Trump praises NYC Mayor-elect Mamdani after White House meeting

[Oompa Loompa]

Everyone is talking about Trump's coziness with a socialist. Does anyone want to talk about why Mandami wanted to meet with a man he called a fascist? Unless, of course, Mandami new his accusations were not true.

Given the increase of some from that community and then those deceived by his "charisma" and horrible ideas at the expense of NYC, maybe the US to some degree,

Please don’t change this to a Trump bashing contest.

Because despite all his faults, he’s still the President of the United States and the mayor of the biggest city in the country should be working with the president. When the president is a known spiteful, vindictive jerk who’s also a sucker for flattery, it’s not exactly a bad thing to try to get on his good side.

Likewise it’s a bit strange to now see people complain that Mamdani turned out to not be the Islamist socialist revolutionary the right wing media was painting him to be.

And perhaps Trump isnt the fascist Hitler that the left wing media was painting him to be.

Perhaps. I only know of JD Vance calling him Hitler and he didn’t seem too bothered by the fascist label himself when it was brought up at the meeting with Mamdani so maybe they’re not so far off the mark.

Especially when the president explicitly threatened to cut off federal money to NYC.

You see the same with how Newsom deals with him. He’s got no problem giving Trump a bit of what he always wants in any interaction with anyone, if it means the president doesn’t take it out on the people of his state.

I said: "Given the increase of some from that community and then those deceived by his "charisma" and horrible ideas at the expense of NYC, maybe the US to some degree,"

Where do you get from my comment that I'm referring to Trump at all?
"that community" is in reference to muslims/islam.
"those deceived by his" is in reference to Mamdani's voters.
Trump isn't part of my comment
