President backs Cuomo in election eve Truth Social post as Mamdani hits back at Trump’s ‘threat – it is not the law’
On the eve of New York’s well-watched mayoral election, Donald Trump issued a threat to its voters: stop Zohran Mamdani or pay.
“If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad.”
Trump’s comments echo those broadcast on Sunday during his appearance on CBS’s 60 minutes, in which he said: “It’s gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there.”
Communism is a failure that we cannot allow to prosper!
Capitalism is also a failure. Choose one.
Mamdani is not a communist, but a socialist. There’s a difference, and even though you can apparently be the President without knowing that, it’s worth being clear about it.
I’m fairly certain Gates9 just forgot the /s.
If people can’t recognize obvious sarcasm, that’s their problem.
its hard to tell nowadays.
I think it’s everyone’s problem that the world is too awful for sarcasm to be obvious.
True. I absolutely loathe “/s”. Fuck that noise.
he’s a socialist.
(the comment implies that communism/socialism is fully capable of prosperity and capitalists do what they always do, attack before an alternative proves itself)
I’ve learned the hard way that in the current online world, especially on sites like Lemmy for reasons, people cannot detect sarcasm unless you use those horrible, tone-ruining tags. It’s one of the many things they’ve taken from us.
Or, and hear me out: you post things you think are funny and ignore the dumbass vote brigades run by bots and morons. You don’t need an award trophy for writing words into a forum.
Then you don’t need/s
A good shitpost is its own reward
do you think the whole internet is just bots and your the only human?
No but I do think you worked extra hard to find an annoying response that has zero to do with anything I actually said.
then why even make that comment? your ragebaitng for no good reason, you have to face reality and realize not everyone has the same collective thoughts. echo chambers are not healthy.
Yes of the two of us, I am clearly the one ragebaiting.
Come on man, at least be creative.
ok
