President Heaps Praise on Mamdani and New York’s Future

“We agree on a lot more than I would have thought,” Trump says about Mamdani.

While this public posture is quite a change for the president, Trump has privately complimented Mamdani in recent weeks. I wrote about that recently.

..

Mamdani seems to be slightly uncomfortable with Trump’s flattery. He keeps turning back to his affordability agenda. He brings up that there was a portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whom he admires, at the White House. Trump says Mamdani took a photo with the portrait.

I can't put into words how unsurprising this is. Trump is super gullible, he agrees with the last person he talked to. The reason he's so anti-worker is because he's surrounded by Republicans. If he was surrounded by Socialists, he'd be a Socialist. Basically what I'm saying is that Stephen Miller shouldn't be the shadow president, I should be.
