President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Andrew Cuomo on Monday while threatening to withhold federal funding from New York City if Zohran Mamdani, who he labeled a “Communist”, wins the mayoral election.
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, he warned that the city would face “total economic and social disaster” under Mamdani’s leadership.
“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, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival!” he wrote in the lengthy post.

“It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad. It is my obligation to run the Nation, and it is my strong conviction that New York City will be a Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster should Mamdani win.” he added before claiming a win for Mamdani would be a “Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster.”
The president’s post also marked his latest attempt to guide New Yorkers.
“A vote for Curtis Sliwa (who looks much better without the beret!) is a vote for Mamdani,” Trump added.
