Trump Calls Mamdani 'Communist Lunatic'
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|June 27, 2025
US President Donald Trump described Indian-American Zohran Mamdani, the expected Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, as a "Communist Lunatic," signaling how Republicans will seek to portray the upstart politician as representative of the party.
NEW YORK:
"It's finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line," Trump said on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday after Mamdani, a self-described Democratic Socialist, recorded a significant lead against Andrew Cuomo, forcing the former New York governor to concede the primary race.
If elected in November's general election, Mamdani would be New York's youngest mayor in a century, its first Muslim mayor, and the first person of South Asian descent to lead the city.
