Trump threatens New York City.
00:03
President Donald Trump recently declared that he could unilaterally withhold federal funding from New York City
00:08
if Democrat Zoran Mamdani, a promising frontrunner, is elected mayor.
00:14
News.com has learned that the president called the candidate a communist
00:17
and claimed that the White House controls the flow of money to the city.
00:21
Speaking during a cabinet Q&A alongside the president of Argentina,
00:25
whom Trump is endorsing and offering a $20 billion bailout,
00:28
he launched into an extended tirade about Mamdani and crime in major cities.
00:34
We have a communist who's 33 years old, doesn't know a thing.
00:37
Practically, he's never worked a day in his life.
00:40
And he sort of caught on, right?
00:41
And I'm not going to send a lot of money to New York. I don't have to, Trump said.
00:45
Trump also claimed his administration had already improved crime rates in several cities,
00:50
asserting that he could clean up New York within a month if given authority.
00:54
It took 12 days to do Washington, D.C., so New York is bigger.
00:59
And Chicago, we've already made a lot of progress despite fighting from the local government.
01:03
But Chicago is doing great, he said.
01:06
Trump added that cities like Memphis had shown great support for his anti-crime initiatives.
01:11
Within a month, we'll have that into a safe city again, he said,
01:15
pledging to continue targeting what he described as lawless areas.
01:19
Turning his focus back to Mamdani, Trump accused the mayoral hopeful of being anti-police and anti-Semitic.
01:26
He's a communist. He hates police. He wants to get rid of all police.
01:31
He hates Jewish people. And yet, he's got Jewish people supporting him, Trump said.
01:36
The president repeated that the funding for New York and for every place comes through the White House,
01:41
suggesting he could personally decide whether the city receives money.
01:45
Trump's comments came after weeks of partial government shutdowns
01:48
and federal funding freezes targeting Democratic-led cities.
01:52
His administration has withheld $28 billion so far,
01:56
although some funds for police and counterterrorism in New York were restored recently,
02:00
after pressure from Republicans.
02:01
Under the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the authority to allocate federal spending,
02:07
but executive agencies play a key role in how those funds are distributed.
02:11
While Trump's claim that he could unilaterally block money to New York is not legally supported,
02:16
it reflects his continued use of fiscal threats against political opponents.
