Donald Trump has said that he will withhold funding for New York City if presumptive Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor after November’s general election and doesn’t do the “right thing.”

    Just FYI: withholding money is financial abuse, a favorite tactic of abusers, since it leaves no visible marks until significant damage is done.

      I’m so tired of people not telling this old bunch of shit sacks to fuck off. I’d have so much respect for any threatened tRump victim if they just told him the fuck off after shits like that.

      Threatening to withhold money from a place that gives you the most money doesn’t seem like a smart idea.

      If New York and California don’t give them their money, the Federal Government isn’t going to have money to withhold.

        That’s what abusers do, too. They will cut their own throats to make you squirm.
