Former President Donald Trump told a Fox News reporter in New York City Thursday morning he plans on making a play for blue New York this election cycle, citing unspecified polling data he says puts him in reach.
“We’re going to run very hard in New York. We have a good chance of winning New York, in my opinion. We’re going to give it a shot,” Trump said. “We’re very close in New York. I understand. We’re leading in the country by a lot. As you saw yesterday, we’re up by a lot in every swing state. So I think we’re going to do very well.”
“Normally, a Democrat would win New York. Biden is the worst president in history, and we have some very bad people here, but we have the greatest people, and they’re right behind me. We’re gonna run very hard in New York. We have a good chance of winning New York, in my opinion, but we’re gonna give it a shot,” Trump said.
The 45th president also shredded President Joe Biden as the country’s “worst president,” even blaming him for the anti-Israel protests on U.S. college campuses.
What is going on at the college level in the colleges — Columbia, NYU, and others — is a disgrace and it is really on Biden. He has the wrong signal and the wrong tone and the wrong words. He doesn’t know who he is backing, and it’s a mess,” Trump said outside the Manhattan courtroom where his hush money trial is proceeding.
“If this were me you’d be after me so much but they’re trying to give him a pass. What’s going on is a disgrace to our country. And it is all Biden’s fault and everybody knows it. He has no message. He has no compassion. He doesn’t know what he is doing. He can’t put two sentences together, frankly,” he noted further.
“He is the the worst president in the history of our country and again, what is going on is a disgrace. It’s interesting outside where great Americans, people that want to come down and protest at the court, and they want to protest peacefully. We have more police presence here than anyone has seen. For blocks you can’t get near the courthouse and yet there’s nobody up at the college where you have radical people trying to rip the colleges and universities down. That’s a shame,” he said.
“It all starts with Joe Biden. The signals he puts out are so bad. And I can tell you he is no friend of Israel, that’s for sure. He is no friend of the Arab world, either.”
