Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has taken a swipe at Donald Trump accusing his administration of dividing the nation - as friends confirm to DailyMailTV that he's building towards a 2020 run.

In an exclusive interview Garcetti says 'it breaks my heart' to witness what he described as the damage Trump is doing, but feels there is opportunity for unity.

He also pointedly avoided using the president's name, in a sign of the unifying message he is likely to see as his path to the Democratic nomination.

The 47-year-old politician insisted that the nation could, with the right leadership, became a 'loving place that everybody belongs to,' and he promised 'less talk, more action.'

This comes as close friends of the mayor told DailyMailTV that they believe Garcetti will throw his hat into the ring to fight for the Democratic nomination.

Good God. Mayor Yoga Pants, as John and Ken at KFI LA call him, must be smokin' a lot of medical marijuana. The guy has been an absolute failure as major of LA. The opposition simply has to attach a dash cam to a car and drive around LA filming the homeless and heroin camps.

Being in Orange County I’ve noticed that Yoga Pants Garcetti very often praises the mayor of Anaheim, a fake Republican named Tom Tait. I suspect it’s no coincidence that Anaheim shares LA’s scourge of homeless camps. Both of these clowns enable the problem. Maybe they will run on the same ticket in 2020

This clown Garcetti can’t even clean up the 85,000 to 100,000 living on the streets of Los Angeles. How does he think he can manage the vast US??! He has no chance against the DC establishment Deep Staters lined up to try to take out Trump.

It doesn’t matter to the Democrats that he wouldn’t sell in middle America. He’s Hispanic-Jewish, liberal, and seems to have kept his nose clean thus far. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get traction in the Democratic primaries.

I think we’re going to have to add another car to the ‘Clown Train’! This dumpster fire has gotten much too big for a Greyhound Bus.

Delusions of grandeur while Los Angeles can’t even clean up its filthy streets. This retromingent jackass ain’t going nowhere—let him waste his money.

“”in an exclusive interview Garcetti says ‘it breaks my heart’ to witness what he described as the damage Trump is doing, but feels there is opportunity for unity. He also pointedly avoided using the president’s name””

Pretty neat trick - mentioning the damage “Trump” is doing but avoided using his name?? I guess we’re supposed to ignore the contradiction.

Whom do you hope the Democrats will nominate for president? Their last four presidential nominees were Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Al Gore. All of them were U.S. senators, and three of those four lost. That’s why I hope their next presidential nominee will be someone who has been a senator. These senators or former senators said that they might run: Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Sherrod Brown, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamela Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Jeff Merkley, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren. I hope that all nine of them will run. That would cause the primary vote to split, and the Democrats would keep arguing until their convention or longer. I emailed four of them and asked them to run. If you hope they’ll run, please email some of them and ask them to run.

To Garcetti, you bleeping bleep hole. I just drove through your shining downtown last night and saw how the “Garcities” are so much worse than ever before, every freeway overpass FILLED WITH YARDS AND YARDS OF HOMELESS GARBAGE.

All of the increase in filth and disease and homelessness in LA happened on your watch. Why doesn’t this happen in other towns? OH, BECAUSE THEY DONT STAND FOR IT AND THEY PUT HYGIENE AND HEALTH OVER PHONY COMPASSION. It is more compassionate not to third world your citizens!

You have turned Geneva, Switzerland into Calcutta, India. And it isn’t even hyperbole.

I wouldn’t have you as my latex salesman! Sure AF not my president!

Garrett is the leader of the snowflakes in CA. His claim to fame is closing car lanes and giving entire lanes to one or two bicycles.

Downtown LA is full of viruses from the homeless and feces on the street., It is a sanctuary city where releases from city jail have committed murder because ICE was not notified.

He has taken trips to Iowa and New Hampshire on city funds to test the waters. now he has less than 1 % in the last poll form dems for president.

Cal elected Newsome for Governor who destroyed San fran when he was mayor. So anything is possible.
