Former Governor David Paterson, along with several other political leaders, held a press conference in Midtown to discuss New York City's mayoral election.
Sure, but again, he’s the mayor. He can’t set financial policy for the banks of the world. NYC has a huge administrative budget, but it ends at the five boroughs. He can’t be like “All UN delegates have to end all wars.” He has authority over city administrative issues, and it looks like Trump is going to go after him personally.
Important things happen in his city, and that makes him the most powerful mayor in the country. But that’s like being the tallest elementary school student. And the job is a career killer. The last NYC mayor to be elected to higher office was in 1869.
It’s only the financial center of the world.

Not for long with how Trump is fucking up trade with the rest of world and dollars and bonds aren’t looking to hot.
