President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested a federal takeover of New York City and Washington. The comments came when Trump, during a meeting of his Cabinet at the White House, was asked about New York City's upcoming mayoral election.

Trump suggests taking over Washington and running NYC if Mamdani elected - The president escalates attacks with threat of ‘tremendous power’ to ‘run’ cities if his political opponents are elected

President Donald Trump warned Democratic mayoral primary winner and state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani that if he becomes New York City mayor, he "better behave" or he will have "big problems," after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked if he's worried about Mamdani arresting him.

President Trump Tuesday vowed to “straighten out” City if Zohran Mamdani wins the race for mayor. Deriding Mamdani as a “communist,” Trump said he would take unspecified steps to intervene in the city’s affairs if the Democrat ousts incumbent Eric Adams in the general election.
