President Trump made his most overt endorsement yet of Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race — saying that New Yorkers “must vote for” the disgraced former governor to defeat “Communist” Zohran Mamdani.
Trump, 79, said in his election-eve appeal that his hometown would become an “Economic and Social Disaster” if the Democratic nominee triumphs on Tuesday, as polling indicates is likely.
“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, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad. It is my obligation to run the Nation, and it is my strong conviction that New York City will be a Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster should Mamdani win,” he added.
Trump has for weeks made clear that he thinks Republicans should back Cuomo rather than GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa — but issued an even more forceful plea.
“I would much rather see a Democrat, who has had a Record of Success, WIN, than a Communist with no experience and a Record of COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE,” Trump wrote.
“He was nothing as an Assemblyman, ranked at the bottom of the class and, as Mayor of potentially, again, the Greatest City in the World, HE HAS NO CHANCE to bring it back to its former Glory! We must also remember this — A vote for Curtis Sliwa (who looks much better without the beret!) is a vote for Mamdani.”

Love Curtis but Trump is, once again, correct!
He should drop out now.
Trump’s words are truthful, but he’s spitting in the wind. Andy is toast
Thousands have already voted. Nobody is dropping out. Why wasn’t the jihadist communist Mamdani forced to withdraw instead? Trump comes out now at the 11th hour to support murderer Cuomo. I personally know many of his base in NY who have already voted early for Sliwa. This will not sit well with them. Sliwa has been all over the city for weeks campaigning while Cuomo was phoning it in. I hope Sliwa pulls an upset tomorrow night.
F Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo is a known ‘Rat, killer who deserves no support.
Vote for Curtis or don’t vote.
In any event, move.
Soon.
Rudy Giuliani must be rolling in his grave - and he’s not even dead, yet.
From outside of New York, it seems that votes for Sliwa mean NYC wants to be saved.
“I hope Sliwa pulls an upset tomorrow night.”
Never in a million years I’m afraid . Things are going to have to decline as far as they did under Dinkins before any R has even the slightest chance to win a mayoral election in the rotten apple .
I second that. Going to The City when Sliwa and the Guardian Angels where in their prime was awesome.
Remember to vote tomorrow in New York!
Bear in mind that a vote for Curtis is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is.
VOTE CUOMO!— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 3, 2025
This is something much worse Dinkins was just incompetent. This is way worse.
For Vote Granny and Gramps killer Killomo ! No !
I meant things are going to have to get much worse than they are now which they will under Mandani so perhaps it’s better if he does win ?
💯
Only if it was that simple.
I have no pity for the blue city.

735,000 early votes have already been cast.
That is probably about what will be a third of the total votes—so yeah the early voting is a big deal.
Really? What difference does it make. Didn’t Cuomo cause thousands of COVID deaths?
No, Trump should have gotten Cuomo and Sliwa to drop out, so Adams could beat Mamdani.
