Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl) August 24, 2025 WPRO had the full report on Trump’s remarks on Moore: President Donald Trump blasted Maryland Gov. Wes Moore on Sunday, accusing the Democrat of mismanaging crime in Baltimore and questioning his military record. In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump mocked Moore’s public invitation to “walk the streets” of Maryland with him, linking the challenge to Baltimore’s well-documented struggles with violence. “Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland has asked, in a rather nasty and provocative tone, that I ‘walk the streets of Maryland’ with him,” Trump wrote Sunday in a Truth Social rebuke. “I assume he is talking about out of control, crime ridden, Baltimore? As president, I would much prefer that he clean up this crime disaster before I go there for a ‘walk.’” Former Maryland 7th Congressional District GOP candidate Kim Klacik famously walked the streets of Baltimore during the 2020 Black Lives Matter era, starting the whole “walk the streets” political narratives. Trump pulled no punches on Moore’s record from his January 2023 swearing in, saying Baltimore is only getting worse. “Wes Moore’s record on crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other ‘blue states’ are doing,” Trump continued. “But if Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the ‘troops,’ which is being done in nearby D.C., and quickly clean up the crime.” In contrast to Moore’s record, Trump hailed the early returns on deploying the National Guard to D.C. “After only one week, there is no crime and no murder in D.C.!” Trump hailed. “When it is like that in Baltimore, I will proudly ‘walk the streets’ with the failing, because of crime, governor of Maryland. “P.S. Baltimore is ranked the 4th worst city in the nation in crime & murder. Stop talking and get to work, Wes. I’ll then see you on the streets!!!” Trump also noted the governor being ungrateful for past help from the Trump administration. “Also, I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge,” Trump concluded, finishing with his new trademark for Truth Social posts. “I will now have to rethink that decision??? Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT.” In a follow-up post, the president went further, raising doubts about Moore’s military credentials. “Did Wes Moore, the Governor of Maryland, lie about getting a Bronze Star?” Trump wrote on Truth Social. BOOM! Trump just ROASTED Wes Moore, the Governor of Maryland! “If Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the “troops,” which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime. After only one week, there is NO CRIME AND NO MURDER IN DC!”… pic.twitter.com/oAdCMWmVCU — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) August 24, 2025 There’s truth in Trump’s claim that Moore didn’t tell the whole truth about his Bronze Star medal. The New York Times shared more on the debacle: When Wes Moore ran for governor of Maryland in 2022, questions about whether he had claimed to have been awarded a Bronze Star for his Army service in Afghanistan hovered over his campaign. For reasons that remain unexplained, two television interviewers, Gwen Ifill and Stephen Colbert, had wrongly introduced him years earlier as a recipient of the award. Mr. Moore failed to correct them, even as he and his aides insisted he had never told anyone he had a Bronze Star. But at least once, Mr. Moore, now the state’s Democratic governor, did say he had received the award. He made the claim on an application for a prestigious White House fellowship in 2006, when he was 27 years old, according to a copy of the document that was obtained this week by The New York Times as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. “For my work,” he wrote, “the 82nd Airborne Division have awarded me the Bronze Star Medal and the Combat Action Badge.” However, when Mr. Moore submitted the application in January 2006, he had not been awarded either the Bronze Star or the Combat Action Badge. He was awarded the badge in May 2006 for an episode the previous December, but there is no record showing that he ever received a Bronze Star, an Army spokeswoman said. Mr. Moore’s old claim has come to light as his national profile has risen. Vice President Kamala Harris included him in the first round of candidates vetted to be her running mate — questions about the Bronze Star did not come up, Mr. Moore said, while the Harris campaign declined to comment. He also gave a prominent, well-received speech last week at his party’s convention. Moore has since replied to Trump with the following post on X: This is the reality of Wes Moore’s Maryland. Wes is nothing but a BSer. pic.twitter.com/mBbskNl6Ak — Carl Gottlieb (@c_cgottlieb) August 24, 2025
