In comments regarding the New York City mayoral race, President Trump condemned Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani as a "pure communist" and warned him of financial repercussions from the federal government if elected. Trump expressed satisfaction with the current mayor's compliance with federal immigration policies and emphasized that any future mayor, including Mamdani, must align with the administration's approach to avoid financial penalties. Trump's statements were aimed at portraying Mamdani's governance as a potential threat to New York's financial wellbeing and as a challenge to federal authority.
"I can't imagine it, but let's say this: if he does get in, I'm gonna be president and he's gonna have to do the right thing or they're not getting any money."
"Whoever is mayor of New York is going to have to behave themselves or the federal government is coming down very tough on them financially."
