Trump praises Mamdani, counters democrat narratives

[ricachica]

@Elliott 5D chess feels more like not acknowledging he isn’t mayor until January 1st, and that there was no follow up with how the NYPD is above the mayor etc.

When does 5D kick in? Asking for friend.

Since I have been willfully ignored with all other previous points that I have made and instead have been responded with cute phrases and change of subjects…I’ll bite this new one.

 

Bethpage is not NYC. Mamdani did not order ICE to detain him. Mamdani and other NYC council members have already called for his immediate release. An emergency habeas petition had been filed to keep the worker in New York.

 

I imagine there won’t be any feedback with the information I presented, just like with the previous ones, so what’s the new change of subject now?

President Trump has a surprising phone pal: He and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani have texted back and forth recently, two sources familiar with their conversations tell Axios.

Socialists are useful against rightwing authoritarians, and the Democratic Party is authoritarian-leaning.
Of course trump is far more. But there are no socialists on the right for the Dems to use in response, just lunatics who fall off the rightwing party line now and again.

When its time for the political class or rather their donars to crush Mamdani they will. For now he's a much needed pressure release for all the centralisation and oppression that America has been undergoing.

They already tried and failed. 

Now he’s way too popular, unless his tenure as mayor fails.
