“Look at what’s going on in New York, in this beautiful city where I lived for so many years, which has vibrated… She is dying, everyone is leaving New York.
The American city has continued to impose very strict rules since March, including the wearing of masks, social distancing and the closure of many indoor spaces (restaurants, bars, cinemas, theaters, etc.). A policy that has allowed the number of coronavirus infections to drop sharply, but which has made New York “a ghost town” according to Trump.
A comment that seriously annoyed New Yorkers on social networks. Many personalities, including the mayor, and anonymous living in the economic capital of the country immediately denied this judgment, often with humor, as you can see below.

.@realDonaldTrump, New Yorkers are bringing back our city stronger than ever. It is nothing short of heroic. The only “ghost town” will be Mar-a-Lago once you are forced to retire on Election Day.
