Cuomo tells 'The View' a Mamdani win would be 'gift' for Trump, lead to NYC takeover

Source: ABC News

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo told "The View" on Monday it would be a "gift" to President Donald Trump if Zohran Mamdani wins the election in November and becomes New York City's next mayor.

Cuomo said he's the "last person" Trump wants to see as mayor, citing their relationship while he was governor of New York. "We fought on a daily basis," Cuomo said.

He alleged that a Mamdani win would lead to a federal takeover of New York City and then Trump would use Mamdani as an example during other elections about the dangers of electing a far-left politician.

Mamdani’s campaign is refuting Cuomo’s claims on "The View," instead accusing Cuomo of wanting to “roll out the red carpet” for the president.

1. I personally think it would be a "gift" to America. I've noticed that here in Texas

we constantly demonize California, East of the Mississippi - the demonize NYC. I wish we could elect a "democratic socialist" here in Texas but it goes against the culture and will never happen.

Who is elected in NYC is up to the people of NYC.

According to Oxford Reference, democratic socialism is a political ideology advocating for socialism to be achieved through democratic means, involving social ownership and control of the means of production while committing to political democracy and opposing authoritarian, revolutionary socialism. This approach distinguishes it from social democracy, which seeks to reform, rather than overthrow, capitalism within existing democratic structures.


All of the countries with the highest Quality of Life on the planet are "Social Democracies" and Regulated Capitalist. INCLUDING the Nordic ones

Democratic (adjective defines a noun) Socialist (the noun being defined) countries:

China, Laos, Vietnam and Cuba

ALL of the 25 countries with a higher Quality of Life than America are all Social (adjective) Democracy (noun)

Social Media
Social Studies
Social Personality
Social Event
Social Club
Social Studies

Social (adjective ) Programs (noun) are programs created by Democrats in a Capitalist system

the term Social Democracy is not interchangeable with Democratic Socialism. They are not synonyms

7. Andy you are such a pariah that you can't make enough by practicing law

That should be the first question he ever gets asked, "Mr Coumo How come you can't make a good living in private life as an attorney?" The answer would be he is a social pariah and his only skill is being a shady grifter, just as he was in office as our Governor. And he was a fake Democratic Party member who colluded with other fraudsters who ran as D and then caucused with the GOP in the NY State Senate.

He did that for almost a decade, and actual Democratic Party supporters had to primary the false D's. Then Coumo did a few PR stunts to seem liberal, but he has always been beholden to big business.

Strasser: Are you one of those people who cannot imagine the Germans in their beloved Paris?

Rick: It's not particularly my beloved Paris.

Heinz: Can you imagine us in London?

Rick: When you get there, ask me!

Renault: Hmmh! Diplomatist!

Strasser: How about New York?

Rick: Well, there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade.

"If Mamdani wins, trump will enforce a takeover of New York because trump hates Mamdani. Vote for me and there will be no takeover because trump hates me."

What a dumass.
