- President Trump mocks New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani after his Democratic primary victory.
- Calls Mamdani a “100% Communist Lunatic” and accuses Democrats of embracing extreme socialism.
- Targets Senator Chuck Schumer, referring to him sarcastically as “our Great Palestinian Senator.”
- Trump links Mamdani’s rise to the influence of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and progressive Democrats.
President Donald J. Trump lashed out at New York progressive Zohran Mamdani and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in a fiery Truth Social post on Thursday, framing Mamdani’s primary victory as a symbol of what he calls the radical left’s takeover of the Democratic Party.
Trump Attacks Mamdani and the Progressive Left
Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist and member of the New York State Assembly, reportedly won the Democratic primary in a local mayoral race, prompting Trump’s reaction. In his post, Trump mocked Mamdani’s appearance and intellect while branding him a “100% Communist Lunatic.”
“AOC+3” and “Cryin’ Chuck” Also Targeted
Trump tied Mamdani’s rise to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her allies, calling them “AOC+3, Dummies ALL.” He ridiculed their political influence and mocked Senator Chuck Schumer with a controversial jab, calling him “our Great Palestinian Senator.”
The comment appeared to be a sarcastic swipe at Schumer’s shifting tone on Israel and Palestine following recent developments in the Middle East. Trump has previously criticized Schumer for what he considers weak or inconsistent stances on Israel.
Political Context
The post reflects a broader theme in Trump’s 2025 re-election campaign: portraying Democrats as being overrun by extreme socialists. By invoking Mamdani’s background and the Palestinian issue, Trump is also signaling to pro-Israel and conservative voters wary of the Democratic Party’s progressive shift.
As of now, neither Mamdani nor Schumer has issued a public response to the remarks. The post has stirred online debate, with critics accusing Trump of inflaming identity politics and supporters praising him for calling out “radical” elements in the opposition.
