Trump threatens to cut billions from NYC over map
Officials just dropped a map of NYC immigrant enclaves that somehow covers Little Senegal, Haiti, Guyana, and Yemen but leaves out Little Italy entirely. President Trump calls this an unthinkable omission for New York City and says it's a disgrace. He is threatening to withhold billions of federal dollars from the city unless they fix this immediately or stop wasting money on them. The president claims people who hate the country want to see the Italian-American community erased because they stand for something incredible. There is also the issue with Mayor Mamdani trying to freeze ICE operations in NYC last night which means he shouldn't get a free pass for obstructing immigration enforcement. The stance here is clear: Mamdani hates Italian-Americans, he hates American citizens, and wants foreigners first.

The President of the United States officials recently released a map showing ethnic communities in our nation's largest city, and the map includes Little Senegal, Little Guyana, Little Haiti, Little Yemen. But it does not include a place called Little Italy, an unthinkable omission for New York City. Think of that. So you have Yemen covered, Haiti covered, Guyana covered, Senegal covered. I think it's a disgrace. We are going to work on that immediately, or we're not going to be sending them — — or we're not going to be sending them any of the billions and billions of dollars that they want to waste all the time. Those who hate our country want to see the Italian American community erased. They don't want to have an Italian-American community because you stand for something that's incredible. Can you imagine, though, making a speech like this, like, 20 years?
