President Trump's battle with Baltimore continues. He has now turned his ire to Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders and has slammed Bern for comparing the city of Baltimore to a "third world country."
"Crazy Bernie Sanders recently equated the City of Baltimore to a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY! Based on that statement, I assume that Bernie must now be labeled a Racist, just as a Republican would if he used that term and standard!" President Trump tweeted

....even to new heights of success and glory, but not with King Elijah and that crew. When the leaders of Baltimore want to see the City rise again, I am in a very beautiful oval shaped office waiting for your call!

Back in 2015 Bernie Sanders compared Baltimore to a third world country. Despite doing this he blasted President Trump on Sunday morning for targeting a majority-black district.
Many leading Democrats have taken their turn calling President Trump's tweets racist. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Elizabeth Warren have both called the tweets racist.
Baltimore Mayor Bernard Young called President Trump "a disappointment to the people of Baltimore, our country, and to the world."
