Trump politicizing law enforcement in Baltimore does nothing to improve public safety. We've boosted the number of FBI, DEA and ATF agents in Baltimore and always welcome more support in coordination with local law enforcement. Trump’s bloviating and theatrics are a distraction. Full statement:

I'm so bummed they bought One Medical, where I've been a patient for 10 years+. I have the best doctor who I refuse to quit since it took me ages to find her. I bring her flowers and we laugh our butts off during my appointments, and she gives most excellent care.
