Trump endorses Donovan on S.I.

- Leonard Greene

STATEN ISLAND Rep. Dan Donovan got a yuuge boost in his reelection bid Wednesday night — a big thumbs up from President Trump.

Trump tweeted his endorsemen­t of Donovan, siding with him over former congressma­n — and felon — Michael Grimm, who is trying to get his old seat back.

“There is no one better to represent the people of N.Y. and Staten Island (a place I know very well) than @RepDanDono­van, who is strong on Borders & Crime, loves our Military & our Vets, voted for Tax Cuts and is helping me to Make America Great Again,” Trump tweeted. “Dan has my full endorsemen­t!”

Grimm — who’s been campaignin­g on Trump’s agenda — brushed off the President’s snub.

“All the endorsemen­ts in the world can’t change the facts,” Grimm tweeted. “Donovan has failed to pass even one substantiv­e bill into law, and has voted against President Trump every time it’s mattered — from failing to repeal Obamacare, to banning sanctuary cities, and even against tax cuts.”
