President Trump wanted Gov. Kathy Hochul to fire the boss of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority — even though he didn’t seem to know his name, sources told The Post.
asserted
sources → want → Post
Trump had suggested giving a pink slip to MTA CEO Janno Lieber after he went over Hochul’s head and sent a fiery letter to the feds bickering about an ongoing Penn Station reconstruction, the sources said.
uncertain
sources → suggest → reconstruction
A source described Lieber as “inflammatory” and said Trump “had heard about the difficulties” Lieber was causing over the project.
asserted
Lieber → describe → project
The president didn’t mention Lieber by name during the call.
asserted
president → mention → call
But Lieber had an awkward response ready Wednesday after the New York Times first reported the nameless firing suggestion.
asserted
Times → have → suggestion
“I guess I’m not the president’s type, you know?” Lieber said after an MTA board meeting.
“I’m surprised by that ’cause I am a white guy in a tie, and I satisfy the Hegseth standard.
asserted
I → guess → standard
I’m not a beardo or a weirdo.”
asserted
I → ’m → ?
Lieber said he was “both surprised and a tiny bit hurt” by the president’s suggestion.
asserted
he → say → suggestion
“I accept that, but I’m disappointed.”
asserted
I → accept → that
The clash followed a whiny June letter Lieber sent to Amtrak executive Andy Byford, accusing federal officials of trying to cut the MTA out of decisions about the Penn Station overhaul.
asserted
Lieber → follow → overhaul
“News flash: that’s not partnership, that’s just gamesmanship,” Lieber wrote, complaining that Byford’s own letter had reached the press before it reached him.
asserted
it → ’ → him
Lieber also dismissed discussion of an agreement as “all the blah-blah” and went on to question Byford over the project’s costs, funding and developer selection — even though Trump had already booted the MTA from leading the overhaul in April 2025 and put Amtrak in charge.
asserted
Trump → dismiss → charge
Hochul’s team hadn’t authorized Lieber’s letter, and the governor was unhappy with it, according to the report in the Times.
uncertain
governor → authorize → Times
Hochul stuck by her man, declining Trump’s suggestion to fire the transit chief, a position appointed by the governor.
asserted
Hochul → stick → governor
“I said, ‘We’re working together, so don’t worry about it,’” Hochul told the paper of what she said back to Trump on the call.
asserted
she → say → call
The White House source suggested that Lieber still isn’t in the clear.
uncertain
Lieber → suggest → clear
“I don’t think he’s gonna get fired immediately, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was eventually pushed out,” the source said.
asserted
source → think → ?
Asked what Hochul had said to him about the letter, Lieber kept leaning on the bizarre dating analogy.
asserted
Lieber → ask → analogy
“She said you’re not the president’s type,” he said.
asserted
he → say → ?
