Mayor Eric Adams Blames Democrats for Trump’s Victory
Mayor Eric Adams attributed President-elect Donald Trump’s victory to out-of-touch Democrats who were too busy comparing him to Hitler instead of addressing real issues affecting the American people.
Adams discussed Trump’s significant support in the five boroughs, stating that Democrats had stopped engaging with the people and instead talked at them. He emphasized the importance of understanding the fears and concerns of individuals regarding affordability, housing, and the future of their children.
Trump’s popularity surged in New York City, with significant gains in every borough and on Long Island. Democrats, including then-vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, drew parallels between Trump and Hitler, dominating the news cycle in the final weeks of the election.
Adams also criticized the Biden administration’s border policies, highlighting the impact of migrant gang violence in New York City despite its sanctuary status. He clarified that being a sanctuary city does not mean providing a safe haven for criminals.
Adams expressed his intention to use executive powers to target violent criminal migrants and asylum seekers in the city. He emphasized the importance of public safety and investment in cryptocurrency, noting the success of his initiatives despite initial skepticism.
Trump, acknowledging Adams’ unfair treatment, hinted at the possibility of pardoning the mayor. Adams, who is facing federal corruption charges, defended his record and commitment to addressing key issues facing New Yorkers.
