Source: Washington Post
Just weeks after lambasting Baltimore as a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess, President Trump will visit the Maryland city to huddle with congressional Republicans a gathering that could draw local protests and reignite an ugly feud between the White House and the black-majority locality.
The White House confirmed Sunday that Trump would address House Republicans at their biennial retreat this Thursday. Republican lawmakers and aides who chose the city for their three-day gathering before Trump decried it as the Worst in the USA werent sure the president would want to attend.
Trumps attendance could elate GOP lawmakers still licking their wounds from last falls midterm shellacking by the Democrats, who took the House majority. But it could also spark protests from residents and local leaders who are still simmering over Trumps attacks on their city and dont want him there.
Trumps offensive on Baltimore started in late July, when he took to Twitter to accuse Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), the House Oversight Committee chairman, of being a brutal bully. Cummingss panel has unearthed deficiencies in the administration, including shortfalls in the security-clearance process at the White House and concerns about Trumps decision to give his son-in-law Jared Kushner access to the nations top secrets.
