President Trump slammed Bill de Blasio as a 'communist fool' who has destroyed New York City on Monday morning, as more and more residents flee for good and say they'll likely never return because the city may never recover.
Many fled New York in March, when it was the epicenter of the pandemic, with the intention of returning when things began reopening.
But as the lockdown dragged on, forcing hundreds of businesses to close their doors, and as businesses survived with a remote workforce, many abandoned their apartment leases permanently for more spacious homes in different states.

'Some of those people are gone and that's no good. No, this is a fool. This is a fool.' he said of de Blasio.
this is probably making FL a redder state; let the exodus rip!
The Rotten Apple is going to get even more rotten.
That’s my blunt talking DJT. Best president ever!
NYS could go R.
Just saying.
Monkeys could fly out of my butt.
NYC would take back Rudy and Ray Kelly in a heartbeat.
The picture in the article of DeBlasio Is classic. He looks like a total tool.
DeBlasio says to New York City - “Drop Dead”.
What’s amazing to me is how much long-term destruction was accomplished in a few months. Although the Democrat/Liberal rot has been growing there for decades, it was hidden by the tremendous forces of capitalism that kept it going.
Once the veneer was removed, the systemic damage was revealed. And it was ugly.
Jefferson’s Bill For The More General Diffusion Of Knowledge For Virginia declared: “…experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government), those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate…the minds of the people…to give them knowledge of those facts, which history exhibiteth. History, by apprizing them of the past, will enable them to judge of the future…it will qualify them judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views..”
Education was not perceived by the Founders to be a mere process for teaching basic skills. It was much, much more. Education included the very process by which the people of America would understand and be able to preserve their liberty and secure their Creator-endowed rights. Understanding the nature and origin of their rights and the means of preserving them, the people would be capable of self government, for they would recognize any threats to liberty and “nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud.” (Adams)
You could nuke NYC and Albany, and NYS would still be blue.
a bluer state
idiots are leaving for safety, not because they aren’t libtards anymore
I don’t understand what President Trump is hinting at here. Is he subtly implying that William Wilhelm is not quite up to par as a mayor? I wish he wouldn’t be so vague.
a conservative is a liberal that got mugged.
I live in NY State. Upstate will go for Trump, besides the cities of Buffalo and Rochester - it usually is quite red. I think Dems in NY City, Westchester and Nassau may be so demoralized and confused by the leftist-inspired chaos around them and the senile puppet Joe Biden, they may simply not bother to vote.
Take a look at the NYS map of counties for the election of 2016. It's a sea of red.
its a cute phrase but very often it’s not true
unfortunately, they don’t award electoral votes by surface area. it’s a matter of population centers; blighted blue counties have many, many more voters (dead ones as well as live ones) than red counties.
Quit beating around the bush Trump, say what you mean and don’t pull any punches!!!!!
