Trump and Zohran Mamdani trade barbs over looks and intelligence post-election
A public exchange over appearances has unfolded between former US President Donald Trump and New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. The comments began after Mamdani’s Democratic nomination win, with Trump criticising his looks and intelligence. The discussion later involved a well-known TV interviewer drawing a political comparison between the two men.
The dispute started when Trump reacted to Mamdani’s victory in the Democratic primary. He described the newly elected official as looking terrible and claimed he was not very smart. This wasn’t the first time Trump had commented on Mamdani’s appearance—he had previously stated he was hotter than the mayor-elect.
The question of who is more attractive remains open to personal opinion. Officials have not weighed in, leaving the public to assess the released photos. The exchange highlights how political figures sometimes engage in personal disputes beyond policy debates.
