'A Line Has Been Crossed': President Trump Denounces Democrats' Embrace of Socialist Candidate in New York

The Democratic Party’s lurch toward radicalism has reached a perilous new milestone with the nomination of socialist assemblyman Zorhan Mamdani in the New York City mayoral primary, a development that President Donald J. Trump is condemning as a grave threat to the nation’s foundational values.

In a series of blistering posts on Truth Social, the President warned that the Democratic establishment has fully surrendered to its most extreme elements by elevating a candidate openly hostile to free-market principles and American sovereignty.

“It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line,” President Trump declared on Wednesday.

“Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. 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.”

The President added pointedly, “Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!”

In a subsequent message, President Trump used satire to expose the Democrats' self-destructive trajectory, sarcastically advising them to double down on their embrace of the far-left.

“I have an idea for the Democrats to bring them back into ‘play,'” he wrote. “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!”

The President’s stark warning cuts to the heart of the matter. Mamdani’s victory is not merely a local affair but a chilling preview of the Democratic Party’s agenda for America. Endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, his platform is a laundry list of failed Marxist policies, including a fiscally ruinous $30-an-hour minimum wage and the establishment of state-run grocery stores, which would decimate small businesses and stifle competition.

Further revealing his radical worldview, Mamdani has pledged to use the office of mayor to pursue a warrant from the International Criminal Court for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a brazen attack on a key American ally. His allegiance to the "defund the police" movement, which he tied to the cause of "queer liberation" in a 2020 social media post, demonstrates a clear disregard for public safety and the rule of law.

Questions about Mamdani's allegiance to the United States are further amplified by his family’s own words. In a 2013 article in the Hindustan Times, his Indian-American filmmaker mother, Mira, was quoted as saying of her son: “He is a total desi. Completely. We are not firangs at all. He is very much us. He is not an Uhmericcan [American] at all.” The terms “desi” and “firang” translate roughly to “countryman” and “foreigner,” respectively, raising serious concerns about the candidate’s primary loyalties.

Despite this deeply troubling record, the Democratic Party’s leadership has rushed to legitimize Mamdani. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries—both New Yorkers who should know better—offered their congratulations. They were joined by Rep. Ilhan Omar, who celebrated his victory on social media with the Arabic phrase “Alhamdulillah!”—a clear signal of the party's continued drift from America’s Judeo-Christian heritage.

In November, Mamdani will face Republican nominee and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, as well as incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent. While New York City’s political landscape heavily favors Democrats, Mamdani's nomination serves as a wake-up call to all Americans. The radical Left is no longer at the gates; the Democratic Party has invited them in and handed them the keys to one of the world's most important cities. This is the ideological battle for the soul of America, and as President Trump has made clear, the stakes could not be higher.
