President Donald Trump ripped the newest 2020 presidential candidate, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, in a Thursday morning tweet, calling him “the worst mayor in the U.S.”
“Bill de Blasio of NYC, considered the worst mayor in the U.S., will supposedly be making an announcement for president today,” Trump said. “He is a JOKE, but if you like high taxes & crime, he’s your man. NYC HATES HIM!”
