Trump Slams "Communist Lunatic" Zohran Mamdani After NYC Democratic Primary Win

US President Donald Trump on Thursday ( 26 June) launched a scathing attack on Zohran Mamdani, calling him a “100% Communist Lunatic” after the 33-year-old democratic socialist emerged as the frontrunner in the party's New York City mayoral primary.

Taking to his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said, "It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line. 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".

“He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’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.”

In another post, Trump mocked the Democratic Party, suggesting them to nominate “Low IQ Candidate, Jasmine Crockett, for President” and give Cabinet roles to US Congresswoman Alexandria Occasio-Cortez and her progressive allies in Congress.

He added, “Added together with our future Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and our Country is really SCREWED!”

Zohran Mamdani, a member of the New York State Assembly from Queens, is widely known for his radical-left positions, particularly on foreign policy and community activism.

He has also been an outspoken critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In the Democratic primary, Mamdani led with 43.5 per cent of votes, while former Governor Andrew Cuomo trailed with 36.4 per cent .

Though no candidate crossed the 50 per cent threshold, Mamdani is likely to benefit when second-choice votes are tallied.

Cuomo may still consider an independent run in November, but Mamdani remains the frontrunner given New York City’s strong Democratic leanings.
