"The new communist mayor of New York City, I think he's a nice guy, actually. I speak to him a lot. Bad policy, but nice guy. Yet they don't want identification for the greatest privilege of all, voting in America."
"Trump provided some more antagonism Tuesday night, suggesting that Democrats like Mamdani are inconsistent for requiring two forms of ID and a social security card to get paid by the city for an emergency snow shoveling program while rejecting a proposal to require showing ID to vote."
During his State of the Union address, President Trump acknowledged NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a nice person despite calling him communist and criticizing his policies. Trump highlighted an apparent contradiction in Democratic positions: requiring two forms of ID and a social security card for city emergency snow shoveling program payments while opposing voter ID requirements. Trump used this inconsistency to advocate for a national voter ID law, which received Republican applause. The speech emphasized Republican priorities including immigration reduction, sanctuary city criticism, and cost reduction proposals ahead of midterm elections. Trump argued Democrats created inflation then campaigned on affordability.
