Donald Trump rips Boston mayor over failed Olympic bid

Boston’s brief dream of hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics died Monday, and an outspoken New Yorker is rubbing it in.

The United States Olympic Committee officially pulled the city’s bid to host the 2024 Games, shortly after Boston mayor Marty Walsh announced he wouldn’t sign the Olympic host contract until financial concerns regarding taxpayers were met.

Donald Trump, polarizing businessman and 2016 presidential candidate, took that failure as an opportunity to ding Walsh.

Boston's Mayor Walsh wasted a lot of time and money on going for the Olympics, and then he gave up.
