Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who was accused of embodying “New York values” by rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R), said the “energy” of New York got the city through 9/11.
In audio originally flagged by BuzzFeed Politics on Tuesday, Cruz told conservative radio host Howie Carr that Trump “embodies New York values” in an apparent dig.
Trump, on Wednesday, responded on Carr’s show, saying one New York value was “energy.” This audio was also flagged by BuzzFeed.
“One thing it means is energy. You know, when the World Trade Center got hit, we rebuilt that World Trade Center and we got through and very few places in this world could have gotten through what we went through,” Trump told Carr. “I mean, I was so proud of New York, the World Trade Center, these two massive, 110 story buildings come down, thousands of people killed. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”
Fuck Donald Trump, but really really fuck Ted Cruz. Hard.
As a NYer, screw Cruz. And the value system we have here in NYC is almost all anti-Trump. Two clowns.
It’s rich beyond description that the recipient of a $1 million, low-interest loan from Goldman Sachs—which is headquartered in New York City—sneers at Trump for having “New York values.” If I were Trump, I would hammer Cruz mercilessly on this.
Based on his NJ Muslim applause imaginings, one can only guess at the grandiose spectacle this deranged television viewer ‘knew’ was directed at him…
