Trump threatens to arrest New York City mayoral candidate Mamdani
|
[IsraelTimes] US president suggests that the state assembly member is in the country illegally, throws support behind incumbent Eric Adams, whom he says he ‘helped out a little bit’ in the past
US President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...
threatened during a presser on Tuesday to arrest New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani should he win the mayoral elections in November, hours after his victory in the primaries was formally confirmed.
The president, who was speaking at an immigration roundtable at a new Florida detention facility, also repeated an unfounded claim that Mamdani entered the US illegally and voiced support for New York City Mayor Eric Adams
 ...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
, who is seeking reelection.
Asked about Mamdani’s plan to oppose Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities in New York City, Trump said that if this happened, the US administration would "have to arrest him."
"We’ll have to arrest him," Trump said. "We don’t need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I’m going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation."
Mamdani earlier said that the immigrant raids were "terrorizing people," and that agents who carry them out have no interest in following the law.
"We send him money, we send him all the things that he needs to run a government," Trump said, repeating his threat from earlier this week that Mamdani would have to "do the right thing" or forgo federal funds.
"A lot of people are saying he’s here illegally," Trump said. "We’re going to look at everything and ideally he’s going to turn out to be much less than a communist, but right now he’s a communist, that’s not a socialist," he said.
Mamdani was born in Uganda to Indian parents and became a US citizen in 2018.
Trump has often used citizenship and immigration as a weapon with which to attack his political opponents, having claimed repeatedly that former US president Barack Obama
I am the change that you seek ...
was born in Kenya, and that former vice president Kamala Harris
once a marijuana-busting Caliphornia DA
, whom he defeated at the polls last November, did not meet citizenship requirements to run for president.
Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist and state assembly member, is a member of the far-left Democratic Socialists of America, which is not a communist organization.
The DSA has made anti-Israel activism one of its planks, and Mamdani has come under fire from some parts of New York City’s Jewish community for his refusal to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state — saying instead that he believes it "has a right to exist as a state with equal rights" — and for refusing to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada," which is generally viewed as a call for violence.
Trump also used Tuesday’s roundtable event to offer support to one of Mamdani’s opponents, incumbent mayor Eric Adams, who is standing for reelection in November as an independent, following a since-dismissed federal bribery case.
"Mayor Adams is a very good person. I helped him out a little bit, he had a problem and he was unfairly hurt over this question," Trump said, calling corruption allegations against Adams a "phony indictment."
Adams has friendly ties with Trump, who is unpopular in New York City.
The federal corruption charges against Adams were dismissed in April, which the judge in the case said "smacks of a bargain" between Adams and the Trump administration.
