Guardian.com - Donald Trump on Sunday threatened to cut New York City off from federal funds if favored mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, “doesn’t behave himself” should he be elected.
Mamdani, meanwhile, denied that he was – as the president said – a communist. But he reaffirmed his commitment to raise taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers while saying: “I don’t think that we should have billionaires.”
In an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Trump argued that a Mamdani victory was “inconceivable” because he perceived the candidate to be “a pure communist”. He added: “Let’s say this – if he does get in, I’m going to be president, and he’s going to have to do the right thing, or they’re not getting any money. He’s got to do the right thing or they’re not getting any money.”
More than $100bn flows to the city from the federal government through different entities and programs, according to the city’s comptroller last year.

ResponderEliminarTrump said he would defund sanctuary cities and states but I haven't seen that happen.
ResponderEliminarfor all those true liberals (mostly Jewish) who don't wish to live or work in NYC under the aegis (that would be goatskin shield) of Zohran Mamdani, there is always Portland, if California has little to no appeal
ResponderEliminarThe asshole is right. He's not a communist. He's not a national socialist. He's an international socialist.
ResponderEliminarWhat's the difference? In true communism, nothing ever gets done and even the leaders starve.
National socialists believe in indirect government control of all aspects of people's lives, through regulations and such. Hint: The US is basically a national socialist government. Sadly. The government tells you what to make, how to make it, how to sell it, when you can sell it, when you can buy it, how you can use it and how you can store it. Sound familiar? Yes, National Socialism.
International socialists (whom many call 'communists' but aren't) believe in the direct control of all aspects of people's lives, through direct control of ownership of all phases of the process. The government owns the stores. The government owns the means of production. The government bans any stores that they want to. The government owns the ability to take from the people and redistribute it how they see fit, at the point of a gun. This is what the knucklehead is wanting to do. All aspects of NYfC lives, from birth to death, he wants the government to directly control. Stores? Government owned. Buying from stores? Government tells people what and how much they can buy, and how much it will cost, from the government stores. And, 10-1, the next shoe to drop, probably after he's actually elected, is government seizure of goods that people buy outside of NYfC and bring it into said NYfC. If the people can get out that is. As he wants the government to directly restrict the ability of the denizens of NYfC to travel within NYfC and definitely travel out of NYfC.
