"You go to LaGuardia Airport, it's like a Third World airport," said Trump on CNN's State of the Union. He went on to praise the efforts of China and Qatar in particular for investing in "the most beautiful airport you've ever seen."
He took his LaGuardia bashing a step further at a political rally in Florida, telling the audience, "It's dirty. It's falling apart. It's disgusting," reports the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
"Trump's ungrateful attack was met with stunned disbelief by New York pols who had previously counted him among the city's biggest backers," writes the New York Daily News.
"I know it's popular in other parts of the country to pick on New York for political gain, but he has been a New Yorker his whole life," city councilman James Vacca, tells the paper. "I would hope he wouldn't try to benefit by slamming New York."
