President Trump slammed Zohran Mamdani on Thursday as a “communist at the highest level” — and argued the Democratic socialist mayoral frontrunner wants to “destroy” the Big Apple.
“In New York, they’re trying to elect a communist,” the president said of Mamdani, 33, during a speech in Des Moines, Iowa.
“The guy who wants to defund the police, take over the stores and run the stores, and have the people hand out goods,” Trump said, noting that “anarchy and dictatorships prevail” when communist regimes inevitably “fall apart”
