President Donald Trump was not thrilled with Zohran Mamdani’s (D) victory speech on Tuesday night, with the commander-in-chief blasting the next mayor of New York City for his “dangerous” and “angry” address.
The president, during an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Special Report on Wednesday, shared his thoughts on Mamdani winning the mayoral election in his hometown. Trump said he was “so torn” on what it meant, because he wants to see NYC do well, but he is skeptical the democratic socialist’s ideas will actually work.
And Trump made it clear he did not like what Mamdani told his cheering supporters after he beat Andrew Cuomo (D) and Curtis Sliwa (R).
“I thought it was a very angry speech. Certainly angry toward me, and I think he should be nice to me,” Trump said. “You know, I’m the one who sort of has to approve a lot of things coming to him, so he’s off to a bad start.”
Baier then asked if Trump heard the part where Mamdani told the president to turn up the volume and said, “Hear me: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”
“It was a very dangerous statement for him to make, actually. You talk about danger, I think it’s a very dangerous statement for him to make,” Trump said. “He has to be a little bit respectful of Washington, because if he’s not, he doesn’t have a chance of succeeding.”
Trump then said he wanted to “make him succeed” — before catching himself and saying he wanted to help NYC succeed.
Baier asked Trump if he plans on reaching out to Mamdani following his win.
Trump paused for a moment and said Mamdani “needs to reach out to us.”
Mamdani’s victory speech went viral on X on Tuesday night and on Wednesday. Some conservatives were riled up that Mamdani said his “movement” included “Yemeni bodega owners” and “Uzbek nurses,” among other nationalities, but did not mention “Americans.”
The 34-year-old also highlighted his democratic socialist approach, saying, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.”
Trump told Baier that socialism and communism have “literally never worked,” and he did not expect that to change with Mamdani running NYC.
