    He’s gonna say the same thing about Newsom when he loses the presidential primary to a progressive.

    Silver spoon neoliberals aren’t on our side, they never were, and they never will be.

    Quick edit:

    In a Truth Social post on Monday evening, Trump wrote, “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, (further deranged ramblings…)

    His threat is he’d only pay the minimum taxes legally required…

    People forget a billionaire tax in NYC taxes trump

      Newsom’s got some bad policy stances, namely his takes on trans rights, but he’s still a progressive. A more accurate comment would be to say “a more progressive candidate.”

      “Silver spoon neoliberals” such as the Clintons, Obama, Biden, Newsom, Pelosi, etc are definitely on our side as long as you’re on the side that opposes Republicans, which is really the bottom line here: we need to get Republicans out and oppose them at every turn, and hopefully New York remembers that when they hear this Trump endorsement of now third party Cuomo.

        Newsom I’m is not a progressive.

        His approach to homelessness and trans rights makes it clear. He is just another neolib grifter
