Trump Claimed He Would ‘Fix’ Baltimore In 2015

July 29, 2019 · 11:35 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Four years ago, in the aftermath of rioting in Baltimore, Donald Trump criticized then-President Obama for not doing enough to address problems in the city and claimed that ‘I would fix it fast!’ if he were president,” the Washington Post reports.

“Trump’s 2015 tweets have resurfaced in the wake of his derogatory tweets over the weekend aimed at the city of more than 600,000 and at Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD), whose district includes part of Baltimore.”
