"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. We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous," Trump posted to Truth Social.
"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!"
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Trump Jr. echoed a similar sentiment, saying it could be the "greatest marketing campaign for Florida," which has become a haven for ex-New Yorkers and is currently led by conservatives.
