"Donald J. Trump once again threatened New York City if people elect Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, writing on Truth Social that he will withhold federal funds if Mamdani secures a victory. And that looks likely because Mamdani is ahead in the polls. Mamdani is the opposite politically of Trump, with the latter profiting from his presidency while yanking away health care from millions of Americans."
"In early July, Trump lashed out on Truth Social, bizarrely claiming that he holds all "the levers." "As President of the United States, I'm not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York," he wrote. "Rest assured, I hold all the levers, and have all the cards. I'll save New York City, and make it "Hot" and "Great" again, just like I did with the Good Ol' USA!""
Donald J. Trump threatened to withhold federal funds from New York City if Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral election, posting the threat on Truth Social. Mamdani leads in polls and represents a sharp political contrast to Trump. Trump labeled Mamdani a "self proclaimed New York City Communist" and warned that Washington would create unprecedented problems for his mayoralty. Trump said Mamdani would not receive federal money to fulfill his promises. Trump asserted "I'm a president of all the people," while federal investments under Joe Biden have disproportionately flowed to Republican-leaning states. In July Trump claimed he "holds all the levers."
