Trump Melts Down Over ‘100% Communist Lunatic’ Zohran Mamdani’s Win
The 33-year-old democratic socialist could become New York's first Muslim mayor if elected in November.
President Donald Trump labeled New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee a “100% Communist Lunatic” on Wednesday, one day after Zohran Mamdani clinched the primary.
“It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous,” the president said.
Mamdani’s victory came as a surprise to many who watched disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo lead in the polls for months. Cuomo had the backing of tech executives and billionaires, including the richest woman in the world, but Mamdani found success with his grassroots approach. He argues that the city has become far too expensive for regular people to rent apartments and buy groceries, and offers policies to lower the cost of living.
Trump assaulted Mamdani’s appearance, saying the 33-year-old “looks TERRIBLE” and “his voice is grating” before going on to call out other frequent targets of his derision.
″[H]e’s not very smart, he’s got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him. Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!” Trump said.
In another post, he made a sarcastic suggestion for his political opponents.
Trump wrote that the Democratic Party should nominate “Low IQ Candidate, Jasmine Crockett, for President, and AOC+3 should be, respectively, Vice President, and three High Level Members of the Cabinet” in 2028.
(Crockett is a Democratic representative from Texas. Trump uses the shorthand “AOC+3” to refer to Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, all Democrats.)
“Added together with our future Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and our Country is really SCREWED!” he said.
Mamdani will compete in the city’s mayoral election in November. If he wins, he will be the city’s first Muslim mayor and its youngest in over a century.
