Donny threatens to cut off New York City funds if Mamdani ‘doesn’t behave’
Threatening Federal Funding Based on Political Actions
Assault on Democracy Authoritarian RiskRationale
By threatening to cut federal funding based on a political figure's actions or beliefs, this statement undermines democratic norms and principles. It also seeks to intimidate political opponents by framing them as enemies. Additionally, this reflects a manipulation of economic resources for political gain, illustrating a clear potential for abusive governance.
In an interview with MAGA’s favorite disinformation pipeline—Fox News—Donny once again opened his mouth and let the stupid fall out.
This time? He’s threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, becomes mayor and doesn't “do the right thing.” What does “the right thing” mean in Donnyland? Obey him. Worship him. And definitely don’t try to make life better for working-class people.
He also referred to Mamdani as:
"a pure communist"
Oh? Pure communist, Donny? As opposed to what—the gluten-free kind? Does anyone actually believe this man could define “communist” if you spotted him the first eight letters? He just knows the word sounds scary to boomers and Tucker Carlson.
The reality is simple: if you support living wages, tenants' rights, and not turning ICE into a roving death squad, Donny calls you a communist. That’s it. No nuance. No policy. Just buzzwords and boogeymen.
And because the MAGA playbook hasn’t had a new page added since 2016, Donny of course recycled his favorite slur:
"He’s a radical left lunatic"
- DJT, June 2025 (and basically every day since 2015)
Mamdani, for his part, isn’t backing down. He’s already had to deny being a communist (because apparently we now require Cold War loyalty oaths again), and offered this cutting response:
“I’ve already had to start to get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I’m from, who I am — ultimately because he wants to distract from what I’m fighting for.”
Exactly. Because Donny doesn’t do nuance. He doesn’t do policy. He does racism, projection, and fearmongering - loudly and repeatedly, until his cult claps.
Donny Muses Prosecuting Journalists Over Leaked Intelligence Report
Analysis of Trump's Action Against Press Freedom
Assault on Democracy Authoritarian RiskRationale
By pushing to force journalists to disclose their sources, this action undermines the freedom of the press, a fundamental principle of democracy. It poses a direct threat to civil liberties and stifles dissent, as journalists may fear repercussions for reporting the truth. This behavior reflects authoritarian tendencies by delegitimizing those who challenge his narrative, which can foster an environment where dissent is not tolerated.
Donny has never read the U.S. Constitution. Not once. Not a page. Not even the Cliff Notes. There’s the actual Constitution, the one he swore to uphold - and then there’s the deranged MAGA fan-fiction version that lives rent-free in Donny’s crumbling brain.
In Donny’s Constitution™, he gets to do whatever the hell he wants. No checks, no balances, no rights - unless you’re praising him on Truth Social or buying his latest merch. And anyone who challenges him? Automatically “unconstitutional.”
The latest chapter in his long-running vendetta against reality? He’s now pushing to force journalists to reveal their sources, and prosecute them if they don’t comply.
Because Donny doesn’t just hate the press. He wants to destroy it. Especially when it dares to report facts that contradict his delusions - like the actual intelligence reports showing his illegal strike on Iran was… less than "total obliteration." You know, despite his fantasy headline:
“EVERYTHING WAS OBLITERATED!” — Donny, living in cartoon land
Meanwhile, satellite images and classified briefings quietly disagree. But Donny doesn’t need facts. He has vibes. And in his view, journalists telling the truth about military operations? Treasonous.
He doesn’t want accountability. He wants applause. Or jail time. No in-between.
So here we are again. Watching the would-be dictator lash out at the very foundation of American democracy while Republicans stare at their shoes and nod along. The First Amendment? Freedom of the press? Just more paper Donny wants to wipe his cheeseburger-stained fingers on.
When is someone going to put this man in a home? Not a White House. An actual home. With locked doors. And soft walls.
Donny's Big Bollocks Bill Begins in the Senate
Analysis of Trump's Tax-Cut and Spending Bill
Authoritarian RiskRationale
The significant income tax cuts and drastic reductions to Medicaid and food stamps could exacerbate economic inequality and create dependency on government favors, which undermines a fair economic system and can increase disenfranchisement among marginalized populations.
Donny is continuing to push his awful bill that has widely been decried as disastrous for the U.S adding $3.3 trillion to the U.S. debt.
There are a few gems hidden amongst the bill:
- It'll add $3.3 trillion to US debt
- Almost 12 million Americans will lose their Medicaid health cover
- It will overwhelmingly benefit the rich and corporations
- It will cut food stamps to America's poorest
- It'll further limit the powers of the federal branch of government as part of Donny's power grab
- The bill also allocates $350 billion for border and national security, including deportations funded by new fees charged to immigrants.
Meanwhile, Ego Musk came out from under his rock to have another attack on Donny's bill, calling the bill:
"utterly insane and destructive"
- Elon Musk, June 2025
For once, I agree with the Ketamine Kid.
