President Donald Trump is accusing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio of ripping off his rhetoric.
Trump tweeted Tuesday that de Blasio “just stole my campaign slogan: PROMISES MADE PROMISES KEPT! That’s not at all nice. No imagination!”
The mayor responded by Twitter: “The difference is that I’m not lying when I say it.”
De Blasio appeared at an event Monday standing next to a sign that read “Promises Made, Promises Kept.”
So Mayor De Blasio is using the same slogan as Trump?
“Promises Made Promises Kept”

He promised to drain the swamp!
…and filled his cabinet with billionaires and his administration with corporate lobbyists.

The Democratic mayor of the president’s hometown, de Blasio has been a critic of Trump.
The campaign mantra has been used in the past by politicians stressing their accomplishments. Former Michigan Gov. John Engler, a Republican, used the slogan when he won re-election in 1994.
East New York was too often left behind, but now it will have a state of the art school for 1,000 students #inBrooklyn. The goal of neighborhood plans like this one is to use the tools of government to put the people’s interests first. pic.twitter.com/Ox24NMvQTC

How speedily the narrative changes.Amazing
DeBlasio was barely more than zero who happened luckily be in the spot during last primaries
the frontrunner Quinn was pulled down late due to some decent activists,and family oriented communities,
While the number 2 ,Thompson seemed to be unable to show substance
DeBlasio made some vague implied compromises and the votes just crammed his way
continued..
And of course the earlier fizzling of Anthony Weiner
