He came in like a wrecking ball.
A New York City construction worker delivered a piercing message to President Biden Thursday morning after his predecessor — and 2024 rival — Donald Trump made a surprise visit to a Manhattan work site.
The unidentified man in a hard hat and yellow reflective vest was being interviewed by a Newsmax reporter following the ex-president’s visit when he was asked: “What’s your message to Joe Biden?”
“F–k you,” the worker replied into the journalist’s microphone without any hesitation before turning and walking off.

“It’s turning now,” the worker said in a thick New York accent. “It’s Trump’s turn again.”
A 12-second clip of the exchange was shared on X with the caption, “This union worker says what much of America is thinking right now.”
The construction worker’s strong feelings resonated with many users.
“If I was that guy’s boss, he would be getting a raise,” one quipped.
“Love this guy for saying what we are all thinking,” another replied.
“Dude is a f–king hero!” a third tweeted.

The crowd chanted “USA!” and cheered for the Republican despite the criminal charges he’s currently on trial for.
“It doesn’t change my mind on him,” Basil Persaud, a sheet metal worker from Hollis, Queens, told The Post.
Persaud, 48, said he felt that “they’re always trying to get [Trump].”
Workers at the site said they’re all union workers — and MAGA fans.
“Trump got a great reception. They say unions aren’t big for Trump — well they are,” said Darren Gould, a 58-year-old carpenter foreman from Wanaque, New Jersey.

At least one worker, however, had a similar message for Trump as his colleague did for Biden.
The unnamed construction staffer told The Post, “Yeah, f–k Trump.”
