The Ugly Truth About Trump, Sliwa, and Foreign Influence in the NYC Mayoral Race

By: Mahmoud El-Yousseph   November 6, 2025

President Trump endorsing Cuomo over Sliwa, the Republican candidate in NYC's mayoral election, is a betrayal of the Republican Party, and I hope diehard Republican voters will cast their votes for Mamdani, who is the likely winner. Just like the saying goes, "No one likes to ride in a sinking ship."

The Justice Department finding that Cuomo sexually harassed employees in the past is the only reason Trump likes him, and they are two peas in a pod.

Let's face it, Trump is a Muslim-hater, and he is very desperate to have Mamdani lose because he is Muslim, and that is the ugly truth. However, I feel I have better odds of getting hit by lightning than Andrew Cuomo winning the NYC mayoral election.

Curtis Sliwa said his own children, who were raised Jewish, are "afraid" of Mamdani. Why should religion matter? Sliwa confounds me even more when he called Mamdani a "real threat" and equated a vote for Mamdani with a vote for a "supporter of terrorism" or a "terrorist himself." In other words, a Muslim-American candidate should not be trusted, and s/he could not be a loyal American.

US law prohibits foreign interference in federal and state elections.

Israeli officials said they will never visit New York City if Mamdani wins and becomes mayor, and the Israeli Consul General urged NYC's Jews to sell their properties in New York and move to Florida if Mamdani wins.

As a patriotic American citizen, I totally disagree with Trump's disastrous policies, both foreign and domestic, and will always use my right to free speech to expose him. Trump would be the last person on earth I would seek advice from.

Since Curtis Sliwa has no chance of defeating Zohran Mamdani, low-IQ Trump advised New Yorkers to vote for the candidate they hate the least. Personally, I will not take advice from a man who has a 34-felony conviction and has been involved in over 4,000 lawsuits-a number unmatched by any other U.S. president in history.

Israeli election interference in the NYC mayoral race:

Israeli officials said they will never visit New York City if Mamdani wins and becomes mayor, and the Israeli Consul General urged NYC's Jews to sell their properties in New York and move to Florida if Mamdani wins.
