Donald Trump is no fan of Andrew Cuomo’s, but that did not stop him from expressing shock and dismay over his defeat by Democratic Socialist and AOC Acolyte Zohran Mamdani. The President blasted Mamdani’s politics – and looks – Wednesday after the socialist’s stunning upset in New York’s Democratic mayoral primary.
“Democrats have crossed the line” by elevating “100% Communist Lunatic,” Trump railed in a Truth Social post.
“We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous,” he added.
The President then attacked Mamdani’s appearance and speaking voice.
“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,” Trump wrote.
The AOC+3 label is likely in reference to the so-called “Squad” in Congress, a progressive group including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).
Trump also mentioned Mamdani in a sarcastic follow-up post about how Democrats can get back to winning on a national stage.
“The Democrats should nominate Low IQ Candidate, [Congresswoman] 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!” Trump stated.
The President’s salvo of insults comes as the political world in New York and beyond reacts to the Democratic socialist’s stunning primary performance that all but locks up the Democratic nomination for the mayoral election in November.
The Queens state assemblyman’s victory was a shocking upset for former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ultimately conceded the primary race after trailing by about 70,000 votes.
US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), whom Trump referenced in his Truth Social post, tweeted that he called Mamdani and looks forward to meeting with him soon.
“He ran an impressive campaign that connected with New Yorkers about affordability, fairness, & opportunity,” Schumer wrote.
Cuomo’s replacement, Gov. Kathy Hochul, who could either help or hurt Mamdani’s agenda if he’s elected mayor, also commended the race the lefty ran.
But other lawmakers were less congratulatory, including moderates in his own party.
“I had serious concerns about Assemblyman Mamdani before yesterday, and that is one of the reasons I endorsed his opponent,” Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) said on X. “Those concerns remain.”
Meanwhile, fellow Long Island Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY) lamented that Mamdani is “too extreme” for New York City.
“His entire campaign has been built on unachievable promises and higher taxes, which is the last thing New York needs,” she said in a statement.
“Beyond that, Mr. Mamdani has called to defund the police and has demonstrated a deeply disturbing pattern of unacceptable antisemitic comments which stoke hate at a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing.”
It’s unclear if Cuomo will continue his election fight into November on an independent line. Mayor Eric Adams, who is full steam ahead on an independent line, and Republican Curtis Sliwa will be going up against Mamdani in the general.
