In a highly charged video, Jon Voight publicly delivered a Jon Voight Trump NYC plea, imploring former President Donald Trump to intervene and prevent Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor of New York City. Voight expressed deep concern over the future direction of the city, stating that only Trump could stop Mamdani before significant changes were made.
Concerns Raised Over the Incoming NYC Administration
Voight voiced fears that Mamdani’s leadership would shift New York City’s character dramatically. In the video that circulated on social media, he warned that the new mayor-elect could, in his words, transform New York into “a socialist crap city” and called for drastic measures. He highlighted his apprehension that the city’s legacy, built by generations, might be erased.
“The mayor that has taken over New York City is a Muslim that’s going to take down the city that never sleeps, the city of life’s dreams, this city that our ancestors brought forth in prosperity and greatness and liberty,”
— Jon Voight, Actor
“This city will turn into a forbidden place of darkness. The blood, sweat and tears that the city of New York was built on will turn into a virtual refugee shelter for the radical Muslim ideology. This is now the most dangerous time for our citizens of New York. This mayor will destroy this city.”
— Jon Voight, Actor
Voight’s Call for Protection of City Values
Underscoring what he saw as risks to private property, businesses, and long-established rights, Voight called on the people of New York and on Trump to take action, emphasizing the urgency he felt in stopping the newly-elected mayor. He spoke about the city’s historical foundation and the efforts of hardworking Americans.
“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 hardworking Americans. 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.”
— Jon Voight, Actor
Support for Trump and the Call to Action
Voight addressed his plea directly to Donald Trump, insisting that only the former president held the power to reverse Mamdani’s mayoral victory. Mamdani, who is 34, recently defeated Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa in the election for mayor. Voight argued that the trust of the general population rested with Trump during this pivotal moment in New York’s history.
“We, the people, have put our trust in the president of the United State, Donald J. Trump,”
— Jon Voight, Actor
“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. Let this be a warning to the people.”

Voight’s Ongoing Ties with the Trump Administration
Jon Voight has a long history of supporting Trump, both personally and publicly. After Trump returned to the White House, Voight was named a special ambassador to Hollywood, sharing that recognition with actors Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson. Previously, in 2019, Voight was the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Arts, further linking his name to Trump’s administration and showing his alignment with its policies and values.
Potential Impact on New York City’s Future
This plea from Voight highlights ongoing divisions surrounding the city’s political direction and reflects ongoing anxieties among some public figures about future changes under Mayor-elect Mamdani. The outcome of this high-profile appeal remains uncertain, but its tone and audience are poised to influence public discussion in the coming weeks, with prominent individuals such as Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa already part of the conversation about New York’s leadership transition.
