President Donald Trump lashed out at Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) — accusing the governor of taking a “nasty and provocative tone” in a letter inviting Trump to a public safety walk in Baltimore.

In a Sunday morning post to Truth Social, the president ripped Moore and attacked Baltimore as “crime ridden.”

“Governor Wes Moore of Maryland has asked, in a rather nasty and provocative tone, that I ‘walk the streets of Maryland’ with him,” Trump wrote. “I assume he is talking about out of control, crime ridden, Baltimore? 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 then threatened to deploy troops to Baltimore — as he has in Los Angeles and Washington, and is reported to be considering in Chicago as well.

“If Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the ‘troops,’ which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime,” Trump wrote. “After only one week, there is NO CRIME AND NO MURDER IN DC! When it is like that in Baltimore, I will proudly’“walk the streets’ with the failing, because of Crime, Governor of Maryland. P.S. Baltimore is ranked the 4th WORST CITY IN THE NATION IN CRIME & MURDER. Stop talking and get to work, Wes. I’ll then see you on the streets!!!”

Moore, in his letter dated Thursday, asked the president to join him next month at the public safety event.

“I would like to formally invite you to attend our next public safety walk in September, at a dateof your choosing,” Moore wrote. He added, In Maryland and in Baltimore, you will find people who share the same commitment to public safety that I have–and who want to be part of the solution, not the problem.”

The president went on to threaten federal funding for the rebuilding of the Francis Scott Key bridge — which collapsed in March 2024.

“I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge,” Trump said. (The funds were actually approved by Congress as part of a spending package during the final weeks of the Biden administration.) I will now have to rethink that decision???
