President Trump issued a sharp warning Tuesday, saying he would consider using executive authority to take control of New York City if Zohran Mamdani, whom he labeled a “communist,” were to win the mayoral race.
“If a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same. But we have tremendous power at the White House to run places where we have to,” Trump told The Post during a Cabinet meeting.
Declaring his deep connection to the city, Trump said he was determined to restore order and leadership in New York.
“New York City will run properly. I’m going to bring New York back. I love New York,” the president added.
“We’re going to straighten out New York. It’s going to — maybe we’re going to have to straighten it out from Washington.”
