Donald Trump didn’t mince words when he exposed Zohran Mamdani for what he is — a far-left radical whose ideas would wreck a city already on its knees. The president blasted Mamdani on social media in blunt, unmistakable language that cut through the usual media cowardice and reminded Americans which side stands for order and common sense.
What should have been a local story turned into a national alarm when Mamdani stunned New York by toppling Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary, proving once again that Democrats will nominate anyone who panders to the most extreme, identity-driven corners of their party. New Yorkers deserve better than experiments in socialism dressed up as “fresh energy”; electoral upsets like this are a warning sign, not a reason to celebrate.
Conservative commentators weren’t surprised to see establishment figures panic — and that panic was put on display in Dave Rubin’s new DM clip with Rudy Giuliani, where Giuliani privately urged a pragmatic line: hold your nose and pick Cuomo over the hard-left alternative. That sort of candid, grim calculus is exactly what voters will be forced to confront as the city chooses between competence and chaotic ideology.
The concern is not just personality politics; Mamdani’s record and rhetoric on policing and public safety are dangerous for a city that still reels from crime and disorder. Experts have pointed out his past calls to defund or dismantle police and his visceral disdain for law enforcement, positions that would make New York less safe and drive the middle class out.
Meanwhile the left’s media machine and online mobs have tried to manufacture outrage and then flip the narrative, weaponizing identity to cover up policy incoherence — a pattern documented in the immediate surge of reactionary attacks and counterattacks that followed Mamdani’s win. Trump’s straight talk shattered the usual friendly fog the establishment rolls out for its favorites, and millions of Americans are waking up to the threat of normalizing socialism in America’s largest city.
Patriots and pragmatic voters should be furious but strategic: call out the radicalism, support sensible law-and-order policies, and don’t let the media’s moralizing blind us to the practical stakes. If that means voting for the least destructive option this cycle, so be it — better a flawed realist than a utopian who will leave New Yorkers paying the price.
