Angelina Jolie’s Dad Urges Donald Trump to Cancel Zohran Mamdani After Landslide Victory

Jon Voight woke up and chose chaos. The 86-year-old actor jumped on X with a two-minute video and asked President Donald Trump to 'terminate' Zohran Mamdani's mayoral win. Not suggest. Not question. 'Terminate.' And because Voight never does subtle, he delivered it in front of a giant American flag and tossed out 'socialist crap city' in the first beat. The internet did what it does.

What Voight actually said

The video went up November 14, 2025. In it, Voight warns that Mamdani is a danger to New York City, calling him everything from a communist to someone who would turn the city into a refuge for so-called radical Muslim ideology. He also went grand and gloomy with lines about this being the most dangerous time for citizens and how Mamdani has no right to dictate socialist rules to a city built on America's highest principles.

'This mayor will destroy this city.'

For extra context, Voight primarily lives in Beverly Hills and now carries the curious title of Trump-appointed special ambassador to Hollywood. He leaned into fear over facts. Mamdani is 34 and identifies as a democratic socialist, not the cartoon villain Voight sketched out.

The part that needs a reality check

Even if Trump wanted to, a U.S. president cannot overturn a mayoral election. That is not how American elections work at any level. Mamdani was legally elected; there is no presidential button marked 'undo' for city races.

Who is Mamdani in this story?

New York's newly elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is a democratic socialist and, as of now, the person voters chose. Voight's framing turns that into an existential threat. It is dramatic, sure. It is also wildly off-base.

The blowback arrived fast

The replies started rolling in within minutes, and they were not gentle. A quick sample from X on November 14, 2025:

• One user posted Voight's photo and called him a washed-up actor and a Trump-boosting idiot.
• Another pushed back on his religious framing: 'There is no radical in my religion, please be respectful Mr Jon Voight.'
• Someone else went for the family jab: 'I can see why your daughter does not associate with you,' dragging Angelina Jolie into a mess she had nothing to do with.
• And one reply went nuclear, labeling Voight a white supremacist and throwing in an unprintable slur for good measure.

Why this blew up the way it did

Voight hit every trigger: apocalyptic language, culture-war buzzwords, a call for presidential interference in a local election. Put that in a two-minute flag-backed monologue and you are basically begging the internet to light it on fire. It did. And once again, a celebrity political rant did the exact opposite of what the ranter wanted: it made the target look unbothered and the speaker look out of touch.
