Trump shared a post on his Truth Social account regarding the primary election results in New York.
"It finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line. Zohran Mamdani, a 100 percent communist lunatic, won the Democratic primary and is on his way to becoming Mayor," Trump stated, arguing that while there had been "radical leftists" in the party before, Mamdani's victory was "a bit ridiculous."
Using the phrases "He looks terrible, his voice is shrill, he's not very smart" to describe Mamdani, Trump commented, "All the fools support him."
In another post on the subject, Trump noted that he had an idea to get the Democrats back "in the game," suggesting that Texas Democratic House Representative Jasmine Crockett should be the US presidential candidate in the next election, and that New York Democratic House Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani should be brought into the cabinet at a high level.
Trump stated, "Our country is really in trouble."
In the Democratic Party's mayoral primary held in New York City yesterday, New York State Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani emerged as the winner according to unofficial results in the race for candidates who will compete in the election to be held on November 4.
Mamdani, a Muslim candidate of Indian descent and Ugandan birth who stands out with his democratic socialist identity, surprised traditional Democratic Party supporters by surpassing his most significant rival, 67-year-old former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
