Trump calls the pioneer of mayor of New York Mamdani `my little communist ”

President Donald Trump has a new nickname for Zohran Mamdani, who is the clear pioneer during the New York election for the mayor.

“I call her my little communist. It is my little communist mayor,” said Trump about Mamdani during an interview in the studio extended Friday on “Fox and Friends” of Fox News.

The legislator of the 33 -year -old Democratic Socialist State of the New York Queen’s arrondissement shocked the political world in June with his convincing victory over former governor Andrew Cuomo and nine other candidates to capture the appointment to the mayor of the Democratic Party in the most populated city in the country.

Mamdani offers to eliminate prices on the vast New York bus system, making CUNY (City University of New York) rents) “without tuition fees”, rents on municipal housing, offering “free daycares” for children until the age of 5 and the establishment of spices managed by the government.

After Mamdani’s main victory, Trump immediately criticized him as a “100% communist madman”.

The president continued to make fun of Mamdani several times as a communist in the months that followed, while warning that New York would become “a communist city” if Mamdani won the elections at the town hall in November.

“We should never be in a position where we are talking about a communist,” said Trump in his Fox and Friends interview.

The Mamdani, born Ugandan, who would become the first Muslim mayor and first millennium in New York, if it were elected, denied being a communist.

With less than two months before election day, Mamdani has a dominant advance on his rivals mayors in the city dominated by the Democrats, according to two new polls.

Mamdani is seated on meters of 22 points on Cuomo and the rest of the field in the surveys published this week Quinnipiac University and New York Times / Siena College.

The co-founder of Guardian Angels, Curtis Sliwa, who, for a second consecutive election, is the republican candidate for the town hall in the city dominated by the Democrats, was a third far from the two polls, with the mayor as a outgoing president besieged Eric Adams, which takes place as independent after having decided to jump the primary anemic democrat, further.

Sliwa and Adams have repeatedly committed to staying in the race in recent weeks in the midst of several reports that Trump advisers have exercised administration roles for the mayor’s two hopes if they abandoned.

Trump, a native New York who now calls Florida at home, urged the narrow field to defeat Mamdani.

“I would like to see two people abandon and be one over it. And I think it’s a race that could be won,” Trump said last week.

On Friday, the president said in his interview with “Fox and Friends”, I think they must have a stay. And he would look like me like Cuomo frankly leads the other two. “

But he added that Cuomo is “still late. It almost seems that even a candidate would not work at this stage”.

“I am not looking at the polls too carefully, but it would seem that he will win and it is a rebellion. It is a rebellion against the bad candidates, ok? They are tired,” added Trump.

Trump also criticized Sliwa.

“Listen, I am a republican, but Curtis is not exactly great listening hours,” said the president.

Sliwa, in a digital interview Fox News last month, said that he had “had no conversation with President Donald Trump, whom I knew over the years”.

“We had a romantic relationship. Everyone knows it,” added Sliwa.
