Former President Donald Trump didn’t mince words on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, describing the Democratic Party as a sinking ship driven by "kamikaze pilots." According to Trump, the Democrats have no clear direction and are pushing their party toward disaster by backing leaders like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and New York City’s Democratic mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani.
"The Democrats are kamikazes right now. They’re kamikaze pilots right now. They have nothing going. They have no future. They have incompetent candidates," Trump stated bluntly, taking aim at figures within the party he feels are leading it astray. Among those he called out was Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), whom Trump dismissed as "a very low-IQ person," suggesting her polling success within the party was baffling.
Trump also couldn’t resist criticizing Ocasio-Cortez, stating, “I watched her the other day, it’s like… you gotta be kidding. This is not going to make our country great.”
But the most striking remarks were reserved for Zohran Mamdani, who is vying for the mayorship of New York City. While Mamdani brands himself as a "democratic socialist," Trump didn’t hold back, labeling him a communist: "And for us to have a communist mayor, looks like we’re going to in New York — he’s not a socialist, he’s a communist," Trump declared. “It’ll be very interesting,” he added, raising doubts about the future of New York under such leadership.
The former president’s fiery comments came as he continued to draw attention to what he sees as the Democrats' self-destructive trajectory. He argued that the party’s continued embrace of leaders like AOC and Mamdani signified its lack of vision, with no real future if they continue down this path.
Trump also briefly addressed the “No Kings” protests, dismissing any comparisons of him to royalty, "They’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king," he clarified.
In the midst of his critique of the left, Trump remained firm on his stance that the Democrats' current trajectory was leading them to an inevitable downfall. His comments underscore his belief that the party is at a crossroads, with radical figures like Mamdani at the helm pushing it further away from mainstream success.
