Trump Tears Into ‘Marxist Lunatic’ Mamdani, Honors American Heroes In Bold Rebuke

Speaking at the America250 kickoff event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Thursday, President Donald Trump took aim at Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for New York City mayor who has made openly communist statements, declaring, “Generations of Americans before us did not shed their blood only so that we could surrender our country to Marxist lunatics on the eve of our 250^th year.”

Mamdani has made openly Marxist statements such as “the end goal of seizing the means of production,” while iterating, “we have to continue to elect more socialists.”

“As you know, recently we’ve seen some in our political system attempting to overthrow the timeless American principles and pillars of our liberty and replace them with some of the most noxious ideas in human history; ideas that have been proven false,” President Trump stated. “Members of Congress and even former presidents have been openly embracing vile creeds such as socialism, Marxism, and straight-up communism.”

Then he turned to Mamdani: “In New York, they’re trying to elect a communist, Zohran Mamdani, the guy who wants to defund the police, take over the stores, and run the stores and have the people hand out goods. And when everything falls apart, it always does; it always works that way; it never has worked any other way, anarchy and dictatorships prevail.”

“This guy is a communist at the highest level and he wants to destroy New York,” he asserted. “I love New York and we’re not gonna let him do that. Generations of Americans before us did not shed their blood only so that we could surrender our country to Marxist lunatics on the eve of our 250^th year.”

Trump then made a fateful promise, finishing with a flourish: “As President of the United States, I am proclaiming here and now that America is never going to be communist in any way, shape, or form. “

“And that includes New York City,” he concluded.
