President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Andrew Cuomo on Monday while threatening to withhold federal funding from New York City if Zohran Mamdani, who he labeled a "Communist", wins the mayoral election.
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, he warned that the city would face "total economic and social disaster" under Mamdani’s leadership.
"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, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance

Endorsing Zohran Mamdani: Hakeem Jeffries, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Al Sharpton, Kathy Hochul, etc, and YET...
October 30, 2025
"And yet, despite what should be obvious, polls ranging from as high as 43% (and on the low end, 21%) show that Jewish voters in New York intend to vote for him. Prominent Jewish actors and media personalities have unabashedly endorsed Mamdani. This week, a campaign video produced in partnership with the organization "Jews for Racial and Economic Justice" was released, which includes four self-described rabbis expressing open support for Mamdani."

The Marxist Communist or a long-time Democrat running as Independent("Nursing Home Murderer" and Sexual Harasser) for Mayor.
The New York Cesspool Times is quiet, very quiet. They'll soon have plenty to "write" about. Elections have consequences.

Hahahahahaha! Trump knows the New Yawkers won't vote for his choice just because it would be a finger in his eye. Then he can make financial decisions to cripple the idiots.

I would have expected him to endorse the Republican candidate. I'm getting increasingly fed up with POTUS.

I rarely believe most news sites about President Trump. It's why I check Lucianne so many times a day. Fox news lost their mind years ago. Don't watch or believe most of what they say, sort of like MSNBCCNNABCCNSNBC, ETC.

Two of the candidates are not competent to run a city. The gop candidate is a nice guy with a good heart, ask his 11 cats, but not a mayor. Cuomo with all his personal baggage is the only logical choice. If elected let’s hope he uses the opportunity to redeem himself.

Trump #45 did away with the "State Income Tax Deduction" on Federal Income Taxes. That act alone caused an uproar among the Blue States, who love taxes, most notably, New "Yawwk."' The sinister part of that State Tax deduction is that we, who live in the South, and pay no State income tax, must shoulder more to make up what residents in Blue States avoid paying to the Federal. President Trump, please, do away with that State Income Tax deduction once again!

Sorry #8 but "Republican" Congresspeople like Mike Lawyer (NY-17) want the SALT deduction so they can get re-elected. Too bad Mike Lawler went after George Santos - a reliable NY Republican/Conservative/Trump voter.
As for Cuomo - he was the one who started the no bail garbage. He was the one who placed covid sick in nursing homes because he refused to use the USN hospital ship, Mercy - as a place to put them or the full service field hospital set up by Samaritan's Purse. You know - screw Trump and Franklin Graham respectively - because... Cuomo had delusions of being President because the lame stream media fawned over him during Covid and his pathetic press conferences.
No way as a Republican in NYC would I vote for Cuomo - yes, voting for Sliwa is probably a loser but really....

Trump should have backed Sliwa just to throw a monkey wrench into the whole fiasco. Given the choice between Cuomo and Mamdani I'm afraid I would stay home. One is a nut case slimeball who has failed once and Mamdani is a deluded kid who has promised us even worse.

Curtis Sliwa is going to get the blame if Mamdani wins. He should have swallowed his pride and his ego and dropped out.

Unfortunately Trump cannot withhold funding. Nixon tried it a long time ago. But . . . .
Congress can and must include language in all funding laws that allows the President to revoke funding if certain conditions are not met. This is already a feature in most grant programs, but it needs to be expanded to empower the President in cases of city and state sanctuary policies, policies that attempt tp thwart enforcement of the law, shield aliens from being turned over to federal authorities, etc.
Federal Judges need to be kept out of it, Congress must act.
