Donald Trump may be a New Yorker by birth, but NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is questioning how much heart he has for the city.
“Mr. Trump, Mr. President, Are you gonna save New York City, or are you telling New York City to drop dead? You have to speak up now,” de Blasio said at a press briefing Sunday.
The mayor criticized Trump’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak in New York City, which has become the epicenter of the crisis.
He called on the president to “actually help to save your hometown,” adding, “Or you can turn away and you can fail to protect New Yorkers.”
Right now, you are failing to protect the very people who you grew up around,” de Blasio said.“When New York City’s in need, where are you?”.
De Blasio bashed Republicans for turning down a stimulus plan and pushed for Trump to pass a bailout bill that would help millions of New Yorkers who are left jobless during the nation-wide shutdowns.
“Literally with a snap of his fingers Donald Trump could fix that. If he would just say the word, the Senate would jump.”
