A lot of people really, really don’t know how to read others and how to manage a character like Trump.
For Mamdani it was a fucking dog-walk, because he knows people, he’s emotionally intelligent, he’s very, very crafty too. Don’t let the sometimes goofy charm fool you, he’s extremely focused and sharp and careful about everything he says. He just has it down so it looks natural.
Not saying he’s not a genuine person, but he also knows the game like he was born to it.
For the rest of the Dems? I mean… there are a few people who have a lot of spirit and fire, but that’s not how to make Trump bend the knee, you have to really understand his buttons and you can’t meet his obstinance and stupidity with force.
I think a few who were good at working trump in his first administration did do this too - but as you say, there’s fewer than you’d think; and I think when his handlers figured out this was happening, they started scheduling Republicans to meet him right after to “correct” his mindset.
Trump was a Democrat back when he was handing out BJ’s. Probably got his anger from a scorned lover situation.
Anyway, I think Republicans all have a carry card that says “Trump meeting rules: 1: kiss his ass. 2: tell him to never meet alone with cheating Democrats”
Over the years he forgot that cheating was about his male lover and thinks it’s about elections.
Bubba told him he was the only one, but then bubba cheated on him with Lewinsky… that made trumpy so angry that he decided to figure out how to run for office.
Why don’t all of the left leaning politicians then make it a point to just continually schedule 1 on 1 meetings with him?

The stench probably.

Their constituents would slaughter them for appearing to cooperate with Trump.
