President Donald Trump on Sunday predicted that Zohran Mamdani would become New York City’s worst mayor if the democratic socialist candidate is elected on Tuesday ― and took a shot at him that had nothing to do with politics.
“Some people have compared him to a left-wing version of you: charismatic, breaking the old rules. What do you think about that?” CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell asked the president during a “60 Minutes” interview.
“Well, I think I’m a much better-looking person than him, right?” the president said.
Trump slammed the rising Democratic star as a communist, and ― as he has in the past ― threatened to withhold money from the city.
“It’s gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York. Because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there,” he said.
