President Trump and incoming New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said they looked forward to working together in a remarkable scene at the White House.

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’ve got to be fucking high to read what I just read. I can’t believe my eyes. “Communist! Communist! Communist!.. You know, we really have a lot of the same ideas…”

      Trump changing his mind 180 degrees in an instant? That’s not very surprising 🤭

      At least he admits that he thought this before. Usually he’s like the old opinion never happened.

      That’s the fucking thing though, isn’t it? I’ll hear a coworker rail against the evil democrats for 10 minutes, then with the slightest nudge start spouting what could be classified as socialist propaganda.

        Sort of how people view the military. Employment, housing, healthcare, education and child care should all be provided as long as one partakes in the theater of patriotism, not for those other people.
