Trump says he could 'rethink' Baltimore bridge funds after fight with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore

President Donald Trump threatened to "rethink" funds the federal government sent Baltimore to repair a massive bridge that collapsed last year, making the comments after Maryland Gov. Wes Moore told him to visit the city or "keep our name out of your mouth."
"I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge. I will now have to rethink that decision???" Trump wrote at the end of a post on Truth Social calling Baltimore "out of control" and "crime ridden." He also threatened to send the military into the city to "clean up" crime like his ongoing deployment of National Guard troops to Washington.
The pair have fought in recent days over Trump's characterizations of Baltimore as overrun by crime and Moore's criticism of the police and military crackdown on Washington. In an Aug. 21 letter, Moore invited Trump to attend a Baltimore "public safety walk" in September to "discuss strategies for effective public safety policy."
"Donald Trump, if you are not willing to walk our communities, keep our name out of your mouth," he said at an event that day.

"He" didn't give MD a damn thing. That ship collision happened in 2024 and the funding was directed by Biden and provided by Congress.
This paragraph at the VERY END of the article should have been at the top for a "fact check" -

(3,829 posts)His base will believe not only that the funds were paid out during his administration, but also that the money came from Shitler himself. If he says it and Fox repeats it, it must be true. Could half the country truly be this stupid??

(2,855 posts)... give a happy rat's ass about public safety. He's still the same vindictive bully he was when he told Charlie Rose 33 years ago how much he loved "getting even" with those who had the temerity to disagree with him. Revenge and retribution are two of his favorite words. And he has the best words. Said so himself, so it must be true, right?
Trump is a lying sack of shit, and he'll never, ever change. So keep a bottle of champagne chilled for the day Pox News tearfully reports his demise, and we'll cheerfully celebrate!
