<p>President Donald Trump warned Zohran Mamdani or whoever ultimately wins the next election for mayor of New York City will &#8220;have to behave&#8221; or face a &#8220;very tough&#8221; financial response from the federal government.</p>
<p>Trump made the comment during a &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; interview after anchor Maria Bartiromo asked who is &#8220;poised to support&#8221; in the election.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I don&#8217;t want to say that because I have a lot of people, a lot of friends, and I have everybody, so I don&#8217;t want to get into that,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I can tell you this, whoever&#8217;s mayor of New York is going to have to behave themselves or the federal government is coming down very tough on them financially.&#8221;</p>

<p>Moments earlier, Trump took a direct swipe at Mamdani, the socialist candidate who emerged victorious in the Democratic Party&#8217;s primary for New York City mayor after former Governor Andrew Cuomo <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/andrew-cuomo-falls-to-radical-socialist-zohran-mamdani-in-nyc-mayoral-primary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conceded</a> the contest last week.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a communist, I think it&#8217;s very bad for New York. I don&#8217;t know that he&#8217;s going to get in, it&#8217;s inconceivable that he is,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;But he&#8217;s a communist, and he&#8217;s pure communist. I think he admits it. But I can&#8217;t imagine it, but let&#8217;s say this, if he does get in I&#8217;m going to be president and he is going to have to do the right thing, or they&#8217;re not getting any money.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump added, &#8220;He&#8217;s got to do the right thing. It&#8217;s shocking that I would have assumed that. &#8230; I used to say we will never have a socialist in this country. No, but we&#8217;ll have a communist. I mean, he&#8217;s a communist, he gonna be mayor of New York. So I was very surprised when I said, I never heard of him, I don&#8217;t know who he is.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also said Mamdani is a &#8220;radical left lunatic&#8221; and Bartiromo said the socialist has <a href="https://www.zohranfornyc.com/platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vowed</a> not to cooperate with ICE and pledging to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be <a href="https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/mamdani-vowed-to-arrest-netanyahu-if-he-ever-visited-nyc-as-mayoral-race-heats-up-democratic-mayoral-primary-new-york-city-international-criminal-court-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> if he visits New York City.</p>
<p>Mamdani pushed back on the &#8220;communist&#8221; label that Trump has given him during an <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/zohran-mamdani-says-i-don-t-think-that-we-should-have-billionaires-full-interview-242434117989" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; on Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, I am not. And I have already had to start to get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I&#8217;m from, who I am, ultimately because he wants to distract from what I&#8217;m fighting for. And I&#8217;m fighting for the very working people that he ran a campaign to empower, that he has since then betrayed,&#8221; Mamdani said.</p>
