美国总统川普痛批众议员康明斯代表的巴尔的摩选区是“鼠辈横行之地”后，《巴尔的摩太阳报》28日以社论回呛，“宁有几只老鼠，也别当一只大的”。欧新社

The Baltimore Sun responded on Saturday to President Donald Trump's comments calling its hometown a "rodent infested mess" where "no human being would want to live" in a scathing editorial titled, "Better to have a few rats than to be one."

Earlier Saturday, Trump went after Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., in a series of tweets for the veteran congressman'scriticisms of the administration's treatment of migrants on the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump called Cummings a "brutal bully" and said the conditions in his legislative district, which includes much of Baltimore city, are "FAR WORSE and more dangerous" than the those on the southern border.

Misspelling the lawmaker's name, Trump said, "Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place."

"No human being would want to live there," he added.

“Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA.....

In its editorial, which ran in the paper's Sunday print edition, the Sun responded to the president by calling him, "the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are 'good people' among murderous neo-Nazis."

The Sun said Trump is "stll not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity.

"Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one."

美国总统川普痛批非裔联邦众议员康明斯代表的巴尔的摩选区是“鼠辈横行之地”后，《巴尔的摩太阳报》28日以社论回呛，“宁有几只老鼠，也别当一只大的老鼠（ Better to have a few rats than to be one）”。

太阳报这篇社论引发全球关注，预期可能打破点阅和订报率，凸显出巴尔的摩的反击力道，指控川普用“最情绪化和具偏见的说法”，攻击出身自主要是黑人选区的民主党非裔议员。

在休假日还跑进办公室写社论的太阳报主笔詹森受访表示：“我们经常嘲笑川普行事，但我想，骂美国总统是只老鼠或有害动物⋯⋯是进入新境界。不过，我写这篇社论时的直觉是，这是无可避免的结论。”

这篇社论将川普批康明斯和马里兰州第七选区，以及他的政治分化策略连结起来。文中特别指出康明斯谴责川普边境政策、康明斯身为众院监督改革委员会主席在调查政府行政时扮演的领导角色，以及康明斯称川普是种族主义者，因为川普推文叫四名民主党籍少数族裔女众议员回到“犯罪猖獗”的出生地。

太阳报主笔室写道，康明斯对川普而言一直是“芒刺在背”，川普认为攻击非裔美籍国会议员是不错的政治手段，既温暖了爱他的白人至上主义者，又能让许多不爱他的忧思之士气得尖叫。

该报紧接着指出川普略而不提、第七选区的种种面向：年薪中位数高于平均，知名的约翰霍普金斯医院和协助身障和退休人士的社会安全局均设于此，还有1812年战争英军进犯巴尔的摩港口麦亨利要塞被击退的“辉煌历史”。

太阳报同时向川普传达了一个重要讯息：第七选区也是川普的责任。美国总统比任何一位国会议员拥有更大的权力能改变这个城市。

这篇社论转而检视川普的过往纪录，做出最强有力的抨击：主笔室“要告诉入主椭圆形办公室的最不诚实男人、嘲讽战争英雄的人、对女性伸咸猪手的人、多次破产的商人、被俄罗斯总统普亭利用的傻瓜，以及坚称残忍新纳粹人士中有‘好人’的人，他还没能愚弄大部分美国人，误信他能丝毫胜任现职”。
