NYC meeting: President Donald Trump thanked Mayor Zohran Mamdani for hosting him at Gracie Mansion in New York today and said he hoped he would be a “great” mayor. Trump is in town to attend the United Nations General Assembly, where he will address world leaders tomorrow.
What they discussed: Mamdani said the two discussed the safety of immigrants and building a better New York. Trump said he reminisced about past visits to Gracie Mansion and he also left the door open to supporting a massive housing development plan backed by the mayor.
Are we going to see Trump lavish praise on an attractive strong man in his view, and then see all the conservative outlets that despise Mamdani suddenly try to retcon the events into something bad?
He also praises Kim Jong Un, who is also a “communist” and a dictator and hates America. So this shouldn’t be any different.
Well, except for the part about Mamdani being a communist and hating America, neither of which is true.
That’s why I was using quotes and sarcasm.
🤣 do people really think North Korea is communist?
Hence the quotes.
no, Trump is waiting for new instructions on what he’s supposed to say
Trump is a dumber and louder version of Joe Rogan. Any reasonably confident person can easily sway him… until the next such interaction.
Narcissists are pretty easy to manipulate
That was my mother. A far more intelligent narcissist than Trump, but still easy to shut down once I got tired of her shit.
Namely going full antivax after a fairly prestigious career as a biochemist.
lol. Development plan. After office, hopefully u in jail bruh. Remember all dat fraud u did
Mandani is really courting the devil here. I hope it doesn’t come back to bite him. The way Trump operates, Mamdani is either playing him for the fool he is or he’s in WAY over his head. Hopefully, the former.
If I had to wager I’d say one of them is in way over his head, but it ain’t Mamdani.
I’ve seen enough of both of them to know which one is consistently doing things right.
WTF
Cause Trump agrees with whoever the last person he got something from, be it praise or an invitation. You can leverage that into getting something you want.
Yes Why the Fuck Mamdani hosting Trump?
I mean the bigger question is the other way around. Trump hates Dems with a fiery passion but for some reason he wants to hang out with the socialist?
Mamdani has one of the very few things money cannot buy outright: he is reasonably well liked throughout NYC.
Trump has always wanted that, and now he’s the President and the Most (?) Popular Guy in the City is the mayor, so
- Trump will get plenty of excuses to meet with Mamdani, and
- he will take every single one to try and attach himself to Mamdani’s political success and popularity
The heart wants what the heart wants
He has to, the guy is speaking at the UN
Look, the guy sucks, but Mamdani is representing NYC and its people. He shouldn’t be spurring the president just out of spite when he can instead use him to get something out of him. Trump is an idiot. It’s well known that you can make him do what you want if you just tell him he’s a good boy and pat him on the back. When the alternative is fighting against him withholding funding for NYC, this is the much better option for NYC.
Prolly politics or somethin
Because he’s the President of the United States? Does nobody here have any concept of things like political capital?
Gracie Mansion
He better watch out for omoplatas
