New York City

Sorta like how Obama was atrocious on Ebola but Trump is knocking it out of the park on coronavirus.

You mean the dude that sent American troops to Africa to fight Ebola? If anything he went out of his way to put American lives in danger during that time.

Ebola wasn't even a thing here. Bad comparison.

Didn't Barry try to bring it here? Seems like he ordered an infected American returned to the States for treatment.

I wonder how much Trumps wife's staff cost?

Hint - much less than Mookie but then again Mookie required a lot of more work to be a goddess.

De Blasio donor scored $120M in city COVID-19 contracts, board seats

Give to Bill and ye shall receive.

A big-bucks donor to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s political campaigns not only scored $120 million in no-bid coronavirus contracts — he also won seats on two influential city boards.

Manhattan resident Charles Tebele, who owns the New Jersey-based computer business Digital Gadgets, has showered Hizzoner with at least $22,750 in political contributions since 2016 including $12,800 to de Blasio’s failed 2020 presidential bid, records show.

Those contributions to de Blasio were Tebele’s first to a federally regulated campaign since he gave to 2012 Connecticut congressional candidate, Dan Roberti, who lost the Democratic primary that year.

The technology entrepreneur garnered his first city contract through an emergency, no-bid procurement system set up by the mayor during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The $19.8 million deal for N95 masks and surgical face coverings was made in March — a week before the mayor appointed Tebele to the board of the city Economic Development Corporation.

I hear he's really popular in Syria.

I'm sure he has detractors, but it doesn't change the fact that he is globally beloved whereas Trump is globally despised.

What makes you think he is globally loved? If you mean he’s loved by terrorists and everyone he bowed down to them maybe. Not sure being viewed as a weakling is being loved though.

NYC had solid mayors back to back and then they brought in this clown to tear it all down

I agree with you, but some people don't. I dont remember how many cases actually made it to the US but I think it could have been around a dozen.

Wow, he's exactly the same as president, it's almost like people should have known what they were getting.

Now thats a pretty good investment, $22k+ in get back $120million.

I'm not sure he's as beloved as you believe. And for those that think he is I'm not completely sure why, he didn't accomplish much and his watch should have been the return of America to prominence in world standing but all we really did was take a seat at the back of the bus and let others lead. The last sentence is an oversimplification for sure but there is truth to it.

Trump just run up the national debt 6.5 Trillion and you're complaining about 2 million.

Since when do you communists care about debt.

 

[clarksvol00]

Since when do you communists care about debt.

The better question is when did conservatives stop caring about debt?

Good job New Yorkers! Keep it up. I dare you to re-elect DeBlasio. Don’t care to ever step foot in this city again.

As we all learned via UT Football coaching having the rest of the coaches in the conference praising your coach and hoping he is there for a long time is a very bad omen.

Luther if our POTUS is “globally beloved” that means he’s more concerned about other countries than ours. It’s not a good thing.

What a silly metric.

Would you like Pruitt to be loved or hated in the rest of the SEC? The global market is just as competitive.

Being cordial isn't completely useless, but I would rather have a president hated by everyone else than loved. The only way to be loved by everyone in something as cut throat as politics is to be a milktoast pushover, which is exactly what Obama was in every single matter of foreign affairs.
