A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines.

Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole.

Just imagine.

Also I know that the font is super tiny on mobile with my new blog theme. It’s behaving differently than the Safari Responsive Design view showed. I will hopefully figure that out soon.
