MAGA Fans Clean 12 Tons of Trash From Baltimore, Liberals Outraged

Fact checked
Hundreds of MAGA supporters participated in a cleanup effort earlier this week in West Baltimore, inspired by President Trump's tweets.

Hundreds of MAGA supporters participated in a massive cleanup effort earlier this week in West Baltimore, inspired by President Trump’s tweets, led by a conservative activist who organized the event in Rep. Elijah Cummings’ neglected district.

Who could have guessed? The left got mad that Trump supporters would dare to visit Baltimore and help improve the situation, claiming that it “reinforces the tired image” that “poor people” in Baltimore can’t “take care of their own neighborhoods.”

Conservative activist Scott Presler was quick to reply:

“I can’t even imagine what would cause a person to be mad at us for helping to clean up Baltimore.

Instead of criticizing us, how about putting on some gloves to pick up trash”

According to WBAL-TV Baltimore, 300 volunteers on Aug. 5 took to the streets of northwest Baltimore, cleaning up trash from alleyways in an “Americans Helping Americans” event organized by conservative activist Scott Presler.

Starting at 7 am at the intersection of North Fulton Avenue and Westwood Avenue (highest per capita homicide rate in the country), hundreds gathered to lend a hand in “Making Baltimore Great Again.” About 12 hours later, volunteers collected more than 12 tons of trash, almost 1 ton per hour, in a massive cleanup effort in hopes to revive the dying city.

Many of the volunteers were from other states, such as Ohio, and North Carolina, and most of them traveled from abroad because they heard about the cleanup effort on Presler’s social media channels.

“I never intended it to turn into a national event. It was never supposed to be this big,” Presler told The Epoch Times.

Presler, who said he is proud to wear the MAGA hat, is a grassroots right-wing activist who has several hundred thousand followers on social media.

“I’m a big Trump supporter, but I wanted people to know that’s not the reason we’re coming here today. This is not a pro-Trump rally, and this is not an anti-Rep. Cummings rally,” Presler said. “This is truly the community coming together.”

Some Baltimoreans were thankful for the cleanup effort since they said the city had neglected their neighborhoods for decades.

ZeroHedge report: Presler spoke with community members about the deteriorating city. He said, “the people of Baltimore love their country and love their city and ‘they’re proud to live there,” but the government isn’t doing anything to resolve the trash problem.

He put out a tweet on July 28 to his followers on Twitter, asking for help in the cleanup effort. By the 29th, he had nearly 100 volunteers from across the country.

Presler kept the details of the cleanup effort secret, for fear that the far-left Antifa group might show up and cause trouble.

He said there were no incidents during the event itself, apart from the fact that the cleanup team needed more dumpsters.

Presler said city officials wouldn’t grant him a permit to store dumpsters on the street.

“For 3 days, we respectfully called the office asking for an update,” he said in an Aug. 7 tweet. “The city of Baltimore never approved the permits, so we did it, anyway.”

Presler said a second cleanup effort in the city could be imminent and already has 30 volunteers. People have been reaching out to him in deindustrialized areas across the country who want to start similar efforts.

While President Trump blames the demise of Baltimore on Democrats, which certainly can be the case, one must understand by the late 1950s, Baltimore was nearly 1 million strong in population. By 2019, the population stood at 600,000, which is a 33% decline in six decades. The breakdown started not because of a political party, but rather corporate elitists who decided to shift labor and resources out of the industrial hub to regions around the world where it was cheaper to manufacture goods. Then, of course, the Democrats jumped on board and have controlled City Hall ever since. Their economic and social policies were no match for the rapid decay that consumed vast swaths of the city. In reality, Democrat or Republican, no policy whatsoever could have thwarted Baltimore’s descent into chaos, which is the same decay that is seen across many deindustrialized cities across America.

President Trump’s constant government propaganda of “the greatest economy ever” and his claim that he’s done more for African Americans than any other president is merely a farce. To see if his debt-fueled tax cuts and constant stock market pumping have lifted all tides, come to Baltimore and pick up some trash. You’ll break out of the MAGA matrix and see America for what it is: a dying nation.

Baltimore, like many other cities across the country, cannot be fixed in a presidential term, the effort of revival could take decades.

  1. President Trump HAS done more for blacks than any other president; he has a lifetime of helping blacks. There is a video on You Tube of Jesse Jackson thanking Donald Trump for “a lifetime of service to the black community.” He has created laws which help blacks when they are released from prison and he has stopped the incarceration of blacks who should never be in prison. Yet the author doesn’t think this is helping blacks? Baxter Dmitry – you are NOT following journalistic ethics with your last few sentences in this article. You don’t get to express your OPINIONS when reporting, you are supposed to only report the facts. Also, you have NO idea what you are talking about. I’ve watched Donald Trump since 1970s when he first became famous for being a self-made billionaire. I’m old enough to remember him and all the things he did during his entire adulthood. YOU, however, have No f’in idea what this man has accomplished and you need to keep your mouth shut so you don’t look like a moron. Oh wait, too late.

  2. How telling; a resident says about the trash strewn alley “the gummint won’t do anything about it”. Why don’t YOU get off you lazy fat black ass and do something about it? Maybe don’t litter in the first place. In a week it will be full of trash again.

  3. Great work! Thanks for writing this amazing article about amazing people. I am even going to overlook the errant opinions of the final paragraphs. America is beautiful!

  4. I suggest that the author of this highly predictable drivel learn a thing or two about economics BEFORE offering up his hackneyed, distorted and what’s clearly uninformed perspectives on important matters. Not unlike most blithering nincumpoops, it appears Mr Dmitry has presumed to carve out for himself a position of higher moral authority, and as such entitles him to spew idiocy and partisan claptrap with reckless abandon. No doubt he’ll be receiving a goodly amount of pats-on-the-back from the cretins there within his echo chamber. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/837176d1f7aa3e2740dfde85867a2cb7b533cc5439e38043e6448ac702f0e221.jpg

    • What a stupid comment! Several hundred people went out on their to clean up sections of Baltimore, something that corrupt administration of Baltimore and their toadies in the press wouldn’t do. They should be commended. On the other hand we might wonder why the local residents didn’t do the same thing.
