House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings reportedly invited President Trump to visit Baltimore amid ongoing fallout over Trump’s criticism of the Maryland Democrat and his characterization of Cummings’s hometown.
“We are a great community,” Cummings said Saturday at the opening of a new public park in what had previously been a vacant lot, according to The Associated Press.
“Come to Baltimore. Do not just criticize us, but come to Baltimore and I promise you, you will be welcomed,” he added.
Cummings did not initially mention Trump by name in his remarks, but when asked by reporters if his invitation extended to the president, he responded,

Imagine the difference it would have made if Kennedy had never gone to Dallas to ride around in the streets with Texas politicians.

An armored limo straight to the Inner Harbor, then straight to Federal Hill, no stops in between. Under no circumstances would he be permitted to go down this street, and that street, and that street over there....

Wow! It only took 18 billion $$ to turn a vacant lot into a park! Things are looking up in Baltimore!

Our country would be better served if President Trump sent teams of federal auditors and IRS agents to find our where several billion in aid money went? It certainly did not go to reviving this crime ridden, dying city.
The arrival date of these auditors would have to be kept secret to keep Democrat officials through out the city from shredding documents revealing double and triple billing, the hundreds if not thousands of no-show jobs and purchases of hundreds of worthless properties owned by the families of these Dems at obscenely inflated prices.

The article does not provide the name of the park or its location, so it must be a postage stamp with a bench. It will be interesting to see if anyone, anywhere accepts an invitation to visit Baltimore. Elijah turned down invite last week from Ben Carson.

As President, I would jump on this "invitation". I would say, "I'm on my way, Mr. Cummings. Thanks for the invite. Let's go see the West End, Orangeville, Fairfield, Dundalk Cityside, and Greenmount East. Lets drive down Monument Street and let us visit Madison-Eastend! Yeah! You ride with me while the media takes photos of you finally touring your own crappy city and seeing it's problems first hand, Mr. Cummings, you dumb ass!"

And the announcement was made, per the article, that Cummings would no longer seek impeachment at this time. Could it be that, having been called out by Trump for his dereliction of duty, he is a bit reticent to spar with him again. One things he has in common with the polar bear hunters and flash mob looters------he is a coward.

Choosing associations is always important. Does the President really want to ride around with a man that is corrupt, and has used his position to wrongly impeach the President?

Cummings wouldn't visit with Dr. Ben Carson.
Trump was not invited specifically. And without armed escorts, visiting Balmer is a dangerous mission.

Cummings needs to visit Baltimore. Maybe Cummings should go with the President to visit the southern border and apologize to Border Patrol and Homeland Security for opening up his big yapper about our border crisis.

I hope the president visits Baltimore, like he would any major US city that had been ravaged by disaster, natural or democrat-caused. That said, I remember as a Texan living in Northern Virginia before it went Blue, the feeling of oppressive dread in crossing the Potomac into Maryland. I'm glad I went but it was similar to the feeling decades ago when our C-130 pilot announced "Feet dry," as we crossed over the coast of Viet Nam from the South China Sea.

The ACLU is calling out Trump saying that it's unfair to blame rats for Baltimore's problems.

Elijah, you go there first, and clean it up, then you get Trump to come.
Go find the $16 BILLION from last year FIRST.....
Then the rats, clean up the crack houses, cut the weeds, haul off the Trash....THEN as the President of the US to see how good a job YOU have done turning around YOUR district.

Be careful what you ask for. PDT is the professional negotiator. He will ask lots of questions. Where was the money used? My auditors are here NOW to audit the books. Why is this neighborhood like this? What have you contributed to Baltimore?
I imagine meeting some of the locals at a community center. PDT saying 'What has this jerk done for Baltimore? Where do you think the federal money has gone to? Are you better off now than you were in 2016? I'm donating $500 of my money for painting this building. Are there any skilled painters in the room who would like to mentor the younger ones? When you clean up (vacant area), I'll find some money for the PDT Vocational High School.

Misleading headline. He invited everyone and when asked if that includes Trump, he said yes.
