No, Donald Trump’s claim that New York City mayoral candidate’s platform is akin to communism is false, experts say.

Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old who soared to the lead in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary, describes himself as a democratic socialist. But some politicians and social media posts falsely labelled him a communist.

President Donald Trump called Mamdani “a 100% Communist Lunatic”, in a June 25 Truth Social post.

The Mamdani campaign is following the Obama communications playbook that was detailed in this rather heavy article Rapid-Onset Political Enlightenment: How Obama Built an Omnipotent Thought Machine, and How It Was Destroyed, in Tablet magazine.

This article is one of the pre-staged "permission structure" validator websites intended to convince people that it's okay to support Mamdani.

Fascist is more likely. Islam and fascism go way back together. Playing with words, Totalitarianism is the intent no matter what version they want to argue it is or isn’t.

No; he’s a good and faithful muslim so its is impossible he would be a communist. Otherwise, we’d have to announce a fatwah on his head.
