Baltimore mayor blasts 'childish' Trump on CNN: 'Our country is in turmoil under his leadership'

Baltimore mayor blasts ‘childish’ Trump in CNN scolding: ‘Our country is in turmoil under his leadership’

.

In a phone interview with CNN’s John Berman on Monday, Baltimore Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young tore into Trump for attacking his city.

“I would like to tell him, stop tweeting,” said Young. “No president in modern history of the office of the president has done any childish behavior like this president has exhibited. If he really wants to, he needs to send us federal assistance, not only to Baltimore but cities around this country, that are in the same situation that Baltimore is in.”


“He’s the most powerful man on the face of the Earth as president of the United States of America,” added Young. “This is below a president to do these kind of things. He should be uniting this country instead of racially dividing us. A president has never in my lifetime exhibited this type of behavior. He’s alienated our allies around the country. What else is he going to do?”


“The president claims he’s talking about the conditions in the city of Baltimore,” said Berman. “Let me ask you, you’ve been mayor of the city since May, has he reached out to you once since you’ve been mayor to talk about conditions?”


“No, he has never reached out,” said Young. “He had a pledge, that he was going to do infrastructure. We’re still waiting on that. We have an aging infrastructure in the city of Baltimore for unfunded mandate by the EPA for us to correct it, and we have to constantly raise water rates on the poor people of the city of Baltimore. We’re a poor city. Do we have, you know, problems? Yeah. We have problems with crime and everything else, just like any other major city, just like the city that his person — Mitch McConnell — represents has these problems.”


“Do you think these attacks are even really about your city, or about something else?” Berman pressed him.


“I think it’s about dividing this country,” said Young. “If you look, he attacked four minority women and didn’t even do the research to find out three were born here and one is a naturalized citizen now. Then he attacked one of the most powerful congressmen in the country, Elijah Cummings, who represented Baltimore as well. He has a pattern of attacking people of color. If you want to help us, help us. Don’t talk about us. Send the resources that we need to rebuild America. He’s talking about he wants to make America great again, put the money in the cities that need it the most. That’s where you can make America great again. What he’s doing is, he’s making America the laughingstock of the world … Our country is in turmoil under his leadership.”

Jerry Nadler on Trump's attacks on Elijah Cummings: "The president is as he usually is or often is, disgusting and racist. He makes these charges with no base at all. And they are designed to distract attention from the very serious allegations about his conduct."

John McCain's long-time aide and co-author responds to Rs in Congress re: Trump's RACIST Remarks

Seriously? Will it never be too much for Rs in Congress? He’s revolting and unAmerican, and he’s implicating all of you, by your silence, in his utter indecency, and the damage it’s doing to our society. Speak up or take those flag pins off your lapels. You’re no patriot.

Rep Schiff: Rep Cummings is a better man than Trump will ever be, & that's what threatens potus

Rep Cummings is the conscience of our caucus.

When we need moral clarity, he provides it.

When we need direction, he is our guiding light.

He’s a better man than Trump will ever be, and that’s what threatens the President.

Cummings Responds

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.
