In a social media post on Monday, Donald Trump called Zohran Mamdani a “Liddle’ communist” and attacked the Democratic governor of New York for supporting the mayoral candidate for New York City.

The US president wrote, “New York Governor Kathy Hochul has Endorsed the ‘Liddle’ Communist.”
“This is a really negative development for New York City and a fairly startling one. How can something like that occur? Washington will be keenly monitoring this issue.
