I don’t even think he would wait for Mamdani to be inaugurated.
President Trump will wind up being Mayor Trump if Mamdani is elected.
We cannot even make it through the first week of school without mass shootings. And the [GOP] will continue to do absolutely nothing while our kids are being gunned down. This is sick.
But we’re ready to help, we want to continue to help, we have to continue with this mission, it’s important and ultimately it’s gonna be good for the state of Florida.
