Jon Voight has called upon President Trump to “terminate” New York City’s mayoral election of Zohran Mamdani. The 86-year-old Oscar-winner, who was appointed the newly invented title of special ambassador to Hollywood by Trump in the first days of his second term, elected to go public with his plea to the president, posting a two-minute speech on social media with an American flag in the background.

“We the people have put our trust in the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. He, and only he, can stop this horror, as this mayor, Mamdani, will try to destroy New York’s wealth and turn it into a socialist crap city,” Voight said in the video. “Let this be a warning to the people and may God bless.”

Voight, whose primary residence is in Beverly Hills, Calif., centered his speech on Islamophobic rhetoric, claiming that New York would “turn into a virtual refugee shelter for the radical Muslim ideology” and that the days after Mamdani’s election have been “the most dangerous time for our citizens.” He also erroneously deemed the 34-year-old Mamdani a “communist” — a characterization that the mayor-elect has refuted, describing himself as a “democratic socialist.”

Notably, the office of the president does not have legal authority to directly remove a New York City mayor from office.

“This mayor will destroy this city. We are obligated to demand our rights for our private sanctuary, our businesses, our property that we all have worked so hard for. And this 35-year-old mayor has no right dictating the rules of socialism for a city built on our highest principles with brick and stone by hard-working Americans,” Voight continued. “This must be stopped and his mayoralty should be terminated immediately. You — the people of the greatest city, New York — are in danger of losing your city to this communist fool.”

Mamdani won the mayoral election in New York with a majority of the vote, beating former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an Independent after first losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary. Mamdani will take office on Jan. 1.

The absolute fear these fuckers live in is truly something to witness.
