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

"We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous," the president continued before devolving into personal and racist attacks.

"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. Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!"

Mamdani won the Tuesday primary to lead the nation's largest city in a race he described as a referendum on the future of the Democratic Party. His platform centered on making the city affordable through rent freezes, free buses, no-cost childcare, and more.

While Trump appears riled over the primary result, many New Yorkers, Democratic lawmakers, and labor unions have welcomed the 33-year-old state assemblymember's win with enthusiasm.

"The working class is done with business as usual. We were proud to be the first union to endorse Zohran because it’s time for a political movement that puts the working class first," the United Auto Workers posted on X. "Our members spoke out and turned out in a big way – and we’re just getting started."

Trump's fury over Mamdani's win apparently wasn't enough for one Truth Social tirade.

In a second post, the president wrote, "I have an idea for the Democrats to bring them back into 'play.' After years of being left out in the cold, including suffering one of the Greatest Losses in History, the 2024 Presidential Election, the Democrats should nominate Low IQ Candidate, Jasmine Crockett, for President."

"AOC+3 should be, respectively, Vice President, and three High Level Members of the Cabinet," he continued, using a term by which he refers to the Squad in Congress.

"Added together with our future Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and our Country is really SCREWED!"

Mamdani told ABC News in an interview Wednesday, "You know, this is not the first time that President Trump is going to comment on myself, and I encourage him – just like I encourage every New Yorker – to learn about my actual policies to make the city affordable."

In his victory speech, Mamdani vowed to stand up against "Donald Trump's fascism" and his administration's brutal anti-immigrant agenda while serving as a model for the Democratic Party.

The general election for New York City mayor is scheduled for November 4, 2025.
