What is happening?
In a particularly notable moment, the president said that “some of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have.” At another point, he added that “we agree on a lot more than I would have thought. I want him to do a great job, and we’ll help him do a great job.”
“I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help. Because I want New York City to be great. Look, I love New York City, it’s where I come from, I spent a lot of years there. … I think this mayor could do some things that are going to be really great.”
NYC has a special place in this man’s shriveled heart, he’s been wanting validation and respect from it but never received it. Since he couldn’t get an ass-kisser in power, the next best thing is to try to make himself look good by helping Mamdani’s agenda.
But honestly, if Mamdani proves that socialism works in NYC, I care about that a lot more than how much credit Trump will ultimately get from it.
Mamdani is smarter than Trump by at least 40 IQ points, so this makes sense.
Pretty sure it’s >40…
That is at least 40 (technically it’s at least 41 but the idea holds).
It’s also read as greater than 40.
Mamdani is a super like-able and successful guy. Trump always wants to be attached to successful people no matter who they are. Honestly, if Dems had faux praised him in 2017 with celebrity endorsements, they could have convinced Trump to sign any legislation they wanted.
Another example of “the last person in the room” syndrome that drumpf has. The next person to have snapped their fingers and woken up the piggy will get whatever they say stuck in his mush brain and he’ll parrot whatever they said.
Trump understands what power looks like, and this is something that liberals and some on the left, have never understood. Its how and why Trump has always been able to get away with the level of disrespect and abuse he provides his allies, and yet is a supplicant to others power in so-many-ways.
I mean Mamdani gets asked directly about the way he called Trump a fascist. Standing next to Trump. After getting called a socialist. And Trump just g_l_a_z_e_s him. Its all wrestling kayfabe. Its all imaginary. Its TV. Its a fugazi. Its shit talking. Its that when someone else who can raise their own stature recognizes you, that raises your stature.
Fucking wild…
Maybe when younger he played it. I think at this point it’s on autopilot from what he used to understand (some things you don’t forget after doing it for so long), and it’s driven mainly by ego. Which those in power understand how to use by inflating and feeding to get what THEY want.
