Trump speaks on the NYC Zorhan mayoral race:
I spent some time going over Zohrans platform with my political fren. We both tore it to shreds and said it was legally, politically, financially and pragmatically unfeasible.
Dude has never held a legit financial job before and has zero idea how systems or politics work. Id call his political opinions, immature, myopic at best, if not downright retarded and destructive. Whats strange to me is that his ideas all look like they came out of 2020 and are 5 years behind on the pulse of the nation.
He wants to "Trump-proof" NYC by blocking ICE and making the city a tranny haven that allows hospitals to chop up children's genitals; which Trump can just respond by turning off the federal gibs money. NYC and the state may sue but the courts are conservative and will side with Trump. The subway is already shit and is a few elections cycles away from being unusable, theres nothing about his platform to address that. Additionally he also wants to replace police with community workers which is strange because this was tried after the Floyd riots with a resounding failure.
The state childcare is horrific and will lead to abuse rates skyrocketing. Imagine having your city clerk or DMV employee operate a daycare. As for his city run grocery stores, its obvious Zohran has never taken an econ 101 course in his life. Grocery margins are razor thin and the majority of food prices are out of the cities control.
As for his rent policies, its a misguided attempt at the skyrocketing rent. I will say, the city does need to crack down on luxury apartments being built in for more middle class affordable options, but freezing the rent is not going to combat inflation. Crackdowns on large corporations, and private equity like Blackrock, and their subsidiaries from owning apartments for profit would do more to alleviate the inflation in the short to medium term.
Cuomo lost because he is a tired establishment hack that killed old people during covid. NYC has not forgotten that.
