Trump calls de Blasio's use of the same slogan 'not at all nice'

NEW YORK _ Finally, something they agree on!

A day after New York Mayor Bill de Blasio held a press conference in front of a sign reading "Promises Made Promises Kept" _ which the Daily News noted matched signs used by Trump _ the president took to Twitter to blast Hizzoner for a lack of imagination.

"Bill DeBlasio, the high taxing Mayor of NYC, just stole my campaign slogan: PROMISES MADE PROMISES KEPT! That's not at all nice. No imagination!" he wrote, tagging Fox & Friends.

It appears both men, who are on totally opposite sides of the ideological spectrum, are lacking for imagination. A seasoned political observer noted to The News that the slogan had been used by Hubert Humphrey at the 1968 Democratic National Convention.

The Twitter spat comes after days of Trump tweeting about New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his "in-artful" comment last week that America "was never that great."
