Donald Trump comes up with another Democrat, this time with the governor of Maryland. He threatens to postpone troops.

US President Donald Trump has indicated a possible posting of the National Guard to another stronghold of the Democrats. He wrote to Baltimore’s security forces, Trump wrote on Sunday in his online service Truth Social. He reacted to statements by the Democratic Governor of the State of Maryland, Wes Moore, who criticized the US President and invited to a visit to Baltimore.

If Moore helps in the fight against crime in Baltimore, “I will send the ‘troops’ as it happens in the nearby Washington and quickly remove the crime”Trump said.

The US President referred to the alleged successes in fighting crime in the capital Washington that DC had no murder there since he had sent the national guard to the city. “If this also becomes in Baltimore, then I will be happy to come and run through the streets with pride, also alongside the governor of Maryland failed in terms of fighting crime”he said. “Stop talking and get to work, Wes, then we can see each other on the street.”

The dispute between Trump and Moore had worsened in the past few days. On Sunday, the governor said in the broadcaster CNN that he invited the president to walk with him through the streets of Baltimore to “this blessed ignorance, this clichés and this panic meter from the 1980s” to counteract the Trump. “Hey Donald, we can get you a golf car if it makes things easier”added Moore.

Trump threw one of the governor “very bad” Balance in combating crime. Moore, on the other hand, pointed out that the murder rate in Maryland has dropped by more than 20 percent since taking office as governor.

The dispute between the two politicians has a history. For example, Trump had accused the democratic governor on his Network Truth that he had lied through the awarding of an order of war. Moore had claimed that he received the so -called bronze star during an assignment in Iraq from 2005 to 2006, an award for special services in battle.

In fact, Moore had only received the order in 2024. The Democrat then apologized for having already used the award and, in turn “President Bone Spur” called (“President of the heels spur”). Trump is said to have prevented a possible use in the Vietnam War by issuing a certificate for him. The diagnosis was allegedly on heel spur, an unpleasant growth of the bone tissue. Trump has been denying the allegations for a long time.

Already on Friday, Trump announced that he wants to extend the Federal Security Personal Security forces, which are already in Washington and Los Angeles, to the Democratic strongholds of New York and Chicago.
