New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says he met with President-elect Donald Trump and “let him know that so many New Yorkers are fearful” of what his administration could bring.
De Blasio spoke to reporters after his hour-long meeting at Trump Tower Wednesday, which he categorized as “respectful” and “candid” with a real “give-and-take.”
The mayor, a liberal Democrat, and Trump have previously clashed. He said concerns with Trump’s support of aggressive policing tactics, his tax plans and any move to deport immigrants living in the United States illegally.
De Blasio said that Trump “loves this city” and added that he urged the Republican president-elect to send a “sign of unity” to his hometown, which overwhelmingly voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton.

חכם מה הו
if de blazio will be a decent leader and explain everything to the people honestly and fairly everything would be ok. but this nut case just keeps fanning the fires and keeps telling everyone how were gonna fight trump and were all scared blah blah blah. so yea of course all his stupid followers are gonna be scared. but the reality is the only guy whos scared is de blazio himself. maybe hes scared of being proven wrong
my fear of him being reelected mayor. he sanctions sanctuary
raises my fears of walking the streets of New York that Bloomburg had achieved. The police do not want crimminal #illegals on the streets of New YOrk. debalsio is a nut job.
He talks of immigrants we are talking about criminal illegals.
tell that idiot mayor that i was fearful of clinton she won ny because of minorities who were afra9id of the wall expulsion and closing the doors on certain immigrants[terrorists]
completely understandable that he’d be fearful. if I lived in a populist based country that rejected Hillary, and I was a commie like dblasio, I’d be worried too.
I’m sure he can catch a flight to join the Sandinistas from LaGuardia.
New Yorkers should be fearful that this communist di Blasio will be reelected. Trump will be good for the country, and good for New York. What Obama did to this country in 8 years, will be replicated in NY if di Blasio gets in again.
he’s right. new yorkers are fearful of repeating the same mistake that got diblazio elected in the first place.
De Blasio you are the worst person on the face of the earth you messed up the entire city
He needs a Dermatologist badly! He’s not Black or White but Purple!
