Trump Slams NYC's Socialist Mayor Mamdani as 'Communist', Offers to Help 'A Little Bit
President Donald Trump has criticized New York City's new Democratic socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani as a hard-left turn, saying he will 'help them a little bit'. The president described Democrats' new direction under Mamdani as a shift to the extreme left.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday cast New York City's mayoral result for Democrat socialist Zohran Mamdani as a hard-left turn, stating that he would 'help them a little bit' to correct what he perceived as a leftward shift in the city's leadership. Trump's comments came after Mamdani won the Democratic primary and is now likely to face Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa in the general election. The President's remarks were seen as an attempt to mobilize support for the Republican candidate, with some interpreting it as a call to action for his base to take part in the elections. Trump has been critical of Mamdani's progressive policies and views on issues such as housing and taxation.
