No! Only dems bad, no third thing!

But srs yeah I think that’s exactly it. Trump was charmed and wanted some of his mojo. Mamdani probably “said very nice things about [him]” which is a big deal for him, and Mamdani thereby jiu-jitsu’ed the fascists in the White House who now have to tread on eggshells all night while they work with trump’s television to get him back in the furious zone.

I mean. Trump so desperately wants NYC to love him, he’ll do anything, and Mamdani was smart enough to let him.
