Grating voice, terrible looks, backed by dummies: Donald Trump calls Zohran Mamdani '100% lunatic' after NYC primary win

Zohran Mamdanis victory in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary has triggered a fierce backlash from US President Donald Trump. Labelled a “100% Communist Lunatic,” Mamdani—an Indian-American democratic socialist—has been targeted over his progressive platform and faith. His surprise win over former Governor Andrew Cuomo has energised the left but sparked concern from centrists and conservatives. With the general election approaching, the contest is shaping up as a battle over the soul of the Democratic Party and the future of New York City.
