President Trump scoffed at being compared to mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani — quipping that he’s “much better looking” than the “communist” candidate.
Trump dropped the remark during his “60 Minutes” interview on Sunday night when he was questioned about possible similarities between him and the 34-year-old socialist.
“Some people have compared him to a left-wing version of you — charismatic, breaking the old rules. What do you think about that?” CBS correspondent Norah O’Donnell asked.
“Well, I think I’m a much better-looking person than him, right?” Trump shot back.
Elsewhere, the president ripped Mamdani as a “communist” — arguing the mayoral front-runner was “far worse than a socialist.”
Trump, who once described Mamdani as “my little communist mayor”, warned the Democrat would destroy the Big Apple if elected.
He insisted, too, that Mamdani would make former Mayor Bill de Blasio look good.
“I think he’s probably gonna make de Blasio look great. I think he will make de Blasio look like one of our great mayors,” Trump said.
“I got to see de Blasio, how bad a mayor he was, and this man will do a worse job than de Blasio by far.”
“It’s gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there,” he added.
