President Donald Trump branded the Democrats’ new nominee for New York mayor a ‘communist lunatic,’ posting about the ‘radical’ Zohran Mamdani following his stunning win in the Tuesday’s primary.

The post, on Trump’s Truth Social platform, made clear Republicans are eager to highlight the self-described Democratic Socialist to try to make him a new national face of the Democrats, just as Trump got mileage by repeatedly tearing into ‘the squad’ following the election of the outspoken left wingers.

One squad member, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was a key backer for Mamdani, who was also supported by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. 

‘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 wrote.

‘We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. 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!’

Trump has repeatedly tagged Schumer, a Jewish longtime supporter of Israel, as a ‘Palestinian senator.’

His remark that Mamdani is ‘on his way’ would appear to count out current Mayor Eric Adams, who is seeking reelection as an independent. 

The Justice Department called a halt to a criminal prosecution of Adams soon after Trump took office this year and put in new leadership.

Mamdani, 33, who calls himself a Democratic socialist, also termed himself ‘Trump’s worst nightmare,’ and ran on a platform of making New York more affordable with things like free bus service, corporate tax hikes, and affordable housing initiatives.

He said in the Democratic debate: ‘I am Donald Trump‘s worst nightmare, as a progressive, Muslim immigrant who actually fights for the things I believe in.’

Party progressives, who have been stewing over losses and griping over the party’s Old Guard and aging leadership, helped deliver a win even as former President Bill Clinton and other establishment figures backed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Cuomo resigned in 2021 while facing multiple accusations of sexual harassment, which he denied. 

Trump fired off the post as he made his way back to the US on Air Force One after a NATO summit where he tore into CNN as ‘fake news’ over a leaked Iran bomb damage assessment, and vowed to punish Spain in trade talks over its stance on military spending.

Trump was still in a New York state of mind in a subsequent post, where he went after another younger Democrat, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, 44. She has regularly taken on Trump, while drawing controversy clashing with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene or when using foul language, like when she said ‘‘I’m the one that’s supposed to make the F-ing decision on bombing Iran.’

Trump jokingly offered a suggested on how to bring Democrats ‘back in 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, and AOC+3 should be, respectively, Vice President, and three High Level Members of the Cabinet – Added together with our future Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and our Country is really SCREWED!’
