De Blasio blasts Trump for coronavirus aid: ‘Are you telling NYC to drop dead?’

Mayor Bill de Blasio blasted President Trump in a highly personal attack on Sunday — accusing him of abandoning the Big Apple and leaving it to “drop dead” without more federal funding.

“I need a former New Yorker to step up — President Donald Trump,” Hizzoner said at a press briefing.

He called it a moment Trump “could actually help to save your hometown, or you can turn away and you can fail to protect New Yorkers.”

“And right now, you are failing to protect the very people who you grew up around,” de Blasio said in his tirade, saying the Big Apple gave Trump all the opportunities that made him so successful.

“When New York City’s in need, where are you?” he asked.

Accusing Republicans of failing to approve a stimulus deal, Hizzoner said, “Literally with a snap of his fingers Donald Trump could fix that. If he would just say the word, the Senate would jump.”

While we know who and what DeBlasio is, this is just more of the ANTI-TRUMP HYPE in an attempt to throw more gasoline on the virus fire. No virus has ever been hyped like this. It is the RATS that are doing it. ANTI-TRUMP all the way.

Yup. Trump could easily say “send us your FULL budget for the year and we’ll trim it from here..”

The question the media won’t ask:

Why was the largest city in America, also the largest terror target, unprepared for a medical catastrophe?

Oh, good grief, the a$$hole is now putting words into Trumps mouth and working hard to create the narrative that Trump said this.

Hopefully, yes. NYC and NYS have handled this so badly. Panic center of the universe, but doing nothing practical to help their citizens.

DeBlasio wants some of the money to come directly to the states. Trump wants the money to go to the people who were told to stop working by the government. New York workers will get their full share of money from the Payroll Protection Plan. The spendthrift governments are not what the law is about. DeBlasio, Pelosi and their propaganda press are just dishonest.

DiCommieoh is angry that the President won’t use tax dollars to bailout NYC from its financial mess. The Commie is attempting to use the Wuhan Flu to guilt-trip the president into using our money to bail NYC Leftists out.

It has never been about controlling the virus.

It has been about Democrats controlling, YOU!

There is only one way the president can save NYC.

That would be to send in the army, kick the mayor out of office and install RUDY!!

But right now Rudy is more valuable exposing criminals in federal government.
