"Is he really a Republican? Am I a big fan? This isn't exactly ideal where he wants to make Gracie Mansion a home for the cats, Trump said, referring to Sliwa saying he'd move his six cats into Gracie Mansion if elected."
"You are the Republican candidate for mayor of his hometown. He's the Republican president. I know you are both New Yorkers who may have a history, but did you try to get his endorsement?"
"No. Look, the president has bigger issues to deal with. Peace with Russia and the Ukraine, peace in Gaza conflict has broken out again. We hope that he can clear the path for peace in the Middle East and Persian Gulf and with all the visits he's making to Asia, dealing with the trade initiatives, especially with red China. Those are priorities. Getting involved in the mayoral race is only strengthening Zohran Mamdani because he wants to be David versus the Goliath. Andrew Cuomo wants to bump chests with President Donald Trump. You're not going to win against the president. You've got to get money from the federal government to help the poor and the indigent."
Curtis Sliwa is trailing Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and former governor Andrew Cuomo as the New York City mayoral election approaches. President Donald Trump declined to endorse any candidate and criticized Sliwa's plan to move six cats into Gracie Mansion. Sliwa said he did not seek the president's endorsement and argued that Trump faces larger priorities, including efforts toward peace in Europe and the Middle East and trade initiatives in Asia. Sliwa warned that presidential involvement would strengthen Mamdani's campaign and emphasized the need for federal funds to assist poor and indigent New Yorkers. Sliwa also defended his and his wife's animal rescue work.
