Manhattan Democrat praises Donald Trump

A Manhattan Democrat praised Donald Trump Wednesday at, of all places, a hearing of the City Planning Commission on zoning issues.

Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer was criticizing “poor doors” for rent-stabilized tenants in luxury buildings when she extolled Trump.

“I have to give Donald Trump credit because his Riverside Boulevard [building], you don’t know who’s affordable and who’s market,” she said. The audience laughed.
