Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to lash out at New York Governor Kathy Hochul, calling her the “nastiest speaker” at the Democratic National Convention. Trump claimed that Hochul’s comments about him during her speech on Monday evening were filled with “total hatred” and had “no bounds.”
Trump defended his record in New York, saying that he had created thousands of jobs, built successful buildings, and paid billions of dollars in taxes. He questioned why Hochul would speak so negatively about him, given the possibility that he could win the presidency again and potentially work with her as governor.
Trump also criticized the New York judicial system, which he claimed was biased and controlled by the governor. He alleged that the judges had treated him unfairly and that the system was “RIGGED.” He also claimed that companies were leaving the state due to the hostile business environment.
Hochul’s speech at the DNC had been highly critical of Trump, with her calling him a “fraud” and accusing him of tax dodging, stiffing contractors, and ripping off workers. She also claimed that Trump had abused women and taken away their rights, and that New Yorkers were “sick of it.” Trump’s response was the latest salvo in an ongoing feud between the two politicians.
