President Donald Trump again pledged to stop Zohran Mamdani—whom he labeled a “communist lunatic”—from ruining New York City, reacting to the Democratic Socialist’s surprise win in last week’s mayoral primary.
Taking to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump declared, “As President of the United States, I’m not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York. Rest assured, I hold all the levers, and have all the cards. I’ll save New York City, and make it ‘Hot’ and ‘Great’ again, just like I did with the Good Ol’ USA!”
Trump has taken repeated aim at Mamdani in recent days. During a press gaggle outside the White House on Tuesday, he said, “I think he’s terrible. He’s a communist. The last thing we need is a communist.” He then added, “I think I’m going to have a lot of fun watching him because he has to come right through this building to get his money.”
He didn’t stop there, continuing, “Frankly, I heard he’s a total nutjob. I think the people of New York are crazy, if they go this route, I think they’re crazy.”
The President also warned about Mamdani’s far-left platform, saying, “We will have a communist, for the first time, a pure, true communist. He wants to operate the grocery stores. What about the people who are there? I think it’s crazy.”
Mayor Eric Adams has also entered the fray, positioning himself as a counterforce to Mamdani. In response to a New York Post headline that read, “NYC SOS: Who will save city after radical socialist batters Cuomo in Dem mayoral primary?”, Adams said: “I’m going to take this SOS. Who will save city … ‘Eric.’”
Mamdani’s win has sparked growing concern among New York’s Jewish residents, particularly in light of his outspoken opposition to Israel. Just 48 hours after the October 7 massacre carried out by Hamas, Mamdani issued statements condemning Israel, even before the Jewish state had launched any counteroffensive. He has also refused to back measures denouncing the Holocaust and has spoken in defense of the slogan “globalize the Intifada,” a phrase widely interpreted as inciting violence against Jews worldwide.
