President-elect Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to voice his opinion about nearly everything and everyone, including civil rights leaders and Golden Globe-winning actresses. So how does Donald Trump feel about the “Old Line State,” which borders his future digs?
Here are 10 @realDonaldTrump tweets about Maryland.
After a campaign stop at Stephen Decatur High School on Maryland’s Eastern Shore last year, Trump tweeted his thanks to Marylanders ahead of the Republican primary.
Thank you Maryland- what a great way to conclude the day! Will be back soon. #Trump2016 https://t.co/dNeTdMENdV pic.twitter.com/JbJYYpEsmo

On April 26, 2016, he won Maryland’s Republican primary…

But before Trump campaigned in Maryland, he voiced his opinion about the state’s politicians.
Politician @SenatorCardin didn’t like that I said Baltimore needs jobs & spirit. It’s politicians like Cardin that have destroyed Baltimore.

Criticism continued during the campaign.
I see where Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake of Baltimore is pushing Crooked hard. Look at the job she has done in Baltimore. She is a joke!

He even took a jab at Sen. John McCain’s training at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. (In reality, McCain graduated 790th out of 795 students in his class, according to a U.S. News & World Report article.)
.@SenJohnMcCain should be defeated in the primaries. Graduated last in his class at Annapolis–dummy!

And Trump didn’t hold back from commenting on the 2015 Baltimore riots, which were in response to the death of Freddie Gray.
Our great African American President hasn’t exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!

Our country has to come together. We have to start working with, and really liking, each other. The whole world is watching Baltimore.

Billions of dollars spent on Baltimore and it’s still a total mess. Leadership is needed, not dollars. Our whole country is going to hell!

But the soon-to-be 45th president of the United States remained confident in his ability to help Maryland.
“@Vanderpunked: Can we drop @realDonaldTrump off in the middle of #Baltimore so he can show Obama how it’s done?” I would fix it fast!
