Trump seems to make fun of the burglary at Elijah Cummings | American News

Donald Trump shone on Friday the burglary of the home of Elijah Cummings, a congressman from Maryland, Baltimore, the same day the president had attacked him in a racist manner.

Cummings' home in Baltimore was robbed early Saturday, a few hours before Trump told Fox News that Cummings was a "brutal tyrant" and that Baltimore was a "disgusting mess, infested with rats and rodents."

Baltimore police on Friday released an incident report revealing the burglary. Asset replied on Twitter: "Really bad news! Elie Cummings' home in Baltimore was stolen. Pity!"

This tweet prompted the quick condemnation of many people, including the former UN ambbadador, Nikki Haley, who has been a firm supporter of Trump. Trump appointed Haley to the post of UN, a position she left in October. She replied to Trump's tweet by writing "it's so useless" with an emoji eyeroll.

One of Trump's fiercest defensemen then jumped into the fray. Kellyanne Conway, a White House advisor, retweeted Haley's message and said her message was useless.

Haley was joined by other Republicans to criticize Trump's response, including Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who said Trump's tweet was "way below the desk you're occupying."

"It's childish, and yet it's really getting older," tweeted Kinzinger, who has criticized Trump once.

Cummings did not respond to Trump's tweet. But in a statement about burglary, he said that he had made the intruder scare away shouting and screaming.

"Pity!" Is one of the most used rhetoric flourishes of Trump. He used this phrase in more than 60 tweets, mostly sarcastically.

Before becoming president, Trump frequently used "Damage!" To end the tweets in which he was criticizing the media or personalities, before saying that they had poor ratings or low subscribers. The targets of Trump's anger were: the factor O & # 39; Reilly, the Arsenio room Show, New York Magazine (two times), Late at night with seth myersTV reporter Lawrence O Donnell, view and MSNBC Joe in the morning.

Sometimes, the meaning of "Too bad!" Is opaque, for example when the president spoke of a lawsuit against his now-abandoned program of Trump University, following numerous lawsuits filed against him. by students who said they did not keep their promises. The debacle ended with a court ordering Trump to pay a settlement of $ 25 million.

"The ONLY disadvantage of the conquest of the presidency is that I have not had time to go through a long trial but win over Trump U. Too bad!

On occasion, Trump unfolded the sentence with apparent sincerity.

In July 2013In response to a tweet calling Trump a "very handsome man," the current president replied, "I know, but enemies and losers never give me credit! Pity."
