New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani just did exactly that. What’s to prevent someone from buying heavily discounted groceries and turning around to resell them? The answer came from New York City Economic Development Corporation President Jeanny Pak. President Trump wasted little time pointing out the contradiction, saying he wished New York required identification “to access the voting booth.” If showing an ID is common sense before buying discounted bananas, it’s difficult to argue it’s an assault on democracy before choosing the next President of the United States.
