‘Billionaires shouldn't exist': NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani proposes to hike taxes on ‘white neighbourhoods'
New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who is being seen as the frontrunner in the polls after a stunning victory last week, has doubled down on his plans to tax 'richer and whiter neighborhoods,' while also stating that no-one should have billions of dollars, reported NBC News. Mamdani, who is touted 'the Fidel Castro of New York' by his critics, said his proposal to jack up the property tax on the rich and white neighborhoods was 'not driven by race' despite his campaign specifically targeting white homeowners. In an interview with NBC News, Mamdani argued that New York City's property tax system is unfair and also stated that there should be any billionaires. 🚨BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani DOUBLES DOWN on taxing white neighborhoods. 'I'm just stating how things are.' — The Patriot Oasis™ (@ThePatriotOasis) June 29, 2025 'That is just a description of what we see right now. It's not driven by race. It's more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus over-taxed,' Mamdani told NBC News' 'Meet the Press'. The 33-year-old mayoral candidate defended his democratic socialism, and rejected the allegations leveled by US President Donald Trump of being a communist. Trump, in a social media post, had written 'Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor.' If Mamdani gets elected in the NYC Mayor polls in November, then he would become the first Muslim and Indian American to lead America's largest city. During his campaign, Mamdani talked about affordability, promising free buses, universal childcare, a $30 minimum hourly wage, a rent freeze and city-run supermarkets and added that funds for all these welfare would come from the taxes on the top 1% of earners. Mamdani was asked about the billionaires and whether they have a right to exist, to which he said 'I don't think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality.'

Trump mobile is launched: Donald Trump's newest venture launches data plan, mobile phone to follow for $499
The Trump Organization on June 16 launched a new mobile phone service and unveiled a $499 smartphone, marking its latest business venture into the competitive telecommunications industry. Branded as Trump Mobile, the initiative includes a monthly plan dubbed The 47 Plan — a reference to Donald Trump's current role as the 47th president of the United States. The plan, priced at $47.45, offers unlimited talk, text and data, along with added services such as roadside assistance and a 'Telehealth and Pharmacy Benefit,' according to the company's website. The accompanying device, the T1 smartphone, features a gold-coloured metal case engraved with an American flag. The phone is expected to be available for purchase starting in September, at an initial price of $499. Announcing the new products at Trump Tower in New York, Donald Trump Jr. said the company would offer a complete package of services. 'We are going to be introducing an entire package of products where people can come and they can get telemedicine on their phones for one flat monthly fee, roadside assistance on their cars, unlimited texting to 100 countries,' he said. The Trump Organization stated that both the phones and call centres will be based in the United States, positioning the product as a domestic alternative to dominant global brands. 🚨BREAKING: The Trump family is LAUCHING a "Trump Phone" the phones will be made in the USA 🇺🇸 Mobile plans will offer a flagship "47 Plan," which costs $47.45 per month. — The Patriot Oasis™ (@ThePatriotOasis) June 16, 2025 DTTM Operations, the entity responsible for managing President Trump's trademarks, has filed new applications with the US Patent and Trademark Office to use the Trump name and 'T1' for mobile-related services and products. The smartphone market in the United States is one of the most saturated globally, with major players such as Apple and Samsung dominating sales. Most smartphones purchased in the US are manufactured abroad, primarily in Asia. This move expands the Trump brand's recent diversification into areas such as digital media and cryptocurrency, though analysts say the telecom sector presents significant challenges due to high infrastructure costs and entrenched competition.
