben Carson's home is in Cummings' district, for instance.

So it would not be accurate to say that Cummings' district is some complete shithole because there are some pretty nice neighborhoods in there too. And Trump didn't say it was a shithole. However, there are some rather large areas in Cummings' district that look like a Third World country after a natural disaster. Buildings that look unmaintained for 50 years and lost their last tenants 20 years ago, now just neglected husks. A lot of it looks like Detroit did back before Detroit just starting tearing down neighborhoods of abandoned and ruined buildings and turning most of them back into farmland.

Correct. I did. And I did not say his entire district was a shithole. I was referring to that part of his district that is a third-world, rat- and rodent-infested shithole.

He's represented that district for 25 years and what has he done? Not a fucking thing.

Yet he has the balls to criticize ICE and Border Patrol because illegals don't have toothbrushes? Does he support changing our immigration laws? No. Did he support additional funding to care for these children at the border? No.

Sounds like another stellar champion of the poor and downtrodden: Maxine Waters.

But she keeps a nice home in another congressional district so she doesn't have to live around her constituents.

You'd think they'd wise up and elect someone from their district and who lives in their district and who would actually represent them, not the interests of Dem party bosses.

Only one way. Term limits.

The Dem party won't allow another Dem to run, and a Republican doesn't stand a chance.

More than one way obviously.

Vote out the Dem, elect a GOP. Dump the GOP in two years if a Dem serious about helping you shows up.

Maryland hasn't exactly suffered during the term(s) of its Republican governor who no one thought could be elected. And he's done well enough but he lacks the power to fix Baltimore.

Vote out the Dem, elect a GOP.

Maxine Waters won every election against various Republicans since 1990 by an average of 80% to 20%. (https://ballotpedia.org/Maxine_Waters)

Got another idea?
