I wonder what tRump is doing to help these places. 12 of the Worst Places to Live in the U.S.

1. I'm sure Ben Carson is going to get right on this

3. The US is a sick country, not well, and Trump will simply pour fuel on the disasters. n/t

5. I protest this singling out of St. Louis MO. When you actually tally the entire population and

compare the full population totals w/ the actual crime stats, the numbers are misleading. St. Louis City and St. Louis county are two huge metro areas by themselves, w/ over 100 different cities in St. Louis County alone.

I guarantee you that the video harping about St. Louis crime is nothing like it in the real world.

This is a often repeated mistake, and is caused by a numbers game...

6. Thanks for pointing this out! I've been to St. Louis a number of times. It's a huge place. n/t

10. Exactly !!!! To be more specific....

..... sometime around the turn of the 19th century, st. Louis City "seceded" from St. Louis County and is locked into its borders as they existed at that time and with no financial cost or revenue sharing with the county. As the area grows and expands the city proper empties and decays.

12. the whole video seems to play fast and loose with click bait type stats/claims.

7. brought to USA + regean tax cuts and the GOP congress.

8. I remember Trump pledging to make our 'ghettoes' safe

I do think he used the word ghetto. It was a month or 2 after he pointed out "my African American" at a campaign rally.

He just did all of this to make sure there was no rebellion against him in these communities.

9. He used the term "slums" with emphasis, to describe the property

of people in Scotland who didn't want him to grab their land for his golf resort developments. I saw another piece on this last night, and the resentment remains strong as evident.

11. "Mission Accomplished"

?????????????......

13. I don't like this guy's tone or attitude

And what, they couldn't find an American?

14. Regardless of tone...

that's how we're viewed in much of the world and in much of our own this country. Thanks to our love of lassez faire capitalism, we're a mix of the very best of the first world and parts that rival the squaller of third world slums. We're far more like Brazil than our fully industrialized counterparts...Canada, western Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia...
