Former US President Donald Trump commented on Zohran Mamdani’s win in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, delivering harsh criticisms. Trump targeted Mamdani, making negative remarks about his looks, voice, and intellect. He also criticized the support Mamdani has received from Democrats such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Chuck Schumer. Trump posted his thoughts on Truth Social, where he described Mamdani in a highly negative manner, including labeling him with strong words. Mamdani, a New York State Assembly member, acknowledged his win with a quote from Nelson Mandela. Mamdani, born in Uganda to Indian-American filmmaker Mira Nair and Indo-Ugandan professor Mahmood Mamdani, is the first South Asian man to serve in the New York State Assembly, the first Ugandan, and the only third Muslim ever to be a member of the body.
