Letter | NY Mayor DeBlasio violates Trump’s rights

Retribution

Powerful opponents violate Trump’s rights

It doesn't matter to me if one agrees with Donald Trump's controversial statement or not. That's because I believe in free speech , one of our most important and cherished freedoms. Political correctness be damned.

I am particularly shocked by the actions of New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio, who now attempts to hurt Trump financially because he disagrees with him. DeBlasio, a publically elected official, seeks to unlawfully use the power of government to destroy another.

He proposes to do this by having all of Trump's New York City contracts reviewed for modification or cancellation. Dirty pool in my book.
