U.S. President Donald Trump on August 29 posted on social media platform X, accusing New York Governor Kathy Hochul of siding with Canada, which he said has been "ripping off New York State for years, especially under her Administration." Trump claimed that Hochul would not "respect or acknowledge LAKE AMERICA," calling it an example of why the "Dumocrats are so bad for our Country."
In his post, Trump wrote: "Governor Kathy Hochul is for Canada, a Country that has been ripping off New York State for years, especially under her Administration, instead of the good ‘ol U.S.A. Can you imagine her saying that she won’t respect or acknowledge LAKE AMERICA. That’s why the Dumocrats are so bad for our Country."
Trump then endorsed Bruce Blakeman for Governor of New York, stating: "He has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and will never let you down!" The post was signed "President DJT."
