A day after New York’s mayor held a provocative news conference in his father’s building, President Trump’s son, Eric, said the city has 'gone to shit' under the mayor's leadership.
Eric and Donald Trump Jr slammed Bill de Blasio on Monday after the mayor accused them and their father, President Trump, of ‘evading taxes and stiffing workers for decades.’
‘The fact that the Mayor of a major city would attack an iconic organization (which employs thousands of hardworking New York taxpayers) for his own political gain is an abuse of power, unethical and simply counterintuitive,’ Eric Trump tweeted on Monday.
'Most Mayors do all they can to support great businesses - here in NYC, businesses are attacked for headlines and "political points" and is this very mentality that is causing people to leave our great city in droves.
'If [de Blasio] ever think[s] there is an initiative that would be great for New York, I would be happy to come to city hall and visit [him] anytime.
'But forcing a pop-up press conference in our lobby is simply childish.
'Maybe one of these days we can work together, an invitation which remains open to you anytime.
'I wish you and our great city the best.'
Eric was referring to the chaotic news conference that de Blasio staged in the lobby of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan on Monday.
While touting a city anti-pollution law, the mayor was heckled by President Trump's supporters and said he will announce this week whether he's running for president.
Speaking at a podium steps from the spot where Trump announced his own run in 2015, the Democrat said he had come to warn the president that Trump Organization buildings could face a combined $2.1 million in annual fines by 2030 if they don't comply with a new law requiring skyscraper owners to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
'President Trump, you're on notice. Your polluting buildings are part of the problem,' he said.
But de Blasio's speech was all-but drowned out by a throng of Trump supporters who demonstrated behind him on the building's escalators, booing, whistling, chanting and holding up signs with messages including, 'Failed mayor' and 'Worst mayor ever.'
The mayor responded to Eric Trump’s tweets on Tuesday, writing: ‘Spare me.
‘You and your dad have spent decades evading taxes and stiffing your workers.
‘NYC’s Green New Deal is one law the Trumps won’t get away with breaking.
‘Fix your buildings or pay the price.’
This prompted Eric Trump to respond: ‘Spare me? First you have never created a job in your life. Second, our great city has gone to shit under your leadership.
‘Crime is up, the men & women of the NYPD detest you, homelessness is rampant, our streets are dirty and people are leaving our city in record numbers.’
Eric’s brother, Donald Trump Jr, chimed in: ‘Owned!!! It seems @NYCMayor has been a bit too busy getting whopping crowds of 4 & 5 people in the primary states to see the damage he’s inflicted on NYC.
'I look forward to his presidential run being even less successful than his time as mayor... if that’s even possible.'
The mayor then posted another tweet accusing the Trump children of 'throwing a temper tantrum.'
'[President Trump] is running scared from NYC’s Green New Deal,' de Blasio tweeted.
'The temper tantrum his organization threw at Trump Tower today is proof.
'You're on notice, Donald: we won't let you mortgage our future for your real estate.
'Fix your buildings or pay the price. We WILL collect.'
De Blasio then posted a graphic which showed the potential fines that the Trump Organization could face for carbon emissions.
Rudy Giuliani, who was mayor of New York from 1994 to 2001, backed up the Trumps and attacked de Blasio with a tweet of his own.
‘It is painful to see the quality of life, in the city I love, deteriorate,’ Giuliani, who is now working as a lawyer for President Trump, tweeted.
'Mayor Bloomberg preserved it. The incumbent inherited a well run, and maintained, city.
'It took awhile for him to ruin it but now everyone sees it and comments on it. It’s a shame.'
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Trump Tower security people should have called the cops to remove this Sandinista-loving disgusting creep of a mayor.
De Blasio will officially announce his candidacy for president today. When Don Jr. said De Blasio would draw “whopping crowds of 4 & 5 people,” that would no doubt include his black ex-lesbian wife and their half-breed son and daughter.
