Eric Trump has sharply intensified his criticism of New York City’s incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani, saying that the mayor-elect “hates the Indian population.”
Eric attacked Mamdani, calling the Democratic socialist a “socialist… communist… who wants to nationalise grocery stores and wants to arrest Netanyahu, hates the Jewish people, hates the Indian population.”
The Executive Vice-President of the Trump Organisation insisted that the mayor-elect’s focus is misplaced, arguing he should instead concentrate on fundamental issues like maintaining “safe streets, clean streets, reasonable taxes,” suggesting the city can only succeed “without government intervention.”

Mamdani, who will break several historical barriers when he assumes office on January 1, is poised to become the city’s most left-leaning mayor in generations, as well as its first mayor who is Muslim, of South Asian descent, and born in Africa. He is also set to be the youngest leader in over 100 years.
During his Election Night celebration, Mamdani had a direct message for the US President: “Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up,” adding that if any place can demonstrate how a nation disillusioned by Donald Trump can overcome him, “it is the city that gave rise to him.”
