Trump asks why 'Crazy Bernie' wasn't called a racist for comparing Baltimore to a 'third world country' while he has been roasted for his 'rat-infested mess' tweets

President Trump turned his ire to Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Monday as he opened up a third front in his Baltimore battle.
'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!' he charged.
Trump further claimed that he'd be happy to assist leaders of the urban area clean the city up, if they requested his assistance. 'The fact is, Baltimore can be brought back, maybe 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! he tweeted.
Sanders had in 2015 compared Baltimore to a third world country. Yet, he criticized Trump in a Sunday morning interview for zeroing in on a majority-black district represented by a respected African-America congressman.
But the sitting president also had 2015 comments that were coming back to haunt him on Monday. He'd blamed then-President Barack Obama for crime in Maryland's capital city and said the nation's leader should go to Baltimore and calm racial tensions.
EDITOR’S NOTE: While taking a tour of East Baltimore a year ago, former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh said:
“What the hell? We should just take all this shit down. Woah, you can smell the rats. Whew, Jesus. Oh my God, you can smell the dead animals.”
Now, according to the Democrats, that was downright racist. Oops, it could not have been because Pugh is black.
