Mamdani Blasts Trump Tax Bill

Politics

Democratic NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani sharply criticized President Donald Trump's newly passed tax and spending bill on Thursday, calling it “one of the biggest heists in US history.”

In a series of posts on X, Mamdani accused Trump and Republicans of prioritizing billionaires over working families, citing cuts to nutrition aid for 40 million people and the rollback of renewable energy investments. He called the bill a “massive upward transfer of wealth” to the top 1%, CE Report quotes Anadolu Agency

Mamdani’s remarks followed Trump’s threat to arrest him if he interfered with federal immigration enforcement, which the candidate labeled “an attack on our democracy” and a tactic of intimidation.

The House narrowly approved the $3.4 trillion bill, which Trump hailed as a legislative triumph, promising to sign it Friday with military jets flying over the White House.
