Poorly chosen or just deliberately decisive words? You decide.

Donald Trump regularly makes fairly grave errors of judgement on social media but some might argue that his latest tweet, regarding the Baltimore riots, is actively courting controversy.

As we told you already, the riots have caused widespread damage to the city with 15 officers sustaining injuries in the process.

It’s no secret that Trump has aspirations to be the US President, and he used the situation in Baltimore to have a go at the current President Barack Obama.

Unsurprisingly, lots of people were quick to reply to Trump’s message with some stinging NSFW remarks.
