President Donald Trump has decided to pause sending the National Guard to New York City after meeting with the city's Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
The Republican leader has been thinking about whether or not to deploy troops to the Big Apple, similar to what he's done in other Democrat-run cities in a bid to crack down on crime, but during an interview Saturday Trump appeared to change his tune.
When asked if he still wanted to go forward with his plan by MS NOW reporter Akalya Gardner, Trump said he would do so only if needed, but right now, his home city isn't at the top of his list.
'If they need it. Right now, other places need it more, but if they need it,' he replied before gushing about his meeting with Mamdani.
'We had a very good meeting yesterday. We talked about that, but if they need it, I would do it.'
This is a drastic difference from just months back when Trump insisted on sending troops into New York City following his promise to clean up Chicago, Illinois with the same strategy.
'When ready, we will start in Chicago … Chicago is a mess,' he said to reporters in the Oval Office in August, before adding that his administration will go on to 'help with New York.'
He's previously talked about taking over other major liberal-run cities, including Baltimore, Oakland, Los Angeles and more.
'I'm going to look at New York in a little while,' he said while sending the National Guard to Washington D.C. and after troops went to California in June.
When he first threatened to take over New York City with troops, officials, including NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and Governor Kathy Hochul, immediately pushed back.

Hard to tell with Trump. It might accommodate Mandami, it may implicate Mandami. The place will be a shithole either way.
LOL! Make Mamdani look like he did something to get Trump to greatly compromise.
Of course, Trump will now have the opportunity to make Mamdani look like he has to compromise. After all, Trump did it first (but didn’t actually do a thing),
Negotiations at work!
The Daily Smell.
DJT will give this asshole what he wants then kick him in the nuts when it suits him.
I think it will be a while before some of us, like me, remember that Mamdani is spelled with an M instead of an N.
Think Trump has found his new best buddy Mandami....
“Think Trump has found his new best buddy Mandami....”
I just saw one of your posts on the previous thread; it leaped up to me for being unusually stupid and annoying and now you are on this one with your same anti-Trump crap. Why don’t you go peddle your stupidity somewhere.
Trump made a bad political error. There is no credible “long game” He gave that lowlife communist credibility by meeting with him in the Oval office. If Trump ends up giving this lunatic the hard earned money of decent MAGA taxpayers, he will hurt the nation and lose support. Never be nice to a communist.
I love Trump’s “kill them with kindness” attitude.
It would have achieved no purpose to have been openly confrontational.
He was more like a grandpa laughingly trying to educate a dumb wayward kid...
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar, right?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see how it turns out.
Big mistake for Trump to deal with this guy.
I wouldn’t send troops there either. Eff New York, let them run it the way they want. That’s the only way things will ever change. Some people only learn things the hard way.
Yes it disturbed your little feelers... Wait till the mid terms comes around you will be on suicide watch..
Don’t count on it.
Oh yes it will be so traumatic, you will need a intervention..
Pause button on sending National Guard to New York after his meeting with Mamdani.
Lets see what ya got kid it better be good or it’s your last move.
No federal officers are wanted by the Mayor. So, oblige. Now Illegal felons, MS-13 gang members know where they will be safe.
Mamdani maybe says one thing in front of the rubes, but then does something else behind the curtain. Like Obama. It’s not what he says that counts. Can’t trust a commie.
“Yes it disturbed your little feelers... Wait till the mid terms comes around you will be on suicide watch..”
Disturb my little feelers??? You flatter your little worm self. People don’t like repuslive things in any form.
