Former President Donald Trump was up early on Wednesday to post an angry rant about New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Writing on his Truth Social platform, the former president attacked Hochul for her speech at the Democratic National Convention that occurred earlier this week.
"Kathy Hochul, the very unpopular Governor of New York, was the nastiest speaker on Monday evening (at the Democrat National Convention) as it pertains to your favorite President, me," Trump began. "Her total hatred, and statements made about me, had no bounds. I was amazed for two reasons: Number one, I did a GREAT job in New York, employed thousands of people, built some of the most beautiful and successful buildings, and paid billions of dollars in taxes. Number two is that, on the very distinct possibility I will win the Presidency, wouldn’t it be better for the people of New York State to have a Governor who got along with the President? Adversarial relationships are not good in politics!"

In reality, Trump has regularly sparred with both Democratic and Republican governors throughout his political career and he is still publicly attacking Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, whom Trump blames for failing to overturn his loss in the Peach State in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump went on to blame Hochul for his multiple legal woes, including the New York hush-money trial that resulted in him getting convicted on 34 felony charges.
"Unfairly, I am before a very biased and hateful New York Judicial System that is appointed and largely controlled by the Governor," Trump wrote Wednesday. "With the vitriol displayed by her on Monday night, it is no wonder that the Judges have treated me so badly. The whole system is RIGGED, and companies are leaving because of it!!!"
There is no evidence that Hochul directly controls the judicial system.
