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.
