When Trump called out Baltimore, he shined a massive light on the failed Democrat policies of the inner city. The Democrat’s first response was ”How dare you this is a beautifully diverse city”, except nobody was buying that, not even the citizens of Baltimore. The city has become a dumping ground for trash, drug dealing is rampant and it's become infested with rodents.
This inevitable brought up questions. The first being was this a lack of federal funding? The city of Baltimore got $15 billion in federal funds this year. Which begs the question where did the money go? It's been reported most of the money cannot be accounted for.
There are only two possibilities of what happened to these funds, neither of them is good. It's either blatant mismanagement or corruption, I’m guessing it’s the latter.
The Democrats and the media are going to have a hard time blaming this on republicans or racism. Since this is a solid Democrat-run city, governed almost exclusively by black politicians for well over 50 years.
The optics on this are atrocious for Democrats and may cost them some inner-city votes in the elections. If Trump can even get 10% of the black population, it would be disastrous for Democrats.
