Trump Slams Wes Moore Over Baltimore Crime
*President Donald Trump is feuding with Maryland Governor Wes Moore. It all started when Moore invited Trump to walk through Baltimore and talk about public safety.
Trump fired back online, calling Moore’s tone “nasty and provocative.” He claimed Baltimore was one of the most dangerous cities in America.
Crime in Baltimore Is Actually Dropping
Despite Trump’s comments, crime in Baltimore is going down. Violent crime dropped 17% in 2025. Homicides are now at a 50-year low.
Moore says the city is making progress, with help from new state and federal crime-fighting funds.

Trump Threatens to Block Bridge Funding
Trump also threatened to pull back federal money for the Francis Scott Key Bridge. That bridge collapsed in 2024, killing six workers.
Trump claimed he gave Moore “a lot of money” for repairs. But Congress approved the funding, not Trump. President Biden signed the bill in 2024.
Bridge Is Key to Traffic and Jobs
The bridge carries over 30,000 vehicles a day. It’s a critical part of Maryland’s economy. Repairs are expected to cost up to $1.9 billion.
Both Republicans and Democrats support the rebuild. Experts say Trump cannot legally block that money by himself.
Trump Threatens to Send Troops Into Baltimore
Trump also said he might send federal troops into Baltimore to fight crime. He bragged that his military efforts ended crime in D.C. and L.A.
But crime stats don’t back up his claims. Moore says troops aren’t trained for city policing and called Trump’s threats dangerous.
Wes Moore Fires Back at Trump’s Claims
Moore didn’t hold back. He called Trump “President Bone Spurs” for dodging military service. He accused Trump of using fear to score political points.
Moore also reminded people that Maryland is investing over $50 million to support police and lower crime in Baltimore.
Trump Questions Moore’s Military Medal
Trump also suggested Moore lied about receiving a Bronze Star from the military. But Moore did earn it in 2024 after fixing an old paperwork mistake.
The medal honors his service in Afghanistan. Trump’s claim sparked outrage among veterans and Moore’s supporters.
This Feud Isn’t Just About Baltimore
This fight shows a bigger trend. Trump often attacks Democratic cities like New York and Chicago too.
He’s also used federal money as a weapon against his political enemies. Moore says that kind of behavior is “petty and partisan.”
Moore Accuses Trump of Playing Politics With Aid
Moore also pointed out that Trump denied flood relief to Maryland in July 2025. He said the decision was based on politics, not people’s needs.
Legal experts say Trump can’t block aid that was already approved by Congress. Any attempt to do so could end up in court.
Online Reactions Are Blasting Trump
Many people online are angry about Trump’s threats. They say he’s using revenge as a political tool.
“I think most Americans are getting tired of Trump’s mafioso style of governing. Come on Congress, do your job: Impeach, convict and remove him. The sooner, the better.”
“Very interesting. I had no idea that being vindictive was a criteria for getting into heaven … something DT seemed so concerned about just a few short days ago.”
“How much more does a sitting POTUS have to do to demonstrate, not only Partisan but personal retribution and malfeasant’s, threaten to withdraw funding for such a critical interstate highway’s bridge? If it is not a lack of ‘good character’ and a legal misdemeanor ground for impeachment, what is? Clearly the gOP House ‘majority’ will not see it that way!!”
Why This Trump Wes Moore Feud Matters
Governor Moore is a rising star in the Democratic Party. He’s Maryland’s first Black governor and a former Army officer.
This feud could shape national debates on crime, disaster relief, and how leaders use federal power. Moore says he’s focused on facts and solutions, not fear.
