In the spring of 2014, Donald Trump
travelled to Albany to join a rally against the SAFE Act, Gov. Andrew
Cuomo’s landmark gun control law. Trump, who was being floated as a
potential challenger to Cuomo at the time, tore into the governor’s
record on energy policy, job creation and combating government
corruption.
“Obviously, we know our country’s not doing so well, our
country’s in trouble, but our state, likewise, is doing very, very
poorly,” Trump told the cheering crowd. “So I just wanted to be here to
support you.”
Two and a half years later, Trump is
instead heading to the White House, where he’ll arguably pose an even
greater threat to Cuomo and his agenda. As president, Trump will have
far more power and influence in Washington, D.C., as well as in Albany
and in state capitals all across the country. On the campaign trail,
Trump promised the reversal of dozens of policies, laws or regulations,
most of them Democratic priorities, that would reverberate around the
nation.
