Trump Says Indian-Origin NYC Mayor Candidate “Looks Terrible”
Launching a personal attack on 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a self-declared democratic socialist and Indian-origin candidate for New York City Mayor, U.S. People are laughing at him. This is not the kind of person we want running America’s biggest city.”
Mamdani, known for his progressive policies and grassroots activism, has recently gained national attention after a surprising lead over former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary. Trump’s remarks have been widely condemned by progressive leaders, with many accusing him of resorting to racist and personal insults instead of addressing policy differences.
Despite the attack, Mamdani’s supporters have rallied behind him, calling Trump’s comments a desperate attempt to smear a rising political figure. “This is exactly why we need change,” one supporter said. “People like Trump feel threatened when someone who represents real people begins to rise.” Mamdani has not officially responded to Trump’s statements.
New York: U.S. President Donald Trump has unleashed a blistering attack on Indian-origin leftist Zohran Mamdani following Mamdani’s victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary election.
“It’s finally happened — the Democrats have crossed the line,” Trump wrote.
Trump didn’t stop at Mamdani. He also went after progressive powerhouses like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for backing Mamdani. “These people are destroying our cities,” Trump added.
While Mamdani has yet to publicly respond to Trump’s remarks, his campaign has continued to gather momentum, with grassroots supporters hailing his victory as a win for working-class New Yorkers. Critics, however, warn that Trump’s incendiary rhetoric could further polarize an already deeply divided political climate.

In a separate post, Trump sarcastically suggested Democrats should nominate “Low IQ Candidate, Jasmine Crockett, for President,” saying it would “get them back in play.” He further mocked the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, recommending that “AOC+3” — his derogatory nickname for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and fellow Squad members — be given Cabinet positions.
His stunning primary win came after former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded. Mamdani secured 43.5 percent of the vote with 90 percent of ballots counted. The victory marks a significant shift in New York’s political landscape and has ignited national debate.
