President Donald Trump said his administration is considering a federal takeover of Washington, D.C., and has suggested that he would also consider targeting New York City should Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani win the mayor’s race this fall.

His Tuesday remarks to reporters at the White House escalated his attacks against the 33-year-old Democratic nominee, who Trump has threatened with arrest, denaturalization and removal from the country while repeatedly branding him a communist.

“I’m not getting involved,” Trump told reporters during a Cabinet meeting. “But I can tell you this. I used to say we will not ever be a socialist country. Well, I’ll say it again. We’re not gonna have it,” he continued. “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 then said “we could run D.C.”

In the streets and declaring martial law without having to actually declare it. CA is just a beta test. What are we going to do when they're marching everywhere?

I hope this helps to push Mamdani way over the top. I wish I could vote in NYC. Wouldn’t this fall under State’s rights? Come on conservatives where is your fury? What a fucking moron! He doesn’t know the difference between a Democratic socialist and communist!. I’m sorry I’m ranting.
