Trump threatens to punish New York if Mamdani wins

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On Monday, President Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funding to New York City if Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani wins, yet another corrupt attempt to influence the outcome of the race.

Trump made the comment after New York Gov. Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani in the upcoming election, saying that while she does not agree with Mamdani on everything, he is the one she trusts most to stand up to Trump.

That clearly pissed off Trump, who fired off this missive on Truth Social:

Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has Endorsed the ‘”Liddle’ Communist,” Zohran Mamdani, running for Mayor of New York. This is a rather shocking development, and a very bad one for New York City. How can such a thing happen? Washington will be watching this situation very closely. No reason to be sending good money after bad!

3. If you don't vote for the Mob Boss and his crime syndicate, you will be punished and destroyed.

4. I think this will only help Mamdani.

Trump threatening New Yorkers if they don't vote the way he wants will only increase Mamdani's popularity.

5. I think this won't work the way he wants it to.

The threat to withhold Federal funds to force people to vote the way he wants will just piss New Yorkers off.
And it's not going to fly in a whole bunch of other states either.
Actually, I see Mamdani as being very good for NYC; a definite improvement over Adams.

6. New Yorkers hated that nutcase long before it was cool.

8. So did neighboring Connecticut.

I was born, raised, and living in CT at the time TSF was learning his criminal trade at the right hand of his father.
Their "activities" were well known in the tri-state area, which is why so many of us hated this ass long before he rode the golden escalator. To this day, I blame Mark Burnett for bringing him to the attention of the other 47 states. portraying him as this marvelous businessman and millionaire. WE KNEW THE TRUTH! He and his father should have been in prison in the 1970's for their illegal practices, sparing the world from the travesty to come.

Dogshit needs to get his comeuppance, and the sooner the better.
