"Even the new communist mayor of New York City -- I think he's a nice guy, actually, speaking to him a lot. Bad policy, but nice guy, just said they want people to shovel snow but if you apply for that job you need to show two original forms of ID and a Social Security card. Yet they don't want identification for the greatest privilege of all: Voting in America."
"I'd like to say, 'Thank you.' Incidentally, Trump gave the program national press. The mayor said 1,400 New Yorkers signed up for the snow removal job program just on Tuesday, the day Trump tossed that barb. He also said the added support for his city workers is instrumental."
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani responded with gratitude when President Trump mentioned him during the State of the Union address, despite Trump's criticism of his policies. Trump called Mamdani a "nice guy" with "bad policies" and highlighted an apparent contradiction: the mayor opposes voter ID requirements while his snow removal program requires three forms of identification including a Social Security number. Mamdani acknowledged conversations with Trump but declined to discuss details. The mayor noted that 1,400 New Yorkers enrolled in the snow removal program on the day Trump made his remarks, and these workers cleared over 16,000 crosswalks, 4,000 hydrants, and 7,000 bus stops.
