    I’m past caring about this meaningless symbolic shit.

    When Zohran does what he says he’ll do, I’ll get excited.

    Mamdani is a fucking wizard. I heard some of this press conference - trump was actually defending mamdani against both liberal press and fox news questions

    I want so badly to have been a fly on the wall for that meeting. But ultimately it does kind of make sense: they are both “anti-establishment” candidates in their own ways, and trump desperately needs a popularity boost.

      As far as I can tell Mamdani doesn’t really attack or even acknowledge his opponents unless he’s forced to do so. So I imagine the meeting was all about how Mamdani wants to fix New York by matching New Jersey’s tax rate and cleaning up the city council. I can see why Trump would try to ride that wave rather than fight it.

        You’re giving Trump a bit too much credit for thinking and planning. His dementia is really off the cliff, as in, scary bad. Everything he says or does is how he’s feeling in the moment. OR, what his handlers have carefully molded him to say or believe.

    What the fuck.

    This video’s telling me that if we’d surround this pig with leftists, he’ll be espousing proper communism in a fucking week?

    I want off this whiplash ride.

      He’s been swinging wildly between backing Zelensky and Putin based on which of them talked to him most recently. He goes on social media tirades and makes executive orders based on what he saw on Fox News the night before.

      He’s literally a demented old man who’s extremely suggestible because his brain is swiss cheese.

      *socialism.

      Also, it’s been no secret that if you compliment Trump he’ll be ready to garble your balls. He’s a simple old man.

    “I mean, just look at that well-kept beard. I like a well-kept beard,” remarked Trump. Both Mamdani and Vance suddenly felt a chill and started sweating, but for entirely different reasons.

    This one’s easy.

    Trump is happy in the top one because he’s the only narcissist in the room.

    Trump is unhappy in the bottom one because Elon is another malignant narcissist, who is stealing Trump’s spotlight.

    Not for nothing, but does anyone else notice that Trump now has the military service flags behnd him?

    Nice touch, symbolizing his dominance over the military and using the flags to establish it, to the masses.

    On the actual note related to the photos, I don’t doubt that Mamdani had Trump eating out of his hands. Now if he can maintain a good communications channel, he might be able to leverage some benefits for New Yorkers out of it.

      It’s shocking how little it takes to get Trump on your side. He basically only remembers the last person he talked with.

    Haven’t seen trump beaming up at someone like that since him and ole Slick Willy were running around

    Edit:

    Someone needs to compile all of these in an album, they’re gold

    https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/11/1440/810/trump-mamdani-2.jpg?ve=1&tl=1

    Looks like he’s about to gobble it up right at Bill’s desk like the old days lmao

    Edit again:

    https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/democrat-new-york-city-meet-115980063.jpg?quality=75&strip=all

    Dude just drooling waiting for him to walk in…

    I gotta watch the video now, this shits ridiculous

    More edit:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptzw8efnogo&pp=ygUQVHJ1bXAgbWFtZGFuaSBhcA%3D%3D

    The Associated Press video starts with a Blair Witch intro leading into an extreme close up of Trump’s neck vagina

    America’s officially jumped the shark.

    Last edit:

    Timestamp is 24:00, when asked if Mamdani was the future of the Democratic Party.

    It’s 2025, and trump and the chair of the DNC have both gone on record saying a 34 year old Muslim socialist is the future of the Dem party and meant it positively.

    Shit is getting wild, and it’s not slowing down.

        Yeah, they’re clearly walking in and setting up a tripod, was probably an accidental zoom even.

        Just fucking ridiculous it’s in the video.

        The whole thing is crazy, they just asked Mamdani if trump was a fascist…

        Mamdani tried to give a diplomatic answer, and trump just laughs and said “just say yes, it’s easier” and moves on with a smile.

        Like, I’ve legitimately never seen trump as president happier than this video. I’m 15 minutes in, and he hasn’t dozed off and when he doesn’t know an answer he just lets Mamdani do it.

        This is exactly why people shouldn’t resign in protest, people like trump are easily steered, and it’s better than leaving him surrounded by the worst of society if you can pull him back

          Trump laughing and blowing off being called a fascist looked like the way he was before he become president. He’s always been a raging asshole and narcissist, but he used to understand the value of using self-deprecation to play to a crowd.

    Musk has more money than Trump, and Musk doesn’t kiss ass.

    Mamdani isn’t a billionaire, and he knows how to play the room. He’s not a threat to Trump’s ego.
