President Trump has once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to truth and accountability, delivering a powerful and justified rebuttal to Maryland’s far-left Governor, Wes Moore. After Moore issued a provocative and disrespectful challenge for the President to “walk our streets,” Trump did not hesitate to obliterate the governor’s hollow rhetoric with a stark dose of reality regarding the dire state of Baltimore.
In a characteristically nasty and misguided tone, Governor Moore attempted to deflect from his own abysmal record on crime by attacking the President. Moore exclaimed, “Donald Trump, if you are not willing to walk our communities, keep our name out of your mouth! If you actually were willing to walk our streets and not just talk about us from the Oval Office, you would see what we see: one of the greatest cities in the United States of America.” This narrative, eagerly amplified by a sycophantic liberal media, is a complete fabrication designed to shield a failed administration from scrutiny.
If President Trump were to walk our streets, stand with our people, and visit our community, he would see what I see: 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚. pic.twitter.com/yipidTBTLK

President Trump, in his definitive response, exposed the sheer absurdity of Moore’s claim, correctly identifying Baltimore as an “out of control, crime ridden” city. The President wrote, “As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a ‘walk.’ Wes Moore’s record on Crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other ‘Blue States’ are doing.”
Trump further showcased his strong leadership by offering the same decisive federal assistance that has already eradicated crime in Washington D.C., stating, “I will send in the ‘troops,’ which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime. After only one week, there is NO CRIME AND NO MURDER IN DC!”
Furthermore, President Trump courageously raised a critical and uncomfortable question the liberal media has desperately tried to bury: the integrity of Governor Moore’s military service record. Trump pointedly asked, “Did Wes Moore, the Governor of Maryland, lie about getting a Bronze Star?” This refers to the confirmed revelation that Moore falsely claimed the valor award on a White House fellowship application, an “honest mistake” excuse that insults the service of every genuine recipient of the medal. This is a question of character and honesty that speaks directly to Moore’s fitness for office, a topic the protective Democratic establishment and their media allies refuse to touch, reminiscent of their past treatment of figures like John Kerry.
