Yesterday, Trump suggested he could “take over” New York City if voters elect Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. He then suggested the administration could take over Washington, D.C., as well.
“We could run D.C. I mean we’re, we're looking at D.C. We don’t want crime in D.C. We want the city to run well,” he told reporters. "We would run it so good, it would be run so proper, we’d get the best person to run it…. We want a capital that’s run flawlessly, and it wouldn’t be hard for us to do it.”
Mamdani is a self-described socialist Democrat. He’s not a communist, as some on the right would have you believe. But to Trump, since Mamdani is very left, has brown skin, is a Muslim and is an immigrant, he the perfect kind of person for Trump to “use” in order to rile up his base. It will certainly be an interesting mayoral race to watch; whomever wins will have to be extremely tough and know how to work well with NY Govenor Hochul to stand up to Trump.
And one other thing on my mind today: Putin was making a record attack on Ukraine yesterday, launching a major volley of missels and drones into the country. Putin is undetered by Trump’s annoyance and anger at him. Remember Trump said he could end this war in a day? Maybe he was convinced he could do it. We knew that wasn’t possible, but this compelete failure should be shouted for all MAGA to know what a liar Trump is.
That’s it for me today, hope you all are well. Thanks for being here. Stay calm and don’t lose hope.
oh, give to me a voodoo doll! I knew I saved my Grandmother's hat pins for some reason! wish I could vote in the NY mayoral race. Trump does not know when to stop making these threats. NY and DC are just fine without his bluster, thank you.
