President Donald Trump ripped into Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat, on Sunday, in a ‘fire and brimstone’ post on Truth Social.
In a recent speech, Moore touted what a safe city Baltimore is, and then sneered, “Donald Trump, if you are not willing to walk our communities, keep our name out of your mouth! If you are not willing to understand the pride and beauty of of this city and this community, keep our name out of your mouth!”
Moore wrote, “If President Trump were to walk our streets, stand with our people, and visit our community, he would see what I see: ππ§π π¨π ππ‘π π π«πππππ¬π ππ’ππ’ππ¬ π’π§ ππ‘π ππ§π’πππ ππππππ¬ π¨π ππ¦ππ«π’ππ.”

On Thursday, Moore taunted, “.@POTUS, I heard Baltimore was on your mind. We wanted to send you a formal invitation to join @MayorBMScott, @BaltimoreSAO, our local electeds, law enforcement, and community for a public safety walk next month. Whatever date works best for you! We hope you’ll come to see how we’ve built strong local partnerships and used data-backed solutions to deliver staggering drops in violent crime.”

President Trump fired back on Sunday. He wrote:
Governor Wes Moore of Maryland has asked, in a rather nasty and provocative tone, that I βwalk the streets of Marylandβ with him. I assume he is talking about out of control, crime ridden, Baltimore? As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a βwalk.β
Wes Mooreβs record on Crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other βBlue Statesβ are doing. But if Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the βtroops,β which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime. After only one week, there is NO CRIME AND NO MURDER IN DC!
When it is like that in Baltimore, I will proudly βwalk the streetsβ with the failing, because of Crime, Governor of Maryland.
P.S. Baltimore is ranked the 4th WORST CITY IN THE NATION IN CRIME & MURDER. Stop talking and get to work, Wes. Iβll then see you on the streets!!!
Also, I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge. I will now have to rethink that decision??? Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT
In a CNN interview on Saturday, Moore declared he would NOT be open to the National Guard being brought in to address crime in Maryland, and slammed the Trump administration for doing so in Washington, D.C.
I will not authorize the use of the Maryland National Guard for any mission that isnβt mission critical or mission aligned.
Full stop. pic.twitter.com/W0yiTl2jVi

Clearly trying to stir up a fight, Moore wrote Sunday afternoon, “Did Donald Trump, the President of the United States, lie about an injury to dodge the Vietnam draft?”

Former Republican congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik is blasting Moore:
Oh, and you also had a FEMA check denied after hundreds of residents rebuild after a flood.
