President backs Cuomo in election eve Truth Social post as Mamdani hits back at Trump’s ‘threat – it is not the law’

On the eve of New York’s well-watched mayoral election, Donald Trump issued a threat to its voters: stop Zohran Mamdani or pay.

“If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad.”

Trump’s comments echo those broadcast on Sunday during his appearance on CBS’s 60 minutes, in which he said: “It’s gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there.”

Communism is a failure that we cannot allow to prosper!

1. Capitalism is also a failure. Choose one.

2. Mamdani is not a communist, but a socialist. There's a difference, and even though you can apparently be the President without knowing that, it's worth being clear about it.

I'm fairly certain Gates9 just forgot the /s.

If people can’t recognize obvious sarcasm, that’s their problem.
