It took President Trump all of six months to forget about never forgetting 9/11.
The native New Yorker’s proposed federal budget would cripple the NYPD’s ability to protect the nation’s No. 1 terror target by slashing $190 million in Homeland Security funding for the Big Apple.
Mayor de Blasio and NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill unloaded on Trump over his plan to put the city’s 8.4 million residents in harm’s way.
Since 2002, the city has been targeted by more than 20 terror plots — the most recent just last year, when an attacker radicalized during visits to Afghanistan set off a bomb in Chelsea, cops said. The blast injured 32 people.
Twenty of those plots were foiled by city law enforcement — including planned attacks on the Brooklyn Bridge, the subways, Times Square and the Federal Reserve Bank.
“This funding is absolutely critical,” O’Neill said. “It is the backbone of our entire counterterrorism apparatus. It is the cornerstone of preparedness and prevention against terrorist threats, and enables us to do what we can do to keep the city secure.”
“Under @POTUS budget, virtually all fed funding to NYPD eradicated. Entire counterterrorism apparatus in nation’s top terror target hobbled.”
Meanwhile, for Judas Iscariot..
Something to remember: The city spends $100,000 a day to protect Trump Tower when the President is out of Manhattan, and an estimated $300,000 per day when Trump is back in his Fifth Ave. residence. Officials say the city paid $24 million during the presidential transition and has only been reimbursed $7 million.
