Donald Trump huffed and puffed online after Maryland Gov. Wes Moore challenged him to walk the streets of his state.

The 79-year-old president lashed out on Truth Social on Sunday at Moore’s “nasty and provocative” invitation three days earlier to join him for some light cardio in Baltimore, calling the city a “crime disaster” and threatening to deploy National Guard troops.

Trump was so angry about the public safety walk invitation that he suggested he may pull federal support for rebuilding the city’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed last year.

    I’ve always heard that Trump is charismatic but I really can’t see it, he talks like a dementia patient and behaves like a toddler.

      People thought Hitler was charismatic as well. I think the thing is that these kinds of people are only charismatic to a certain subset of people. Hateful narcissistic morons mostly, and then probably because they see themselves in them.

      If you’ve heard that Trump was charismatic, you’ve been listening to morons.

      Also, he’s a child rapist.

      He clearly is charismatic - the results speak for themselves. I’m with you though, even way back in 2015 all I could see is an obvious conman.

      I think he used to have dumbass sleazy used car salesman charisma at some point, it started to break down sometimes around 2017 and at this point he is drifting off of momentum and cult think.

      He isn’t charismatic … his money is … or at least the idea of him having actual money that he might (but never) share is charismatic

      He’s more of a vector for cerebral hemorrhage … every time any human gets close to him, people lose their minds and think he’s actually important
