A poll found more than half of American voters thought Mr Trump was racist, following his attacks on
Baltimore as a “rodent-infested mess” and his tweet telling four Democrat congresswomen – including
Somali-born Ilhan Omar – to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which
they came”.
The US president has condemned the shooting as a “hateful act” and said it “was not only tragic, it was an
act of cowardice ... there are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people.”
