Mamdani vows to be Donald Trump’s ‘worst nightmare’ as president weighs working with rival in NYC mayor race

New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani took aim at President Donald Trump in a Thursday press conference amid a report that the president is weighing getting involved in the race.

"Donald Trump has not called me," Mamdani told reporters on Thursday in New York City.

"I've said that my approach to Washington will not be a reflexive one, it is one that will be in opposition to Donald Trump's administration when it comes for New Yorkers, when it comes at the expense of the welfare of the people that I'm seeking to serve," Mamdani continued.

"If the president and the administration is looking to work for the benefit of dollars, which is what he spent so much of his campaign speaking about. That is a different conversation if he wants to actually act upon the cheaper groceries. But he told us he would deliver. That is a different conversation. But what threatens the president so much about my campaign and our movement is the fact that it showcases the way in which he's betrayed the very people that we are seeking to serve."

Trump, according to a New York Times report this week, recently spoke on the phone with Cuomo and has been talking with associates about who has the best chance to beat Mamdani between Cuomo, current mayor Eric Adams, and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

Another delusionist thinking he can pull one over on President Trump.

He WAY underestimates Trump.

[metmom]

Easy solution.

Cut ALL federal aid to NYC, and maybe even the state.

Let the democrats manage their own democrat utopia all on their own, without federal assistance.

[shelterguy]

Yup. Let them find out what being self reliant is all about.

[metmom]

The LGBTQ etc community is suicidal by supporting a muslim.

Like all useful idiots, they’re signing their own death warrant and will find out as they’re being thrown off the top of the nearest tall buildings.

[oldtech]

Mamdani is not fooling everybody about the people he’s “seeking to serve”. I think he’s definitely limiting that to one person...himself.

[metmom]

Or consequences.

[Mastador1]

Little pissant thinks he can’t affect Washington let alone Trump, and with businesses and residents fleeing New York he won’t even be able to afford his moslem peace keepers .

“I hope NYC is stupid enough to elect the workers democratic socialist.”

Of course they will elect him. He is a shoe-in this Fall.

And NYC will get exactly what they deserve.

It will be a magnificent disaster to watch.

His "plank" is almost identical to CURRENT Boston Mayor Wu. He's a shoe in

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Great post! 👍
And all true.

[1Old Pro]

it is one that will be in opposition to Donald Trump's administration when it comes for New Yorkers

It is exactly, almost to the word, of ALL these leftist pols.

An accurate description / name

[N. Theknow]

We should start making Trump jokes the way we used to make Chuck Norris jokes.

You mean like Chuck Norris once lit a fart in the "Great Saharan Rain Forest?"

[N. Theknow]

the very people that we are seeking to serve

Visions of The Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man" just flashed in my mind.

He will get elected and he will fail.

Also, he will beg for money from the state and feds. Let’s see how that works out for them.

[packrat35]

And he went back later and did another rally.

[packrat35]

Liberals are funny people. They vote for people who tell them what they are going to do to them and then complain.

[Antoninus]

Madmani, like every Democrat for the past 8 years, will run on being the anti-Trump. And every one of those TDS morons populating NYC will fall for it.
