<p style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald J. Trump on Monday unleashed a political bomb on New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, branding him a “self-proclaimed communist” and warning voters the city won’t see a dime of federal funding if the far-Left radical prevails.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City,” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115287641147640374">wrote on Truth Social</a>. “Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him?”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Mamdani, who has openly embraced socialist policies and swept the Democratic primary by promising a tidal wave of government spending, now finds himself directly in Trump’s crosshairs — and potentially cut off from the very federal cash he needs to make his utopian wish list happen.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Mamdani has promised:</p>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li><a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/27/us-news/mamdani-pledges-to-pump-another-100-million-for-free-lawyers-for-migrants-facing-deportation/">$100 million in new legal aid </a>for illegal immigrants facing deportation. Mamdani calls it a “cornerstone” of his campaign.</li>
<li>$6 billion annually for universal childcare.</li>
<li>$700 million a year for “free” bus transit.</li>
<li>200,000 affordable housing units, partially relying on federal funding for NYCHA, which faces a $40 billion repair backlog.</li>
<li>A new Department of Community Safety to strip the NYPD of traditional duties like traffic enforcement and homeless outreach.</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Where does Mamdani think the money will come from? Higher corporate taxes. He’s proposed increasing New York’s corporate tax rate to match New Jersey’s, slamming businesses with a 9% burden and suggesting he’ll yank tax exemptions from major universities to help fill the gaps.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">But even if New Yorkers are willing to crush private industry with higher taxes, it still wouldn’t come close to covering the cost of Mamdani’s sweeping socialist plans. That’s where Washington comes in. Mamdani has floated plans that hinge in part on federal subsidies and funding for public housing and city infrastructure, although he has been conveniently vague about which federal grants or programs he expects to tap.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In Mamdani’s platform, he proudly touts ideas like converting private housing into “community land trusts,” gutting police responsibilities, and flooding the city budget with new departments and social programs. He’s even vowed to “Trump-Proof NYC” by using city funds to shield illegal immigrants from deportation.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Mamdani&#8217;s game hinges on the cooperation of the federal government.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">President Trump ain&#8217;t playing.</p>
