President Trump blames Gov. Hochul for LIRR strike in Truth Social post
President Donald Trump turned to his social media platform to blame New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for the Long Island Railroad Strike, distancing himself from the conflict and insisting he has "NOTHING TO DO WITH IT."
"She just blurted out, "it's President Trump's fault." No, Kathy, it's your fault, and now looking over the facts, you should not have allowed this to happen," Trump said.
Hochul had said the disruption is the "direct result of reckless actions by the Trump Administration to cut mediation short and push these negotiations toward a strike."
n his post Saturday, the president also claimed that he would be able to "properly" resolve the issue, telling Hochul to reach out to him for help.
"Kathy, call me if you can't do it, I will get it done - I know all the players, great people!!!" Trump said.
Trump then insisted that his pick for New York governor, Bruce Blakeman, would be able to handle the LIRR strike, in addition to other issues affecting New York.
"This would be an easy one for BRUCE BLAKEMAN. He should be your next Governor and New York State would turn around fast, including far less Crime, and much lower taxes!!!" he said.
