President Trump [Bret Baier]: For a thousand years, communism has not worked. It just; communism, or the concept of communism, has not worked. I tend to doubt it will work this time [New York City]. It's literally never worked.
Baier; Did you see his victory speech [Mamdani]?
President Trump: Yeah, I thought it was a very angry speech, certainly angry toward me, and I think he should be very nice to me. You know, I'm the one that sort of has to approve a lot of things coming to him, so he's off to a bad start.
Baier: At one point, he says, "turn the volume up." [plays clip of Mamdani saying, "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."
Baier: How do you respond to that? Does that affect anything you're going to do?
President Trump: It's a very dangerous statement for him to make, actually. He has to be a little bit respectful of Washington, because if he's not, he doesn't have a chance of succeeding…I don't want to make him succeed, I want to make the city succeed, and we'll see what happens.
