INSIDER: Was Mayor Adams getting ready to endorse Trump?

Views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author.

Former President Donald J. Trump who is a New Yorker has expressed growing confidence in being able to win the Empire State in November, and the endorsement from the Democrat mayor of America’s most prominent city could have been a game changer.

But that was before Mayor Eric Adams was indicted by the Biden-Harris regime’s politicized Justice Department in a warning to potentially disloyal Democrats that lawfare isn’t strictly limited to Trump and other Republicans.

The former police captain and only the second black mayor in the Big Apple’s history was targeted by the feds after he became highly critical of President Joe Biden over the infestation of his city by an army of illegal aliens who filled up once-swanky hotels with taxpayers footing the bill, draining resources from the city’s already troubled budget and depriving citizens of essential services.

With agents executing a series of raids against his top aides and reports swirling that the walls were closing in on the mayor, it was only a matter of time until he was indicted, like many of the regime’s other political enemies, most notably Trump who has faced an unprecedented lawfare onslaught by the DOJ and racist black prosecutors in Democrat-controlled jurisdictions, including New York City.

The news broke on Wednesday that the hammer was coming down on Adams, just six weeks before the election in which illegal immigration is a top issue with voters and the miserable performance of “border czar” Kamala Harris putting her at a big disadvantage to Trump who is vowing to begin a wave of deportations as soon as he takes office if elected.

Few states are more solidly Democrat blue than the Empire State but crime and illegal aliens can sway hearts and minds, and an Adams endorsement in a city of over 8 million would be a serious threat to swing the state to Trump.

It would have been one hell of an October surprise.

To say that Adams hasn’t been a team player on the flooding of the country with new Democrat voters illegal aliens would be a huge understatement considering his willingness to point fingers at Washington, D.C., and Biden over the invasion that in his own frank admission last year, are “destroying his city”

“I will say this, I watched, about a year ago, when he talked about how the illegal migrants are hurting our city and the federal government should pay us, and we shouldn’t have to take them.” Trump said during a Thursday press conference. “And I said, you know what? He’ll be indicted within a year. And I was exactly right, because that’s what we have.”

“I said that he will be indicted because he did that. You take a look, that’s what they do. These are dirty players. These are bad people. They cheat and they do anything necessary. These are bad people.” he added.

Springing an indictment on Adams now doesn’t seem to make much political sense, giving Republicans prime material for ads about big-city Democrat corruption in the waning weeks before an election, unless the regime suspected that the mayor was about to go fully rogue and launched a preemptive strike.
