Trump Call Zohran Mamdani a “100% Communist Lunatic”

Date: June 27, 2025 | NewsMakers Web Desk

In a scathing outburst posted on Truth Social, U.S. President Donald Trump has unleashed a fierce personal attack on Zohran Mamdani, the Muslim Democratic candidate who just won the party’s primary for New York City mayor. Trump called Mamdani an “extreme communist” and a “100% Communist Lunatic,” sparking political uproar just days after the primary results were announced.

“It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line,” Trump wrote. “Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor.”

Trump didn’t stop there. Criticizing Mamdani’s appearance, intellect, and support base, he added:

“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. All the fools are supporting him.”

Who Is Zohran Mamdani?

Zohran Mamdani, a current member of the New York State Assembly, secured 43.5% of the vote in a competitive race involving 11 candidates — including former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Born in Uganda to Indian Muslim parents, Mamdani is known for his identity as a Democratic Socialist and his outspoken support for Palestinian rights and criticism of Israel’s military actions.

During his campaign, Mamdani pledged to:

• Make public transportation free
• Freeze rent increases
• Increase taxes on wealthy New Yorkers

Political Shockwaves

Trump’s harsh rhetoric underscores the growing tension between traditional conservatives and America’s rising progressive movement. Mamdani’s victory is seen by many analysts as a turning point for progressive Muslim voices in U.S. politics. His strong pro-Palestinian stance and unapologetically socialist policies have won him support from younger, more diverse voters — while triggering outrage from Republican leaders.

Analysis: A New Political Chapter?

Mamdani’s rise is more than a political upset; it’s a potential redefinition of New York’s political future. If elected mayor, he would become one of the most left-leaning and outspoken mayors in modern U.S. history — and the first Muslim of Indian-Ugandan origin to hold the post. Trump’s reaction signals that this is not just a local election but a national flashpoint in America’s ideological battle.
