On the day of the American election, it appears that Donald Trump is facing potential losses with the Governor’s mansions in New Jersey and Virginia, along with the likely election of Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York City, Trump’s hometown.
There are speculations that Trump might actually welcome having a prominent adversary in New York, as it could provide him with an opportunity to exploit any street crime video that goes viral to declare an emergency and possibly take drastic actions. This theory is circulating among individuals in Washington.
In a controversial move, Donald Trump has threatened to withhold federal funding from New York City if Zohran Mamdani wins the upcoming Mayoral Election, citing Mamdani’s communist ideology as a reason for his stance. Trump expressed his skepticism about the city’s potential success under communist leadership and encouraged his supporters to vote for Andrew Cuomo instead of the Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa.
Further meddling in local elections, Trump baselessly warned that voting for Democratic gubernatorial candidates could lead to a significant increase in energy prices. Despite his claims, recent polls have shown a record low approval rating of only 37% for Trump.
In a separate incident, disturbing footage surfaced showing ICE agents in Chicago forcefully detaining an American citizen, Dayanne Figueroa, following a collision with protesters. Figueroa, who was on her way to get coffee, was later released without charges.
Amidst allegations of election interference and declining popularity, Trump dismissed unfavorable polls as “fake” and criticized the media for biased reporting. Despite his claims, Trump’s approval ratings continue to plummet.
