BALTIMORE — After President Donald Trump called Baltimore “so far gone,” the Maryland Democratic Party posted — and later deleted — a message with an expletive that called the president a “sex pest with daddy issues.”

Posted just after 11 a.m. Monday, the message on @MDDems’ official X account was in response to a video of Trump’s news conference announcing the deployment of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., and federal control of the city’s police force. Trump suggested he could take similar action in Baltimore and other major Democratic-run cities in blue states to fight violent crime despite improving trends nationally.

“Hey, f*ck you,” the post read, apparently referring to Trump. “Maryland police answer to Maryland residents, not a sex pest with daddy issues.”

The post also included a screenshot of an article about Baltimore’s decline in homicides this year that was published by The Daily Caller, a conservative news outlet.

Maryland Democratic Party chairman Steuart Pittman did not answer a 1:24 p.m. phone call from The Baltimore Sun asking for further details about the bold nature of @MDDems’ post. The post had been deleted by 2 p.m. Monday.

Trump has faced multiple sexual misconduct allegations during his lengthy career as a public figure.

In October 2016, the Access Hollywood tape — which featured Trump and television host Billy Bush speaking lewdly about women — threatened to derail Trump’s first successful presidential campaign. And in 2023, a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing, though not of raping, columnist E. Jean Carroll nearly three decades earlier.

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Trump a “rapist” last month while criticizing his handling of files related to disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Because her comments appeared to reference the Carroll verdict in which Trump was not found guilty of rape, Ocasio-Cortez was met with backlash.
