New York Liberty star Natasha Cloud called out Donald Trump after the US President took verbal shots at Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral nominee of New York City. Cloud has been a vocal critic of the president since his first term, which ran from 2017 to 2021.
Winsidr's Myles Ehrlich on Wednesday asked Cloud about Trump's remarks about Mamdani. The Liberty guard explained that New Yorkers want to be heard, but the POTUS and many politicians are afraid that people are "dismantling the system."
"It's reckless of our president. It's reckless of this administration, but it's also exciting for us as the people," Cloud said.
"That's when you know we're getting to them. That's when you know we're creating change that they don't want. That's when you know we're dismantling the system. And so for all of us in New York, I'm just gonna ask that we continue to be on the right path to history."

Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda to parents of Ugandan descent, moving to the United States when he was seven.
Natasha Cloud endorsed Mamdani as the mayoral candidate of New York City. She told ClutchPoints that she would have voted for the 33-year-old political aspirant if she weren't a resident of Pennsylvania.
"He gets the worst PR because he's a Muslim, he's a socialist, and he's a democrat," Cloud said.
"But he believes that it is the government's right to take care and make sure that all its constituents live a dignified life, regardless of who you are, what your religious affiliation or background is. I think that's beautiful."
Natasha Cloud arrived in New York during the WNBA offseason. She was acquired by the Liberty from the Connecticut Sun to replace Courtney Vandersloot, who signed with the Chicago Sky in free agency.
Natasha Cloud called out Donald Trump after US attacked Iran
When Donald Trump directed the United States' attack on Iran last month amid the conflict with Israel, Natasha Cloud was very critical of the president.
Nuclear sites Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan were targeted in hopes of opening peace talks, but Cloud thinks that Trump's actions are an impeachable offense.
"Grounds for impeachment," Cloud tweeted.
Two days after the attack, a ceasefire was called between Iran and Israel, but it's unclear if the two nations will move on to peace talks.
