    He’s gonna say the same thing about Newsom when he loses the presidential primary to a progressive.

    Silver spoon neoliberals aren’t on our side, they never were, and they never will be.

    Quick edit:

    In a Truth Social post on Monday evening, Trump wrote, “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, (further deranged ramblings…)

    His threat is he’d only pay the minimum taxes legally required…

    People forget a billionaire tax in NYC taxes trump

      I do not understamd his threat. They have already suspended funding for things in New York before he has been elected.

      Also how anyone can be just ok with the president threatening funding in a major city because he doesnt like the candidate is fucking insane. I would say the press should ask every republican in congrsss about this, but they will all say they havent heard or seen what he said and then it will be forgotten in a day.

      I sure hope Newsom loses the primary. That dude is just a younger Joe Biden that writes catty tweets. It’s fun to read the tweets, but come on… We can all do better.

          What?

          The DNC chair has openly been saying he wants a presidential candidate like Mamdani…

          Or are you saying no one is campaigning for a governorship a year away?
