Good, his endorsement will hopefully be the thing to put that old bag out to pasture
I don't exactly have the polling data but I wonder what the expedected shift is from that. I assume the Republicans want to push Sliwas voters to Cuomo, but a Trump endorsement can also scare off democrats that may have been on the fence about Cuomo at a time when his approval is at it's lowest.
Mamdani frightens them. Good.
"You have no choice." Exactly the kind of choice Trump is working hard to ensure we all have.
This is like a negative endorsement do they have those? A subtraction? If Trump is telling you to vote for a guy, absolutely do not vote for the guy. He has no one but his own interests in mind.
Historically his endorsement results in a net negative for any candidate that he endorses.
This headline is fantastic for Mamdani, plus serves as yet another example of Trump shooting himself in the foot. I want to put it on a billboard.
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.
His policies suck but no ones pushing for a more progressive alternative, california would shift red, idk if yall live out here but plenty of ppl are still trump dickriders
but no ones pushing for a more progressive alternative
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?
In california? Newsom?
Newsom's got some bad policy stances, namely his takes on trans rights, but he's still a progressive. A more accurate comment would be to say "a more progressive candidate."
"Silver spoon neoliberals" such as the Clintons, Obama, Biden, Newsom, Pelosi, etc are definitely on our side as long as you're on the side that opposes Republicans, which is really the bottom line here: we need to get Republicans out and oppose them at every turn, and hopefully New York remembers that when they hear this Trump endorsement of now third party Cuomo.
he's still a progressive
Newsom isn't even a liberal, he's just a sucking void of ambition. There's no room for ideals or ethics. He's a politician and only a politician.
Today it benefits him to troll trump on twitter so he does that. Tomorrow, if trump dies and miller offers newsom the presidency, he'd join the regime in a heartbeat.
Newsom will take whatever political stance is most convenient to him at the moment
Newsom I'm is not a progressive.
His approach to homelessness and trans rights makes it clear. He is just another neolib grifter
Cuomo would have been on your list of Dems that pretend to be progressive if Mamdani had not stepped in. Trump’s endorsement of the false progressive should tell you all you need to know about that crowd.
We’re not even at the primaries and here you are with the “yeah, he’s transphobic and would murder unsheltered people for spot if no one was looking, but YOU MUST VOTE NEWSOM IF YOU ARE NOT A REPUBLICAN.
Fuck Newsom and fuck the “blue no matter who” crowd that shits on actual progress.
So, an imaginary candidate is preferred over Newsom, imperfect as he is?
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Republicans don’t, which is why they’re in power.
Champion the overtly and successfully progressive when they’re available, and the less progressive to be better.
Here in the real world we need candidates who are electable.
Every cycle. Every fucking cycle. Before the primary: “We need someone ELECTABLE. Not someone good.” After the primary: “The time to have a problem with this racist, transphobic, corporate dick sucking bag of hateorade was BEFORE the primary. It’s your civic duty to vote for this blue piece of trash now!”
When the alternative is the republicans? Ya.
I don't think you realize how politics works. You're saying that you would not vote or vote 3rd party if there was a choice between hitler and newsom? You vote your conscience until the choice is made for you.
Before the primary, we have choices.
Oh. I just noticed who I was arguing with. Fuck off palespirit. You’re the worst kind of troll.

That's a new way to deflect, lol. I don't recognize your name.
New Yorkers don't have a choice? That's literally what voting is, choosing.
Literal narcissistic abuser.
If Trump says you should vote for someone thats an obvious sign they are comprimised and should be removed by force.
Go eat a dick, you orange fuck.
I thought he did not want Mamdani to win? Why is he campaigning for him???
I think he forgets how much New York despises him.
I’m surprised Trump didn’t say it’s illegal to vote for Mamdani.
Ah. So NYC is the battle between progressivism and trump that will define the next decade. Cool. Cool.
On a completely unrelated note, I need to buy more whiskey.
This just in: president of the USA says democracy is over.
Oh wait, that's not news at all.
Man I remember when Democrats presented things to voters as not having a choice.
Voters always have a choice.
Sounds like a threat. Hope this isn't the reason they started testing the nukes. He's a sick fuck
The reason they started testing the US Nuclear Arsenal is because Russia threatened thermonuclear war with NATO earlier this year and have been running nuclear drills in the weeks before Trump announced the tests.
Why would he endorse Cuomo over Sliwa?
Edit- oh lol, guess he thinks Sliwa is a spoiler candidate or something. Weird af.
Sliwa came out against the George Santos pardon.
