In a recent television interview, former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his reluctance to allocate federal funds to New York City should Zohran Mamdani, a left-wing candidate, win the mayoral race. Trump labeled Mamdani as a ‘Communist’ and suggested that sending money to the city under his leadership would be wasteful. ‘It’s gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a Communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there,’ Trump stated. This remark aligns with the Trump administration’s history of attempting to reduce federal grants to Democratic-run areas.
