Trump Labels Zohran Mamdani a “100 % Communist Lunatic” After NYC Primary Upset
Washington, D.C. – June 26, 2025
In a fiery post on Truth Social, U.S. President Donald Trump unleashed a fierce verbal attack on the up-and-coming progressive figure, Zohran Mamdani, right after Mamdani’s surprising victory in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary
“Mamdani looks terrible, has a raspy voice, is not very smart. He is 100% a communist lunatic,” Trump wrote. “Even our great Palestinian Senator Chuck Schumer is bowing to him now. This is how low the Democrats have stooped!”
Trump’s post, which featured some sarcastic compliments for Rep. Jasmine Crockett along with digs at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the wider progressive faction, quickly went viral. It reignited the cultural battle lines in America and highlighted the growing tensions between moderate and progressive Democrats.
Who Is Zohran Mamdani?
Mamdani, a 33-year-old Assemblyman hailing from Queens, proudly identifies as a Democratic Socialist. He’s made quite a name for himself with his strong pro-Palestinian views, backing the BDS movement (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions), and advocating for holding Israel accountable in international courts.
His unexpected win over the establishment’s favorite, Andrew Cuomo, in the Democratic mayoral primary took national political watchers by surprise.
His platform includes:
Defunding police in favor of community investment
Rent control and public housing expansion
U.S. disengagement from Israeli military support
Trump’s Strategy: Culture War Reloaded
By labeling Mamdani as the face of the “radical left,” Trump is really leaning into a crucial strategy for his reelection: casting Democrats as out-of-touch extremists who don’t understand the everyday American.
When he brings up “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer” — a well-known pro-Israel Democrat — bowing to Mamdani, it’s a clear signal of how much progressives have influenced the party.
This tactic mirrors Trump’s previous approach — highlight a prominent progressive figure, then portray the entire Democratic Party as being run by “radicals.”
Political Fallout: Democrats on Edge
Mamdani’s victory has really fired up progressives, but it’s also causing some serious concern among centrist Democrats. Many top strategists are worried that his views on foreign policy and his socialist label might turn off suburban and Jewish voters in crucial battlegrounds for 2026.
On the flip side, progressives are reveling in this moment, seeing it as a major shift in urban politics — a clear sign that the party’s base is ready to embrace bold ideas on global justice and local reform.
What Comes Next?
NYC Mayoral Race: Mamdani now faces a Republican opponent in the general election, but his polarizing profile ensures national attention.
Democratic Divide Widens: Expect more intra-party clashes as figures like AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Mamdani reshape the party’s priorities.
Trump’s 2026 Playbook: Culture war politics, urban fear-mongering, and anti-communist rhetoric are clearly back on the table.
