    De Blasio said Trump’s comment that he could “shoot somebody” on the city’s famous 5th Avenue and not lose support was inappropriate at a time when lawmakers are trying to “deal with the scourge of gun violence.” De Blasio says the comments are arrogant and show the billionaire is “not ready for prime time.”

    De Blasio also says he respects his predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, but Americans aren’t interested in a race between billionaires Bloomberg and Trump. He says the 2016 presidential race is really about addressing income inequality. He says, “I don’t think most Americans think that billionaires are the ones who are going to give us a more fair economy.”

    De Blasio spoke Sunday morning on ABC’s “This Week.”

    Who is this phony De Blasio think he is, by telling the country, who he thinks should not run for President? This is America, and people are free to earn as much money as the economy allows. Prospective candidates should not be ruled out, because of the size of their wallets. Secondly, as far as arrogance goes, we’ve had worse arrogant (and incompetent) Presidents, than Trump. For example, Lyndon Baines Johnson was not only an arrogant individual, but a very perverted individual. I won’t mention some of his perverted activities at the White House. Jimmie Carter was also a very arrogant and cold individual, who treated the Secret Service as if they were second class citizens.

    Although he’s a very poor Mayor, he’s right about Trump and Bloomberg. These men might be self made arrogant billionaires, but they have zero foreign policy experience or knowledge. John Kasich is possibly the most qualified of all who are seeking the White House because of his experience.

    If DeBloozer wants income equality let him go to a socialist country. Even there it doesn’t work, Even the most socialist models in existence, the kibbutz or socialist collective have evolved. The USA is a free economy and billions of people world wide wish to emulate our standard. Is it perfect, no, but anyone is free to acomplish whatever they desire and to earn as much as Hashem allows them. DeBloozer is the worst mayor NYC has seen since David Dumbkins. Even Boss Tweed was better!
