President Donald Trump has pledged to “save” New York City from “Communist Lunatic” Zohran Mamdani, saying in a social media post that he will “save New York City.”

Speaking out on his Truth Social platform Wednesday morning, Trump tore into Mamdani, who won the Big Apple’s Democratic primary last week.

As President of the United States, I’m not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York. Rest assured, I hold all the levers, and have all the cards. I’ll save New York City, and make it “Hot” and “Great” again, just like I did with the Good Ol’ USA!

Trump is no stranger to criticism of Mamdani, who called himself “Donald Trump’s worst nightmare” during a mayoral debate.

Ahead of the primary, he threatened to withhold federal funds from New York City if Mamdani won the race. The president also, at a press conference on Tuesday in Florida, threatened to arrest the mayoral candidate if he followed through on his campaign promise to “kick the fascist ICE out of New York City.”

“We’ll have to arrest him,” Trump said — responding to a question about how he would respond if Mamdani made good on the threat to defy ICE.

In the same news conference, Trump also questioned Mamdani’s U.S. citizenship.

“A lot of people are saying he’s here illegally,” Trump said of Mamdani — who was born in Uganda in 1991, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2018, 20 years after he and his family moved to New York.
