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" -

After former President Joe Biden's administration released an initial $60 million in emergency funds in the days following the disaster, a stopgap spending bill passed in December authorized federal funds to cover the cost of the replacement.

22. Nah, that would leave too many relics

For his followers to use as tokens for his martyrdom.
I would like to see him passed through a wood chipper Fargo style. The pink mist would be nice and final.

24. Be careful what you wish for True Blue

the Repubs replacement for him, is guaranteed to be just as bad, and probably worse.......

[twodogsbarking]

5. In order to "rethink" you must first be able to, well, think. I think, I think.

Y'all think?

[BumRushDaShow]

6. I think. Ya think?

[twodogsbarking]

[ancianita]

7. Exactly. Threats from trump are mindless when he's got no mind to carry them out, only

cruel henchmen. They're all mindless idiots because they're cruel in word and deed.

10. Welching on payments is what drumpf does best

[BaronChocula]

11. "I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge."

It's not your money idiot. Slime molds have better knowledge of government than you do.

[2MuchNoise]

12. ASSHOLE!!!! He thinks it's his money. Good god almighty, I despise him!

He doesnt pay taxes. He means hes taken money from the people.

[elleng]

14. BULL SHIT!

[Hope22]

16. So sick of his back and forth!

The SCOTUS has handed us a dictator not just T but all to follow. They can steal, lie, claw back dedicated funds and ignore the courts and congress. We are cooked!!! How to live under this type of regime is the question? Dear Earl, can I please change my name? This is f-ing hopeless!!!

18. Every single Trump voter was someone who admired school bullies

If you didn't think they were the cool guys you wanted to be in with, then there would be no way you'd vote for Trump.

19. But what if the latest Trump made-in-China merch is scheduled for delivery at the port of Baltimore?

I'm so sick of this fucking idiot. And it's only 7 months in.

[Paladin]

20. The President of the United States---as 6th-grade schoolyard bully.

Remember when responsible adults lived in the White House?

[DeeDeeNY]

21. He knows he can get away with any lies, no matter how outrageous.

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??

[Hieronymus Phact]

26. This really is the root of our problems in this country.

all the rest is noise.

[GreenWave]

23. Using blue state money to fuck over blue states.

[C Moon]

25. A vengeful little jack, ain't he?

[GiqueCee]

27. Trump doesn't...

... 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!

28. So Far, Wes Has Kept Quiet

Because he has a bridge to rebuild. Between Maryland being disproportionally affected by the DOGE cuts, and now Tangerine using the NG in DC, it's "no more Mr. Nice Governor." I luv my Guv!

[republianmushroom]

29. What a joke.

trump think, same breath ? No.

[Prairie Gates]

30. According to six Supreme Court justices, Article II allows Trump to withhold

Congressionally passed funds to a state for spite because he's mad at a governor.

Tra la. The heroes of States' rights over here...
