wdmso, not everything trump says is true. but he did speak the truth when he called baltimore rat infested. it’s not that i believe everything he says, it’s that you disbelieve everything he says.

Here are all the cities ahead of Baltimore on the Orkin list.

Number of rats is a pretty stupid rubric for success, especially when "our intelligence agencies are running amok"

Chicago
Los Angeles
New York
Washington, DC
San Francisco
Detroit
Philadelphia
Cleveland, OH

but an obvious rubric if determining whether or not a place is rat infested. which is what trump
explicitly said. there are many non-rat reasons to
conclude that city is a failure

trump said it’s rat infested, and it is. I’m terribly sorry if you can’t process the fact that he got something right, snowflake.

Congratulations on their Top Ten finish, they must be proud

I disbelieved what Trump says be cause its not true.. not just because he said it. Most rationale people do the same

Like most rationale people they understand he literally wasn't criticizing Cummings over the amount of rats in Baltimore

it’s also the definition of responding to what was actually said, as opposed to hearing voices.

All y'all aint been to Bal'more. I have lived inside and just outside of Baltimore for about 11 years and spent numerous other times in and out of Baltimore, one of my favorite cities.

Baltimore is really effed up. Makes rough sections of Boston and Providence look downright lame.
