"Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up,"
"We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants,"
"We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks,"
"We will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections because we know, just as Donald Trump does, that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who seek to extort them become very small indeed,"
Zohran Mamdani won New York City's mayoral race, defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani directly addressed President Donald Trump, saying, "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up." Mamdani pledged to hold bad landlords accountable, end a culture of corruption that allows billionaires to evade taxes and exploit breaks, and expand labor protections alongside unions. His platform includes freezing rents, free childcare, and a flat 2% tax on millionaires. Mamdani faced intense opposition funded by high-profile billionaires, and some business leaders, including Bill Ackman, publicly congratulated him. Trump posted on Truth Social "AND SO IT BEGINS!" and had previously urged voters to back Cuomo while saying Mamdani was not capable.
