Lucas,
For too many Americans, Donald Trump represents New York City. But as a proud New Yorker, I promise you, we're better than that.
From his anti-semitic tweets ... to his appalling claim to Iowa voters earlier this year that he "could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters,” Trump applauds hatred and cheers division.
Those aren't New York values.
We're the city where the American dream started. A city built by immigrants that’s faced down terrorism without giving in to hate. New York is the original melting pot, and our strength comes from our diversity and our shared commitment to creating opportunities for all.
When I became mayor in 2013, we set out to make New York City a place where the American dream thrives. Since then, we’ve broken down barriers for LGBT citizens, we’ve started building a path to affordable housing for all New Yorkers, and we’ve recognized that opening up classrooms empowers working moms.
What we've accomplished in a few short years is more than anyone expected, and there's no chance we're slowing down. In my next term, we're going to continue to fight for diversity, inclusion, and opportunity. We're going to make sure New York is the city of dreams for all Americans.
Thank you for all you do.
- Bill
P.S.: Donald Trump attacked me on the same day that he claimed that Saddam Hussein was "really great" at killing terrorists. Should show you all you need to know about that guy.
