100% Communist lunatic: Trump rages after Zohran Mamdani wins New York mayoral primary
US President Donald Trump launched a furious attack on Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic socialist, as former New York governor Andrew Cuomo conceded New York City's Democratic mayoral primary election. Mamdani won 43.5 per cent of the vote with 90 per cent of ballots counted.Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to attack Mamdani just a day after the results were announced. In a series of posts, Trump called Mamdani a "100% Communist Lunatic" and mocked him. Trump also criticised other progressive laders who support Mamdani, including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Senator Chuck Schumer.advertisement"It's finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line. Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor," Trump wrote. "We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart, he's got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him. Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!"
Trump didn't stop there. In another post, he mocked the Democratic Party's performance and made fun of other progressive politicians.DEMOCRATS SHOULD NOMINATE LOW IQ CANDIDATE, TRUMP SAYSadvertisement"I have an idea for the Democrats to bring them back into 'play.' After years of being left out in the cold, including suffering one of the Greatest Losses in History, the 2024 Presidential Election, the Democrats should nominate Low IQ Candidate, Jasmine Crockett, for President, and AOC+3 should be, respectively, Vice President, and three High Level Members of the Cabinet – Added together with our future Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and our Country is really SCREWED!" Trump said.MAMDANI'S POLITICAL STANCESince 2021, Zohran Mamdani has been representing Astoria, Queens, in the New York State Assembly. His victory in the mayoral primary indicates that progressive ideas are becoming more popular in the city. His campaign has ambitious plans, like establishing city-run grocery stores, freezing rent increases in rent-stabilized housing, and providing free city buses. These ideas would be funded by a $10 billion tax increase on businesses and wealthy residents.Mamdani has been outspoken on foreign policy. He has taken a strong pro-Palestinian stance, which has made him a target of criticism from pro-Israel groups. He has said that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits New York City, he would have him arrested, referring to the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court in November 2024.Mamdani has also led chants supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement during pro-Palestinian protests. His supporters view him as a bold and much-needed progressive voice for New York.- EndsTune InMust Watch

Is Europe Putin's next invasion target? Trump says it's ‘possible' the Russian President may target more countries
US President Donald Trump has said it is 'possible' that Russian President Vladimir Putin could pursue military ambitions beyond Ukraine. His comments came at a press conference following the NATO summit in The Hague. When asked by Gray TV correspondent Jon Decker whether he believed Putin had territorial ambitions outside Ukraine, Trump said, 'It's possible. I mean, it's possible,' as quoted by the New York Post. He added, 'I consider him a person who I think is misguided.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hung Tien: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo Trump acknowledged the complexity of ending the Russia-Ukraine war, a conflict he once said he could resolve in a single day. Now, he admits it's not so simple. 'Vladimir Putin has been more difficult. Frankly, I've had some problems with Zelensky,' Trump said, referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 'It's been more difficult than other wars.' Live Events 'I know one thing: He'd like to settle, he'd like to get out of this thing. It's a mess for him,' Trump told reporters in The Hague, reflecting on his ongoing attempts to mediate. Sarcasm and strategy: The 24-hour war promise During his campaign, Trump had pledged to end the war in 24 hours. But at the summit, he clarified that the claim was not meant to be taken literally. He described the reality as 'more difficult than anyone had thought', adding that 'Putin is more difficult.' The remarks signalled a shift from his earlier confidence to a more cautious tone about future negotiations. Putin's unexpected phone call In a revealing detail, Trump shared that Putin had recently reached out to him directly with an unexpected offer. 'He called the other day (and) said: 'Can I help you with Iran?' I said no, you can help me with Russia,' Trump said. According to Trump, the Russian president wanted to act as a go-between in the Middle East conflict involving Israel and Iran. But Trump redirected the offer, insisting that Putin focus on his own backyard instead. Trump also confirmed that he held a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the summit. He described the interaction as 'good' but shared few details about what was discussed. On whether the US would supply Kyiv with more Patriot air defence systems, Trump remained cautious. 'We're going to see if we can make some available,' he said, without making any commitments. WWIII Plans: NATO commits to higher defence spend The two-day summit in The Hague concluded with a major announcement. All 32 NATO allies agreed to boost their defence budgets to 5% of GDP by 2035. Trump welcomed the decision and called it a 'big win' for the United States and the broader Western alliance. The increase marks a significant shift in NATO's military posture amid growing concerns about long-term security in Europe. Trump's comments, though brief, raised pressing questions about the next phase of the Ukraine conflict — and whether Putin has his eyes set elsewhere. By framing Putin as a leader caught in a 'mess', but still 'misguided', Trump signalled both critique and caution. The NATO summit reinforced allied unity, but as Trump made clear, diplomacy with Russia remains uncertain. With vague timelines and no solid commitments, the road to peace in Ukraine — and beyond — remains wide open.

After U.S. & Israeli strikes on nuke sites, Iran to go the North Korea way to build nuclear weapons?
Published on Jun 26, 2025 02:38 PM IST Tensions are soaring in the Middle East as U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities spark fears of a major shift in Tehran's nuclear policy. President Trump claimed the attacks "obliterated" key sites, but experts warn it may backfire—pushing Iran to abandon the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and emulate North Korea's secretive nuclear strategy. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf has announced the suspension of cooperation with the IAEA, accusing the international body of bias. As the Guardian Council weighs the bill, inspections at Iranian nuclear sites could soon cease.
