In Tweetstorm, Mayor Buttigieg says article comparing Trump to mayor misses mark

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg responded to a Politico article on Twitter Thursday. The article says Trump's actions and behaviors are more similar to a mayor than the president.

The article is titled, "Trump is running the White House like he's America's mayor."

Mayor Buttigieg disagrees.

This piece completely misses what it means to be a mayor. The president is nothing like a mayor, and that's too bad. https://t.co/G2kDr7tSsW — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

Trump is nothing like an American mayor, not a modern one anyway. Certainly not a good one. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

He has nothing resembling a "mayoral core." If he did, he'd be more concerned with solving problems. A mayor knows it's not all about him. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

A mayor worries less about credit and blame, more about results. A mayor picks up the trash, plows the snow, fills holes in the road. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

A mayor cannot possibly traffic in alternative facts, because the facts are everywhere. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

A mayor cannot dismiss or ignore the press, because the press is made of people who live in the same community. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

A mayor doesn't insult women. For one thing, he or she will run into their spouses or parents somewhere in town. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

Contrary to the article, the Carrier stunt would never fly for a mayor, because people live here and would hold you accountable. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

A mayor knows her highest responsibility is to unite her constituents, and does not pit them against each other. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

A mayor assumes responsibility for what's happening in the city, good and bad. A mayor cannot afford to specialize in allocating blame. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

Above all, a mayor calls a city to its highest values, and brings out the best in people. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017

If Donald Trump wants to be America's mayor, let him join me for a day in South Bend and see how a mayor and city get stuff done together. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) June 29, 2017
