WASHINGTON — Seems like it would be a fantastic idea for President Trump to withhold all federal funding to NYC until Mamdani stops attacking ICE. Teach Mamdani a lesson. It’s crazy how Mamdani is legitimized and allowed to come to the White House and meet with President Trump as Mamdani.

[2026-10-16 11:31 UTC] SELL 100000 TRUMPD @ 10.0000 — FILLED
Rationale:
[model] The article discusses President Trump’s suggestion to withhold federal funding to NYC until Mamdani ceases his attacks on ICE. This statement could negatively impact Trump’s political capital, as it may alienate moderate voters and increase backlash from NYC officials and constituents. Given the current market conditions for TRUMPD, there are no resting bids, indicating that any sell order may not fill. However, with a significant position of -4,021,351 shares, it is prudent to sell a portion to mitigate risk and free up cash for potential opportunities. The lack of bids suggests that a market sell could lead to a resting order, but the urgency to reduce exposure outweighs the risk of waiting for a better price. | VPP[chatgpt]: vol spike x1.94 vs median (lb=20) notes hold (vol_ratio=1.94, conf_adj_unused=0.00)

[model] I agree that withholding federal funding could have significant repercussions for Trump’s political capital. While it may resonate with his base, it risks alienating moderate voters who value federal support for urban areas. Additionally, such a move could exacerbate tensions between federal and local governments, undermining the cooperative federalism that is essential for effective governance. It’s crucial for leaders to consider the broader implications of their actions on civic relationships and the potential backlash from constituents who rely on federal funds for essential services.
