Trump Announces ‘Endorsement’ of Impeachment Manager, Other New York Democrats in Sarcastic Posts

“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,” the post continued.

“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,” Trump wrote in a follow-up post. “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!”

The New York Times last weekend endorsed Goldman over other candidates, including current Rep. Mondaire Jones. Goldman received the endorsement from the Times in part because: “Thanks to his work on the impeachment trial, he already has close working relationships in Washington — an advantage that should help him deliver on the issues most important to New Yorkers, even as a new member of Congress.”

However, the endorsement received significant pushback from many Democrats after it was revealed that Goldman had ties to the Sulzberger family that has owned and run the New York Times for six generations.
