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.
ngl, Trump falling for the new demsoc mayor of NYC's rizz was not on my 2025 bingo
42 year old here.
..........is it weird that I know what rizz is, but I'm only assuming I know what demsoc is based on context?
38 year old here:
I'm gonna give it to the zoomers for coming up with some solid slang with Rizz.
"rizz em with the tism" is my go to bio line
From CNN:
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was pressed Friday on whether he believes President Donald Trump is a fascist.
Standing beside his host in the Oval Office, Mamdani began to answer – until the president, seated, interrupted.
“That’s OK – you can just say yes. That’s easier. It’s easier than explaining,” Trump told his guest, laughing it off as he playfully tapped Mamdani on the arm.
TFW the fascist agrees he is a fascist
But the two were all smiles throughout, with Trump even siding with the soon-to-be first Muslim mayor of New York over one of his GOP allies, Rep. Elise Stefanik, who’d called Mamdani a “jihadist.”
“She’s out there campaigning and you say things sometimes in a campaign,” Trump said of Stefanik, who’s running for governor of New York. “I met with a man who’s a very rational person. I met with a man who wants to see New York be great again.”
Well that's not what I expected...
Seriously, he was just threatening to deport him and his family like a week ago. Demented fuckhead.
This is the first I'm hearing of this. And, I seriously can't tell whether you're joking.
Not for the first time, recently, I ask, "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!"
The ruling class wear ideology like a suit. It’s political theatre. Power only ever serves itself, right/left have no meaning at the top.
I’ve seen some word that Trump probably just thinks Mamdani is using “fascist” as a political pejorative - in the same way republicans call their political opponents “communists” or “radical left socialists”.
ಠ_ಠ
They attacked Trump when he used to be pro-vax.
I still can't believe he was publicly pro-vaccines. "Take them", he said, and the public booed. I was shocked.
He was being pragmatic honestly. A major part of his constituents are older folks who are more vulnerable. Probably didn’t want any potential voters dying off
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.
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.
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"
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.
I can't even say Mamdani has dirt on him because what the fuck is there left to blackmail?
MAGA for sure will have a whiplash today but Trump's change of mind is consistent with my theory that he only cares about two things:
Everything else is just a distraction. Trump doesn't give a shit who's the mayor of NYC. He will post couple of truths about it but now the important thing is to get back to making billions on crypto and getting shitloads of bribes.
I personally like Vaushs theory that he really likes people with spine, even if they're politically opposed to him
As long as theyre not a woman. He hates women. Especially women who oppose him.
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.
Literally yesterday at my local diner some dipshit MAGA was complaining that Mamdani was going to give away free food. Just hated the idea of food for the poor.
Dude doesn't like what's in the Bible he swears he read.
Matthew 25:41-46 seems explicitly targeted at modern republicans:
‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,
I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
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
I've just remembered that enough people voted both AOC for House and Trump for president that she did a livestream about it asking them why.
Some people really believed that Trump would lower prices. Mamdani and AOC, being dem-soc, focus on people's basic necessities. As wild as it sounds, there's actually a link between Trump and the dem-socs. Trump has made some left-wing promises on the economy, which, of course, he has failed to keep, and associating himself with Mamdani might improve his approval on the economy if Mamdani succeeds. Maybe Trump will try to take credit for what Mamdani may succeed to do in NYC
Some people really believed that Trump would lower prices.
anyone who actually believed that after the first four years is a fucking idiot that needs to have their head examined.
was four years of chaos, lies, and millions of deaths not enough for them? maybe the two impeachments? no no, had to be the god damned insurrection on Jan 6!
being a fucking moron is no excuse for voting for that son of a bitch, and I'll never forgive anyone who voted for him more than once.
There's really a lot of idiots out there.
In love? Oh dear. Trump didn't try to... you know...
Trump calls him Daddy Mamdani
I'm sorry
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.
I'm very relieved that he didn't try to detain and deport Mamdani (after publicly threatening to do so), but I'm also definitely not convinced anything be said was genuine. Especially coming on the heels of vaguely threatening to execute any Democrats who oppose him.
Idk if it was a genuine attempt to ingratiate himself with the left before the Epstein files are released, or some other kind of misdirection. Either way, I think anyone opposed to fascism who can remember further back than a goldfish, should know not to let their guard down.
PROTIP: Nothing Trump says is genuine. One day he could say someone is a great person, the next day he'll say that person is nasty or whatever, and the day after that he'll say they're a great person again. Everything is transactional to him and everything he says is entirely dependent on what benefits him personally in that specific moment.
I mean more or less. This is one of the top posts on r/conservative rn
There's some absolute charmers on there.
me too! i actually sold my maga hat and bought a soviet flag and gave away my belongings to a homeless man who needed it more than i do. i cant way to see all the wonderful things socialism will do for NYC!
One of the comments and below that, the reply:
Don't worry. It's for show. Mamdani showed up and kissed the ring like a good boy. Smart move. But Trump isn't dumb enough to trust this guy. And neither should we be.
Yeah I got the sense that Trump was trolling him a bit.
Trump's just a cowardly keyboard warrior, full of bluster when he doesn't have to face his target, with a total lack of impulse control. So he says wild shit that any normal person would understand is completely inappropriate.
But when he is face-to-face, he goes full coward, and smiles, and laughs, and jokes, all of which he does weirdly uncomfortably, because he's an astonishingly broken psychopath, and doesn't have the slightest clue about how to behave like a normal person.
Tomorrow he'll be back to "normal," (for him) and Mamdani will go back to being a Commie.
