On the Fact that Several of the Headlines Pertaining to the Passing of Elijah Cummings Referred to Him as a "Frequent Target of Trump"

Just a few points on this. a) Trump was just as much of a target of Congressman Cummings as vice versa and so referencing their relationship as strictly one of victim versus victimizer is more than a trifle unfair (what else is new?) and b) I found it a bit insulting to Cummings himself that they would define him on something as frivolous as this as opposed to his much more positive accomplishments. I mean, I get it that they were attempting to slam Trump by putting it that way but, damn, somebody in the editing-room should have caught this one.
