Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani are the last people you’d expect to get along. Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda, is a Muslim, came to power on a platform of Democratic socialist ideals, and has been firm about his support for immigrant New Yorkers.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, is Donald Trump. During the mayoral campaign, Trump dubbed Mamdani a “100% Communist Lunatic,” a “total nut job,” and repeatedly questioned his citizenship status. He also threatened to cut federal funding to New York City if Mamdani won.
