NEW YORK (AP) — Within an hour of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio joining the Democratic presidential race, he and President Donald Trump were already trading barbs.
During an appearance on "Good Morning America" this morning, de Blasio borrowed one of Trump's favorite tactics by giving the president a disparaging nickname: Con Don.
"He's a con artist. I know his tricks I know his playbook," the mayor said.
Trump tweeted that de Blasio is "considered the worst mayor in the U.S."
The president added, "but if you like high taxes & crime, he's your man. NYC HATES HIM!"
