President Donald Trump threatened to send troops to Baltimore as he and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) traded blowson social media Sunday over the president’s characterization of crime in the city and his deployment of the National Guard in Washington.
Trump said Baltimore is “out of control” and “crime ridden” in a Sunday morning Truth Social post in response to an invitation by Moore to join city officials to walk the streets and discuss public safety in September. Moore responded by touting progress in reducing crime in Baltimore, which is experiencing its lowest homicide rate in 50 years.
The two leaders have dueled over Maryland’s largest city in recent days as Trump’s intervention in D.C. escalates and he threatens to pursue similar crackdowns by deploying the National Guard in other cities. The Pentagon is planning a potential military deployment in Chicago for as soon as September, The Washington Post reported Saturday, after Trump criticized state and city officials there.
