Mayor Bill de Blasio has vowed to protect New York City from President-elect Donald Trump, but he will, at least, sit down with the “racist con man.” De Blasio told NY1 that he and the man who once called him “the single worst mayor in the history of New York City” and “a maniac” had a “brief” conversation on Monday. “We agreed to get together,” the mayor said. “It was a respectful conversation with an acknowledgement that we have very different views.”
When asked if the two had brought up their past name-calling, de Blasio said they had not. “In a brief initial phone call my job is to be respectful and to seek a dialogue,” he explained. “In an actual sit-down, that has to be a blunter conversation.”
De Blasio didn’t say when the two would force themselves in a room together, but promised that he would stay “resolute in protecting the people of the city” by continuing to oppose potential Trump policies, such as stop-and-frisk and the deportation of peaceful citizens. “I have to let him know obviously the concerns of New Yorkers, the fear a lot of people feel.”
“And,” he added, “I have to seek clarification about how he’s going to treat his home city.” Which is hopefully the part where they discuss if New Yorkers will ever get Fifth Avenue back.
WTF does that mean? Nobody ever said anything about deporting citizens.
/note to DeBlowhard - illegal aliens are not "citizens"...at least, not of this country.
Why is he meeting with this Marxist bum? He’s going to be elected out office in a year. Even for libs he is too leftist.
Well Trump did say DeBlasio is a maniac, and there is more proof.
“the single worst mayor in the history of New York City”
I’m not familiar with the entire history of Manhattan Island, but I do believe this is pretty close to the truth, nevertheless.
DiBlasio is an a-hole.
Interpretation: De Blazz has been forced to capitulate to Darth Trump or face destruction by the Death star.
Can BdB be deported for something?
Even worse than Dinkins? Now that's saying something.
I hope RUDY comes along for the ride.
Trump should tell him he will treat NYC no differently than any other sanctuary city.
The rules apply to all.
That’s not what Obama said.
Dinkins wasn’t as bad as Lindsay. He was merely incompetent and bored, while Lindsay willfully damaged NYC and helped in driving nearly a million people out (those of the productive class).
Running for office under a fake name? That sounds like a deportable offense.
No doubt that’s exactly what Trump will do in the cases of New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Boston, and Los Angeles.
This will then shape up as a fight over the limits of federal power.
Sit back, butter up the popcorn, and watch it unfold; it won’t be resolved overnight.
I hope Trump punches him in the face.
(just kidding ... sort-of)
Beware the mediapukes!! Still walking on a cloud today!!....THERE IS HOPE in the air can you feel it!! OH HAPPY JOY!!! Thank you LORD!!

Knowledge about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers is evidently so rare, even with a big-city Democratic mayor, that this Trump / de Blasio meeting is an example of a mayor not knowing that he has the 10th Amendment-protected state power to tell a constitutionally limited power POTUS the following.
Begone! Before somebody drops a house on you, too!
Glenda, the FReeper witch, has to tell Dorothy about those ruby slippers yesterday.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
They have agreed to get together and talk.
Only in the mind of a Democrat is this grounds for a scandal.
Mayor, you may not like it, but you don’t set immigration policy. That policy is developed and passed into law in the Congress of the United States.
As President it is Donald Trump’s job to enforce the laws of our nation. You should be able to understand that, because you have to enforce laws every day you didn’t pass into law.
Trump is doing his job. It is your job to enforce the laws Congress has developed also.
Try to do your job, and let Trump worry about doing his job.
In this as with other laws, you both have to follow what Congress has passed into law.
What’s more, you damn well know it.
