On the eve of the upcoming New York mayoral elections, President Donald Trump issued a threat to voters, in order to cut off Zohran Mamdani’s growing sympathy.
“If communist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral election, it is highly unlikely that he will allocate federal funds, except the bare minimum, to my beloved first residence,” Trump declared in a post on Truth Social, “As president, I don’t want to waste money.”
“With a communist in charge, the situation can only get worse, and as president, I don’t want to continue wasting money. It is my obligation to govern the nation, and I am firmly convinced that New York City will be a complete economic and social disaster if Mamdani wins,” he insisted.
Instead, Trump explicitly asked New York City residents to vote for Andrew Cuomo instead of Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral elections.
Trump’s endorsement of former New York Governor Cuomo’s independent candidacy came on the eve of the election, in which Curtis Sliwa is the Republican candidate and in which Assemblyman Mamdani has consistently maintained a solid lead in the polls.
Trump’s comments echo those he made Sunday during his appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes, in which he said: “It’s going to be difficult for me as president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, “All you are doing is wasting the money you send there.”
“His principles have been tested for more than a thousand years, and they have never been successful. I would prefer a thousand times that a Democrat with a record of success wins, than an inexperienced communist with a record of absolute failure. As an assemblyman, he was a disaster, he was among the worst in his class, and as mayor of what could be, once again, the largest city in the world, HE HAS NO POSSIBILITY to restore it to its former glory!”, he stressed.
