Trump emphasized the serious nature of his claims, asserting that \u2063they \u2063were not made in jest \u2062but were factual observations about\u2063 de Blasio\u2019s performance as mayor. He recalled de Blasio&#8217;s controversial decisions, \u200bincluding\u2063 transferring a $1.5 billion budget away from the police \u2064department amid rising crime rates \u200dand implementing strict COVID-19 restrictions.\u200c <\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s \u200ccomments were intended to highlight his disdain for \u2064de Blasio&#8217;s leadership \u2062and the legacy he left behind, suggesting\u2062 that New Yorkers would \u200cnot forget de Blasio\u2019s shortcomings any time soon.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Thursday&rsquo;s Al Smith Dinner in New York City produced plenty of viral moments courtesy of former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>While the dinner&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alsmithfoundation.org\/impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">true intent<\/a> is to serve as a fundraiser for the Alfred E.
