I don’t know about you, but it’s just tough to watch our great American cities fall apart. These places were once symbols of hard work and big dreams. Now, many of us look at the news coming out of cities like New York and just shake our heads. It feels like we’re watching them crumble in real time.

You have to wonder, do these leaders even live in the same reality we do? It’s like they’re trying to fail on purpose. They push ideas that anyone with an ounce of common sense knows will only make things worse. And we’re all left asking the same thing: why?

From The Post Millennial:

President Donald Trump slammed New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Monday after the Democrat politician endorsed socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor over the weekend. For months, Hochul as well as other Democrats have refrained from backing the Ugandan-born far-leftist, but that resistance has waned for Hochul, who faces a tough gubernatorial race and may be seeking Mamdani and the Democrat Socialists of America’s support.

Trump posted on Truth Social, “Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has Endorsed the ‘Liddle’ Communist,’ Zohran Mamdani, running for Mayor of New York. This is a rather shocking development, and a very bad one for New York City. How can such a thing happen? Washington will be watching this situation very closely.”

Well, now we know why they do it. And believe me, it’s a doozy. New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul just endorsed Zohran Mamdani, a proud socialist, to be the next mayor of New York City. This is the same guy whose brilliant solution to crime is… fewer cops. Unbelievable.

Of course, President Trump saw exactly what was happening and didn’t waste a second calling it out. He understands what’s really going on, and he expressed what he thought perfectly.

A Party Driven by Opposition, Not Principle

And here’s the kicker—Hochul barely even tried to hide why she did it. She actually admitted that she and this socialist candidate “don’t see eye to eye on everything.” But the one thing they both agree on is their hatred for President Trump. She said she needed to make sure the next mayor would not “surrender one inch to President Trump.”

So, let me get this straight. As long as you hate Trump, you’re qualified to run a city? That’s the only requirement? It’s not about keeping people safe or making the city better. It’s all just a political game for them. They would rather see a great American city run by a radical than work with a President who puts America first.

Protecting the American Taxpayer

President Trump’s statement did more than just call out the insanity. He pointed to the one thing that affects all of us, no matter where we live. He finished his message by saying what we’ve all been thinking: “No reason to be sending good money after bad! President DJT.”

It’s a simple idea that most of us learn as kids: you don’t reward bad behavior. Why should Washington? For too long, our tax dollars have been poured into these failing cities to pay for their radical experiments. President Trump is finally drawing a line in the sand. He’s telling them that if they choose to ruin their own city, the rest of the country isn’t going to pay for it.

This isn’t some mean-spirited threat. It’s common sense. It’s about protecting the hardworking people of this country from having their money wasted.

What’s happening here is bigger than just one election. We’re seeing a clear choice. There are leaders who will sacrifice anything—even a great city—for their own political power. And then there’s a President who is willing to make the tough, sensible decisions to protect our country. This isn’t just a story about New York. It’s a warning for the rest of us, and we’d be wise to listen.
