Donald Trump quote:
“I think pretty strongly that (Bill de Blasio will) end up being a good mayor, maybe a very good mayor and I don’t think he’s going to want to kill the golden goose. ...I think he’s a smart guy that knows what’s going on really big league and I think he is not going to want to destroy New York. I think he is going to want to make New York great.” (2013)
Note to self: Trump supporters don’t care.
What you fail to understand is Trump has to do business in the city. So he has to get along and play nice.
