Wtf did I miss
The Mad King liked Mamdani’s rizz in the moment.
Meanwhile the Democrats have almost 90 dems sign some dumb thing condemning Socialism.
Trump gave a blowjob to Mamdani.
…and we live in such a bizzare timeline that you innitially don’t know if I’m joking.
I’m not against bros blowing bros,
But if that were to happen I’m pretty sure it would not be consensual on Mamdani’s part
Cuomo? 100% wouldn’t have given a 2nd thought and assumed it’s true
The last person who said something nice to him is whoever’s side he’s on, example 5829583920.
Mamdani is awesome anyway, but it’s amusing to see.
Whatever trump said today will be the opposite tomorrow or the next. Smiles today, threaten to hang Mamdani by next Wednesday.
My only fear is that we get another Fetterman incident
If Mamdani had walked back any of his criticisms of Trump I’d agree, but he didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I feel you. We’ve been burned. But I don’t think this is Mamdani burning us.
Okay, Trump suddenly acting amenable is somehow the most unsettling behavior that I can expect from him. Has a second (Third or fourth) stroke hit the white-house? Has the mounting pressure of the Epstein files finally broken him? Did three funny little ghosts visit him last night?
Stay tuned for the next episode of: “America’s Future Hinges On The Whims of A Geriatric, Rapist Sociopath”
Lol at the 3 ghosts reference
It is just not amenability, he fucking showed actual mental agility and maturity when deflecting questions such as “Do you still think he is a fascist” directed at Mamdani. What the actual fuck? Is this guy a robit whose programming changes depending on the situation?
One thing you have to always remember about Donald Trump is: he’s incredibly insecure. His fragile little ego is desperate for approval. It’s why he constantly shitposts on a social media site he owns - so he can get that constant dopamine rush of upvotes and fawning comments and “megadittoes, Mr. President”. And it’s why he’s desperate for the approval of people he considers strong leaders - Putin and Xi and Milei and so on. And when somebody he respects flatters him, he becomes putty in their hands.
Mamdani won decisively in New York. Mamdani proved himself a strong leader. And then, after taking everything Trump could throw at him and coming out on top, Mamdani went to Trump and basically said “I talk a lot of shit about you, you talk a lot of shit about me, but we both know that’s how the game is played and not to take it personally. You do good work and I respect you. We both believe New York is the greatest city in the world so let’s work together to make it great again.”
And Mamdani certainly didn’t have to ask for a meeting with Trump. It probably hurt him with some of his base to talk to Trump at all. So you have this strong man, this leader, this winner, who decisively proved himself the leader of the Democratic Party in New York, with incredible momentum behind him - and he goes to Trump to kiss his ring and ask for his support.
And when a strong man gives Trump the manly validation he craves, he melts like a teenage girl at a David Bowie concert.
Because you also have to remember, Donald Trump has no actual political positions. He doesn’t care about anything except winning - and he loves winners. And whatever Mamdani is, he’s a winner.
Actually the best explanation of Trump being so friendly with him. When I first saw that I had alarms going off in my head, legit the first thought I had was to check if Mamdani has kids (doesn’t look like he has)
I’m very afraid for what this means. I just hope some miracle happens, and Trump becomes a commie.
I mean, yeah, we could all be wrong and this could just be another politician, like all the rest. But let’s hope not.
I don’t think the USA can handle the amount of aura farming that Mamdani has been doing recently.
Trump gushing over a dem-soc was not on my bingo card
he’s trying (failing) to poison pill him. “Look at us, we’re good friends! if you don’t trust me, don’t trust him.”
I doubt he’s that smart, he’s senile, his opinion is based on whoever was nice to him last. He literally said he never heard of his policies from TV (insane admission of incompetence which we already knew about).
someone on lemmy said that’s why we have a gereontocracy, they are so easy to manipulate with lobbyists and owning the tv channels they watch.
I do wonder if people have never met a senior in cognitive decline.
If you have you start to see the signs in a lot of the old people in Congress and the white house.
Trump can’t remember what he did last week.
Would be a big plot twist if Mamdani is aligned with Saudis and he start to help Trump…
Kinda hard to imagine this since he’s Shia and Saudis has a hate boner against the Shiites.
What’s he going to do? Rebuild the twin towers so the Saudis can knock them back down again?
Right cause all Muslims are the same exact person. /s
Did the Saudis order Trump to stop picking on the Muslim guy?
Ding ding ding!
He might also be doing a runaround on NY gov Hochul re: securing state funding for his NYC program agenda. It puts lots of pressure on her to play nice with him.
This meeting most likely benefits Trump more than Mamdani. This gives Trump an opportunity to sweep the vile racism of the final weeks of the campaign under the rug, and lets him appear to be concerned about the working class and affordability.
I’m sure Mamdani and his team understood this but are willing to butter him up so that Trump doesn’t send ICE and the national guard into NYC.
Maybe they cut some kind of a deal?
Trump sucked him off. He’s the new bubba
Really though, I think Trump is trying to do “affordability by proxy” to bring his poll numbers back.
Unfortunately for republicans if Trump came out as a gay jewish trans man who was setting MAGA supporters on fire they might still support him out of sheer spite to democrats because of like decades of media inertia.
I was not expecting Mamdani to meet with Trump, but looking back it makes sense. Butter him up, and he’ll support anyone. If Elon Musk and JD Vance could get Trump’s support by glazing him, anyone can.
Trump has flip-flopped on positions repeatedly. Gun control, LGBTQ+ rights. It’s all ego for him. Always has been. I guess all you need to do is sweet talk him the right way.
What the hell is HAPPENING
We just need to explain to them that their leader recognizes a strong Man-Date when he sees it.
I’m waiting for them to all start sucking eachothers dicks and taking pictures of it ….see no big deal we all do it fuher
Give them about 30 more seconds
