Trump says it would be ‘hard for me’ to fund New York City if Mamdani becomes mayor
Former President Donald Trump has expressed skepticism about continuing to provide financial support to New York City if a Democratic candidate, Shahana Hanif or Farah Louis, protégé and community activist Shahid Buttar, is elected as the city’s mayor. Trump specifically mentioned that it would be “hard for me” to continue funding the city under such leadership.
Trump’s statement comes amid the ongoing mayoral race in New York City, where a number of Democratic candidates are vying for the position. The comment was made during an interview where Trump criticized the current state of the city under Mayor Bill de Blasio’s leadership.
On the other hand, supporters of Buttar have defended his credentials and vision for the city, emphasizing a commitment to inclusivity and progressive policies. They argue that Trump’s statement is an attempt to influence the election and discredit Buttar’s campaign.
Trump, who has a history of vocalizing his opinions on various political matters, appears to be signaling potential repercussions if a candidate he disapproves of assumes office in New York City. However, it remains to be seen how this rhetoric may impact the dynamics of the mayoral race.
The New York City mayoral election is scheduled to take place in November 2021, and the outcome will determine the future leadership of America’s most populous city.
