Trump: $16 Billion to Baltimore Was ‘Stolen or Wasted, Ask Elijah Cummings Where it Went’





Here is part of the reason.


 Elijah Cummings was a crook along with the last 3 Mayors and here's the kicker...





That's right folks! And I bet she wins in a landslide. Why? Because the people who live in Bullethead's rat invested district are assholes. They bitch about rats then elect them to run the city. You would think after all these years the voters in his district would say...'You know what we've been voting Democrat all this time and it's gotten us nowhere. Maybe we should vote Republican'?



Not a f-ing chance!

The federal government has sent billions of dollars to Baltimore in recent years but the money has been either “stolen or wasted,” President Donald Trump said.


Writing on Twitter, Trump wrote: “Baltimore’s numbers are the worst in the United States on Crime and the Economy. Billions of dollars have been pumped in over the years, but to no avail. The money was stolen or wasted.”


“Ask Elijah Cummings where it went. He should investigate himself with his Oversight Committee!” Trump added, referring to the Democratic Maryland representative, who is chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

Lynne Patton, regional administrator for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, said that $16 billion in grants was given to Cummings’s district alone in 2018.

Hitting back after former Republican National Committee head Michael Steele, Baltimore Mayor Bernard Young, and activist Al Sharpton accused Trump of not spending properly on improving the city, Patton said during an appearance on Fox News that the administration has tried investing in Baltimore.

“I want to say this expressly to Mayor Young and Michael Steele and Al Sharpton, who today called out the president and said let President Trump put his money where his mouth is. Well, boys and girls, I have a message for you, President Trump has given $16 billion in 2018 alone to Elijah Cummings’s district in federal grants,” she said.

Cummings’ district, the 7th Congressional District, includes portions of Maryland outside Baltimore. It received slightly under $15.7 billion grants and other assistance from the federal government in fiscal year 2018, according to government data analyzed by Newsweek.

“We have given more money in homeless funds to Baltimore than the last administration. We have given more money in community development grants than the last administration to Baltimore. My question to you guys is this, what are you actually doing with the money so that it benefits residents in the community for once instead of deep-pocket crooked politicians?” Patton added.
