Donald Trump Jr. shared his thoughts on Marxist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani this week. The First Son said that maybe a failed Mamdani term is the wake-up call NYC needs.
“If what possibly could happen in November happens, I mean, it’s scary and, you know, perhaps that’s what New York needs,” the president’s son told Fox News Digital in New York City on Wednesday.
“Maybe it has to fail to be able to come back, to be able to, you know, put the nail in the coffin of these ideas that have failed so many times around the world.”
“In New York, I think the stat I remembered, it was from like 10 years ago, but it was something like 18,000 people pay 80% of New York City’s city tax,” Trump Jr. said. “Well, those people are all very mobile. They can go wherever they want. This new mayor could possibly be the greatest marketing campaign for Florida ever to exist.”
Trump continued, “But what happens to New York then? And as a lifelong New Yorker, as someone who grew up here, someone who changed the skyline here with my father for many years before he got into politics, that’s a scary notion, but perhaps it’s exactly what America needs. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom, and I think if this communist mayor gets elected, rock bottom is what New York’s going to see.”
Trump Jr.’s business partner Omeed Malik also weighed in on Mamdani.
“If you didn’t see it on the writing on the wall with de Blasio I don’t know what to tell you,” Malik said. “I definitely don’t want those people in Florida because if you haven’t already moved out of here you’ve got the wrong politics.”
Trump Jr. is sharing Mamdani clips on X, illustrating some of his most extreme and dangerous policy positions.
Yea, this guy is definitely not a communist.
