President Donald Trump reposts a video by conservative commentator Michael Savage that calls for the deportation of “hardcore communist bastards,” naming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. According to reporting, Trump shared the long-form video on Sunday, presenting it to his followers alongside the message that people like Mamdani should be deported.
Savage’s video, posted July 4, argues that democratic socialist candidates running under Democratic Party labels are moving the United States toward socialism. In the material cited by multiple outlets, the segment focuses on communist and socialist framing and includes personal targeting of Mamdani.
The coverage also describes Mamdani as a Democrat and emphasizes the political dispute over his views and affiliation with democratic socialism. Both sources characterize the repost as an amplification by Trump of Savage’s deportation call, though they differ in the broader context they provide around the video’s claims and framing.
