President Donald Trump and Maryland Governor Wes Moore have ignited a war of words after the president revealed he might deploy the National Guard to several major cities across the country—including Baltimore—in a sweeping crime crackdown similar to what he enacted in Washington, D.C.
On Sunday morning, Trump responded to a "rather nasty and provocative" question from Moore when he asked if Trump would "walk the streets of Maryland" with him.
Trump proceeded to criticize Moore's job as governor, saying his "record on Crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other 'Blue States' are doing."
He also suggested he might pull the funds given to Maryland to fix the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed after an errant ship struck it in March 2024.
