US President Donald Trump dubbed his hometown New York City a “ghost town” in a TV duel with Joe Biden last Thursday evening. “See what happened to my beautiful city. I loved it, it was alive. Now it is dying, everyone is leaving New York,” said Trump, targeting the corona restrictions and the closings of restaurants and other shops .
With the statement, he has not only turned the New Yorkers against him. On Twitter, he triggered a wave of criticism, which also included stars. “Charmed” actress Alyssa Milano made it clear in a tweet: “New York is not a ghost town, but Trump’s wrongdoing will haunt our country forever.”
Actress Padma Lakshmi tweeted: “New York is not a ghost town you clown. And neither is it your city.” “Star Trek” legend George Takei wrote: “New York is not your city, Donald.” And The West Wing star Bradley Whitford tweeted: “New York knows you, Donald Trump, and New York despises you.”
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio also responded in a statement on Twitter to Trump’s statement: “The heroic New Yorkers are bringing our city back stronger than ever. The only ‘ghost town’ ‘is Mar-a-Lago, after you in on election day were forced to retire. “
With “Mar-a-Lago” de Blasio alludes to the US president’s residence in Florida. That is where Donald Trump could retire if he is elected from the White House. The presidential election in the United States will take place on November 3rd this year. Then it will be decided whether Trump will run for another term or whether his opponent Joe Biden will move into the White House from the Democrats.
