New York City mayor Eric Adams is in a boatload of trouble. He was indicted at the end of September on multiple charges, including bribery. Lefties want him to resign (likely so they can install an even more Left-wing, commie mayor, cause that worked out so well for Chicago), and because -- as a lot of conservatives speculate -- Adams wasn't toeing the line on illegal immigration to their satisfaction.
Either way, 2025 is going to be a rough year for Adams. Which is why he might be trying to get onto Trump's good side by defending him against Leftist accusations of 'fascism.'

More form The New York Post:
Mayor Adams defended Donald Trump Saturday, slamming claims from Democrats that the Republican nominee is a 'fascist' who could be compared to Adolf Hitler.
'I have had those comments hurled at me by some political leaders in the city; my answer is ‘No,’ ' said an embattled Adams, when asked about the criticism of Trump.
'I know what Hitler has done, and I know what a fascist regime looks like. I think, as I have called for over and over again, that the level of conversation, I think we can all dial down the temperature,' added Adams, a moderate Dem currently facing federal corruption charges.
He's right, too.

Even Politico picked up the story:
Eric Adams says Donald Trump is not a fascist, defending the Republican again https://t.co/TOOQsQWqfK

They sound disappointed, no?
Eric and Trump have been the victims of Biden and Kamala's banana republic.

Hard to argue with this.
He’s seen the internals and is looking for mercy from Trump to either call off the prosecution or pardon him.

'Save me, Donald Trump. You're my only hope!' - Eric Adams, probably.
Sounds like Adams is expecting Trump to win and is hedging his bets by actually telling the truth. https://t.co/BjrJASTuEw

Only way to interpret this, really.
Maybe Adams doesn’t want his city descending into chaos.

Sometimes the truth isn’t meant to defend but bring us back to reality. https://t.co/v7sSQxCOND
Exactly this.
And here's video of Adams defending Trump:
