Eric Adams moves closer toward Trump, alarming Democrats
The Hill ^ | 01/25/25 | Jared Gans

Posted on 01/25/2025 6:13:40 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s (D) relationship with President Trump is alarming Democrats, who question the embattled mayor’s motives amid his ongoing legal challenges.

Adams sat down with Trump for a meeting days before the president was sworn in and caught attention for a last-minute cancellation of his schedule to attend Trump’s inauguration on Monday. Adams has argued the importance of having a relationship with Trump as mayor of the country’s largest city for the benefit of his constituents.

But this also comes as Adams, who is up for reelection in November, faces the start of a bribery trial amid speculation that Trump could pardon him.

Adams is a chameleon in my opinion. He blends in wherever he goes. Phony as can be.

Dismiss the charges w/o prejudice. That will keep him on a short rope.

all of that is probably true but the question is, would he be loyal to those who help him?

His motivations are two-fold:

1. He’s facing federal charges.

2. He’s polling below 20% in a potential Democratic primary race, and may switch parties just so he can run for re-election.

I would ignore the guy. He’s one of the dumbest people in public office today — which is saying a lot.

People need to keep in mind that Adams was treating Trump with respect BEFORE the election, when it wasn’t even clear as to whether Trump wouldn’t be in jail by Election Day, and that Adams spoke up regarding the Illegals being dumped into his city, something that I don’t remember any other Democrat mayor or governor doing.

If nothing else, pardoning him, or dropping charges against him, will show other Democrats that they honesty won’t necessarily screw over their lives.

It would be a lot easier to deport illegal aliens from NYC with his cooperation—worth it to be nice for a few months.

Trump owns both coasts, the bastions of the DNC - the California Gov and the NYCity Mayor pay homage to the victor.

Adams is a big phony! He’s leaching onto Trump as one would clutch at a life preserver. He knows he belongs in prison along with his crooked lieutenants.

I’m glad he’s doing it no matter what his motive. But he’s going to get wiped out by Cuomo in the next election so this isn’t going to provide any long term benefit.

Wrong approach. NYC is a “sanctuary city” by law, and the mayor can’t change that alone.

The best thing for the Trump administration to do is crack down on illegal immigrants everywhere EXCEPT places like NYC, Chicago, etc. Let those sh!t-holes collapse under the weight of populations that have hardly any taxpayers left. The problem will then fix itself.

Exactly! He’s another Shrek from Pennsylvania look alike who dances a fine tango only to trip you up on the turn. Believe nothing coming out of a snake’s tongue! Shrek PA went to Mar a Lago for optics only and our base fell for it thinking he would at least vote for Pete with the rest of the Republicans. How did that go? Everybody that was singing his praises got slapped real hard with the hand of Reality! Wake up and smell the coffee the Democrats are evil to the core. His radical demonic Gothic wife would literally cut his you know what off if he would even think of crossing over to greener pastures. A demon will always be evil no matter what.

He didn’t get a pardon from Biden, who gave just about everyone a pardon... So he’s likely sniffing around Trump’s camp in an attempt to secure one.

“NYC is a “sanctuary city” by law, and the mayor can’t change that alone.”

I like to get allies where I can for great battles.

Let the Mayor show us what he can do.

The ball is in his court.

My understanding is that the CITY COUNCIL declared them a sanctuary city, over the head of Adams.

The Shrek from PA voted YES on K. Noem ….WHEN IHE’S VOTE DIDNT MEAN DIDDLY SQUAT!!! Diddly squat see how the game is played. I hope Trump doesn’t fall for his fakeness! He’s a Democrat inside out. Yesterday’s vote mattered the most, if the Shrek from PA would’ve been a YES for Pete that would’ve spoken volumes! To him the yes vote for Noem was just a token vote. Don’t ever forget he is a Democrat inside out and a radical one at that. The only difference is he knows how to hide it very well.
