Trump falsely labeled Mamdani a “communist” and said his ideology “has failed, always, for thousands of years.”
Trump Threatens to Cut All Federal Funds to NYC If Mamdani Is Elected |
Trump falsely labeled Mamdani a “communist” and said his ideology “has failed, always, for thousands of years.”
A sitting president literally makes publicly available statements that he wants to control who’s elected and admits to taking actions to control it.
If Nixon was alive I’m sure he’d be PISSED. This level of corruption is something not even he ever dreamed of. Makes what he did the equivalent of jaywalking.
I feel like these comments from Trump are so daming it’s getting harder and harder to avoid the fact that these remarks are literally treason, which carries the death penalty.

Someone doesn’t understand history.
Or philosophy. Or politics. Or the upsides of STFU.

If Chuck Schumer votes for the continuing budget resolution and allows Trump to just yank away funding from things he doesn’t like, we should impeach him.

Trump and republicans hate democracy

Communism is failed so hard it had to make up thousands of years to fail even harder.

Capitalism has existed for less than 1% of recorded history and we might literally destroy the planet under it, but it’s the only system that “works” and we have to keep doing it forever.

Does he think NYC is some backwater in one of his MAGA states? NYC will be fine and continue donating to backwater MAGA states

Hey. Elected representatives. Make with the damn impeachment proceedings and 25th Amendment motions. Don’t care if they get ignored, at least pretend to be making an effort to protect democracy.

Hey, that sounds super illegal to me. Let’s go to the courts!

*“Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises,” Trump wrote. “He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him? This ideology has failed, always, for thousands of years. It will fail again, and that’s guaranteed!”*
If, as executive, Cheeto even touches any money, he’s shredding the Constitution that Republicans claim to revere. Money is Congress’ job. Period. Trump and MAGA literally hate this country.

Yeah so this is gonna make NYC elect Mamdani even harder.

“If you democracy, we’ll destroy you!” Weak, pathetic, unworthy.

Yet again: If Biden, Clinton, Obama made this statement/threat/action the 24/7 outrage and media coverage would be deafening. This is the destruction of our country.

Looks like he’s choosing this path instead of just throwing the weight of the presidency behind Mamdani’s opponent.
Shows you how bad Mamdani’s opponent is, really.

Trumps blithering attacks on perceived enemies is reaching fever pitch. The Epstein files must be driving him crazy.
His dumb tariffs are likely to be knocked over by SCOTUS and he will have egg all over his face. Trump looks like shit on so many levels.

He’s referring to Mamdani’s religion. This is his bigotry showing, but it’s also an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment and many statutes against government discrimination on the basis of religion.
Come on, people, he always says the quiet parts our loud and we STILL never hold him accountable.

Well this pretty much guarantees a Mamdani landslide

Wow, threatening an entire city based on who They elect.

He doesn’t know the difference between a president and an absolute monarch.
I mean, he doesn’t understand much else, either, but he doesn’t know the difference between a president and an absolute monarch.

Then NYC should cut off taxes sent to Washington DC and see what happens.

Literally interfering with democratic processes by intimidation. Imagine if New York was to reciprocate to protect NYC and withhold state funds from the federal government. California and New York make up a huge percentage of funds provided to the Federal treasury

Social policies theough democratic means always fail.. just ignore the literal happiest and some of the most successful countries in the world right now; Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Belgium and France.

Trump is obviously bothered by the possibility that voters will freely elect a Democrat.
Well then … let’s go, NYC! Vote Mamdani and maybe we’ll begin to turn the future away from dictatorship and insanity!

By this logic NY should not have to pay federal tax

Thousands of years? What?
