Eric Trump squared off on Twitter with Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, claiming that “our great city has gone to shit” under de Blasio’s leadership.

The son of President Donald Trump fired off a series of tweets Monday evening in response to a press conference de Blasio held in the lobby of NYC’s Trump Tower earlier in the day. The mayor intended to tout his NYC Green New Deal and attacked Trump for being a major source of the emissions he aims to eliminate.

“The fact that the Mayor of a major city would attack an iconic organization (which employs thousands of hardworking New York taxpayers) for his own political gain is an abuse of power, unethical and simply counterintuitive,” Trump tweeted.

Trump went on to accuse de Blasio of failing to support businesses, claiming that was the reason people were choosing to leave the city.

(2/4) Most Mayors do all they can to support great businesses – here in NYC, businesses are attacked for headlines and “political points” and is this very mentality that is causing people to leave our great city in droves. — Eric Trump (@EricTrump) May 13, 2019

Trump then extended an offer, saying that he would be happy to sit down with de Blasio and talk policy any time. “But forcing a pop-up press conference in our lobby is simply childish,” he added.

(3/4) @NYCMayor if you ever think there is an initiative that would be great for New York, I would be happy to come to city hall and visit you anytime. But forcing a pop-up press conference in our lobby is simply childish. — Eric Trump (@EricTrump) May 13, 2019

(4/4) Maybe one of these days we can work together, an invitation which remains open to you anytime. I wish you and our great city the best. https://t.co/fm1oj35A77 — Eric Trump (@EricTrump) May 13, 2019

De Blasio responded, again attacking the Trump organization and accusing the president of tax evasion. “Spare me,” he tweeted. “You and your dad have spent decades evading taxes and stiffing your workers.”

Spare me. You and your dad have spent decades evading taxes and stiffing your workers. NYC’s Green New Deal is one law the Trumps won’t get away with breaking. Fix your buildings or pay the price. https://t.co/NZdqbWQF7T — Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) May 13, 2019

“Spare me?” he asked. “First you have never created a job in your life. Second, our great city has gone to shit under your leadership. Crime is up, the men & women of the NYPD detest you, homelessness is rampant, our streets are dirty and people are leaving our city in record numbers.”

According to the most recent census data, Trump may be right about people leaving New York. Although the major population losses are focused upstate, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Nassau and Westchester Counties all saw losses between 2017 and 2018 as well. The state’s cumulative loss is such that, if it continues, New York could lose two Congressional seats by 2022.
