Baltimore Mayor Jack Young (D) wants President Donald Trump to cancel his plans to visit the city’s Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine on Memorial Day, citing health concerns stemming from the Chinese coronavirus and the price tag attached to a presidential visit.
“I wish that the President, as our nation’s leader, would set a positive example and not travel during this holiday weekend,” Young said, according to CBS Baltimore. “I would hope that the President would change his mind and decide to remain at home. If he decides, however, to move forward with his scheduled trip to Baltimore we will, of course, be prepared for his visit.”
Young also said the city “can’t afford to shoulder” the cost of the president’s visit as it loses $20 million monthly.
This week, the White House announced President Trump and first lady Melania Trump will travel to Baltimore Monday.
“The City of Baltimore remains under a Stay at Home order that was put in place to help safeguard our residents from the dangers associated with COVID-19,” the president said in a statement. “We have worked closely with our health professionals to educate the public about the benefits of social distancing and staying home, unless leaving for an essential reason, like visiting a doctor or picking up groceries.”
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R), a frequent critic of the Trump administration, said he will not meet with the president and instead plans to celebrate his birthday with family.

Dear Mayor,
GFY.
Love,
President Trump
Is this akin to the Duchy of Grand Fenwick declaring war?
Gee, that’s too bad. I heard Trump already got his directions to Baltimore:
Go north until he smells it, then go west until he steps in it.
Dear Mayor,
GFY.
Love,
President Trump
Notice that the governor says that he “wants“ and that he does not say “order” because he cannot do anything. He has no power to stop him and President Trump is going to show up regardless.

Rats. Wonder if he’d like a little cheese with that whine?

Dear Mayor,
BAKE THE CAKE
Probably still true a man could write a suicide note to his family, and walk unarmed into Baltimore on Saturday night starting with MLK Blvd. and turning on Rosa Parks Avenue to Medgar Evers Way. RIP.
LOL! It is not necessary to discourage anyone from visiting Baltimore. Who in their right mind wishes to do so?!
sounds like racism to me
Runner up prize: Two nights in Baltimore.
First prize: One night in Baltimore.
Fort McHenry is on a beautiful point of land. It is well worth a visit.
“MLK Blvd. and turning on Rosa Parks Avenue to Medgar Evers Way. RIP.“
Forcing Americans cities to change the names to black activists just lets the tourists know where no to go just be reading a map. “It is on Martin Luther King Road? No way that we are going there.”

POST OF THE DAY!
The streets where I used to park my car to go to Wayne State University in Detroit in the late 1960s are now renamed after Motown stars. Amazing.
Nothing speaks to Progressive mismanagement like a city such as Baltimore being unable to foot the bill for a brief Presidential visit.
Bulletimore is a shithole.
