As of this past Wednesday evening, former President Donald Trump announced that he will be endorsing a Democrat, attorney Dan Goldman, for the primary race for the 10th Congressional District of New York.
This endorsement of Goldman from Trump takes place just after Goldman was also endorsed by The New York Times for the primary race near the end of last week due to, in part, “his work on the impeachment trial.”
“Lawyer Dan Goldman is running for Congress, NY-10, and it is my great honor to Strongly Endorse him,” expressed Trump. “I do this not because of the fact that he headed up the Impeachment Committee and lost, but because he was honorable, fair, and highly intelligent. While it was my honor to beat him, and beat him badly, Dan Goldman has a wonderful future ahead.”
“He will be very compassionate and compromising to those within the Republican Party, and will do everything possible to make sure they have a fair chance at winning against the Radical Left Democrats, who he knows are destroying our Country,” continued the former president. “I would like to thank Dan for fighting so hard for America, and for working so tirelessly to stop ‘Trump.’ He was not easy to beat, but winning against him made me realize just how very talented I am!”
These comments from trump seem to have been made in an effort to try and sabotage Goldman’s shot in the race as the attorney’s opponents wasted no time at all jumping on the chance to use this endorsement from Trump as an opportunity to launch an attack at Goldman.
“Last week Donald Trump attacked Dan Goldman, who led his impeachment,” Goldman stated in a release. “Now he’s pretending to endorse Goldman. True to form, Trump is trying to meddle in an election.”
“This is a pathetic attempt at fooling Democrats who are far smarter than Trump is, and it’s clear that only one candidate in NY-10 is living rent-free in Trump’s head,” Goldman went on to state. “Bukle up Donald. Dan’s coming for you.”
