On 21 November, Donald Trump — the leader of the American right — met with Zohran Mamdani — the rising star of the American left. While many expected a Zelensky-style showdown, others predicted the president would continue his uninterrupted run of fawning over hot winners: trump loves winners, he has a unique eye for talent […]

This timeline is making some wild turns.

My bet is that dumpy just wants to TRY to win back some public favor by cozying up with a candidate who has massive public support.

Or it could just be a tactic to create more of the famous Left infighting.

I think the real question is, has Trump ever met with someone and not liked them afterward. Like most of the people he meets with he heaps praises on, until he's forgotten about them.

Pretty sure this is just his mental decline kicking in.

Trump is actually a socialist - at least among the elite. He's been giving out more than he keeps, to everyone, not discriminating between allies, enemies, dictators or family. When he runs out of money, he'll turn into a communist - just wait and see!

That's certainly a take. It's just... Kinda sad, really.

Sees capitalist doing capitalist things under capitalism: Is this socialism? ^🦋^🤔

I wonder if Mamdani has some serious compramat on Trump, like "look, I have proof that you had to use bribes to get the Trump tower built. Heel, or I'll hand this to the courts tomorrow and have the tower demolished"

no, he just knows the game.

trump is dumb as shit, clearly suffering from accelerated dementia, and most importantly...is a narcissist who literally doesn't care or believe in anything beyond "how are the ratings?".

there's a dozen different ways Mamdani could have convinced him they were best buds, making a complete ass out of trump on to his base and trump is too far gone to even realize it

Well, just like with Elmo the marriage can be over tomorrow if he wakes up and somehow decides that he now hates him again.

Trump has dementia so he probably has loose object permanence and will forget all about liking Zohran.
