President Trump teased plans to “have a lot of fun” with “nut job” socialist Zohran Mamdani if he becomes mayor of the Big Apple — and called New Yorkers “crazy” for voting for him.

The president blasted the NYC mayoral candidate as a “pure, true communist.”
“Frankly, I’ve heard he’s a total nut job. I think the people of New York are crazy. If they go this route, I think they’re crazy. We will have a communist for the first time, really a pure, true communist,” he said.
Trump’s comments came ahead of his trip to Florida to visit the state’s opening of “Alligator Alcatraz.” Mamdani is the presumptive Democratic nominee to be mayor of New York City following last week’s primary.
