NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Donald Trump did not mince his words while thrashing Zohran Mamdani after his win in New York’s Democratic mayoral primary.

The POTUS took to his Truth Social page and wrote, “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 claimed.

Trump also slammed the 33-year-old politician for his appearance. 

He posted, “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.”

“Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!” the Republican leader added.

Trump’s mention of AOC+3 was seemingly a reference to the so-called squad in Congress, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, as reported by The New York Post.

However, the Commander-in-Chief did not stop there.

In another social media post, he shared, “I have an idea for the Democrats to bring them back into ‘play.’”

“After years of being left out in the cold, including suffering one of the Greatest Losses in History, the 2024 Presidential Election, the Democrats 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 – Added together with our future Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and our Country is really SCREWED!” he added.

Trump’s harsh words came after other political leaders reacted to Mamdani’s stunning primary performance Tuesday night, June 24, resulting in his rival, former governor Andrew Cuomo, conceding.

Critics say Zohran Mamdani’s campaign is ‘built on unachievable promises’

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer praised Mamdani, saying, “He ran an impressive campaign that connected with New Yorkers about affordability, fairness, & opportunity.”

But Long Island Representative Tom Suozzi posted on X, “I had serious concerns about Assemblyman Mamdani before yesterday, and that is one of the reasons I endorsed his opponent. Those concerns remain.”



 

Long Island Rep Laura Gillen called out Mamdani, mentioning, “His entire campaign has been built on unachievable promises and higher taxes, which is the last thing New York needs.”



 

“Beyond that, Mr Mamdani has called to defund the police and has demonstrated a deeply disturbing pattern of unacceptable antisemitic comments which stoked hate at a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing,” Gillen added.
