“FAKE NEWS”: After 16-0 Election Night, Trump Accuses Media of Giving Mamdani the Spotlight

Jun 24, 2026·2 min read

President Donald Trump today took aim at what he described as disproportionate media attention surrounding New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, while highlighting what he said was a near-perfect record of success for candidates he endorsed in recent elections.

In a post published on Truth Social, Trump contrasted the widespread coverage of Mamdani’s recent political success with what he characterized as a lack of media interest in his own influence on Republican primary races across the country.

“Mayor Mamdani pulled through 3 solid Communists, and has received loud and universal applause from the Fake News Media,” Trump wrote. “Congratulations Mr. Mayor!”

Trump then shifted focus to a slate of primary elections held Tuesday night, claiming that all 16 candidates he backed emerged victorious.

“I went 16-0 last night, helping to elect wonderful American Patriots, and the Media doesn’t say a word,” he wrote.

The president further argued that his endorsements have consistently translated into electoral success over the past two years, citing a record of 259 primary victories.

“Over the last two years, my endorsement has netted 259 Primary WINS, and almost no losses, with Zero media attention!!!” Trump stated.

The post concluded with one of Trump’s longstanding criticisms of mainstream news outlets, writing simply: “FAKE NEWS. President DJT.”
