    What the fuck.

    This video’s telling me that if we’d surround this pig with leftists, he’ll be espousing proper communism in a fucking week?

    I want off this whiplash ride.

      He’s been swinging wildly between backing Zelensky and Putin based on which of them talked to him most recently. He goes on social media tirades and makes executive orders based on what he saw on Fox News the night before.

      He’s literally a demented old man who’s extremely suggestible because his brain is swiss cheese.

      Yeah, Trump’s ideology is that of whomever had a polite conversation with him last. The only thing he actually believes in is television ratings.

      It’s why his first administration’s policies were tamer than this one; there were slightly more ‘moderate’ (or, in a normal country, ‘hard right’) Republicans. This go round, he’s only surrounded by deranged sycophants and dorky natzi-fetish staffers.

    Mamdani is a fucking wizard. I heard some of this press conference - trump was actually defending mamdani against both liberal press and fox news questions

    I want so badly to have been a fly on the wall for that meeting. But ultimately it does kind of make sense: they are both “anti-establishment” candidates in their own ways, and trump desperately needs a popularity boost.

      As far as I can tell Mamdani doesn’t really attack or even acknowledge his opponents unless he’s forced to do so. So I imagine the meeting was all about how Mamdani wants to fix New York by matching New Jersey’s tax rate and cleaning up the city council. I can see why Trump would try to ride that wave rather than fight it.

      He is a master of the BIFF technique for dealing with narcissists for sure. Being friendly and disarming with people who think he’s literally sub-human, while not giving ground, is no easy or common skill.

    “I mean, just look at that well-kept beard. I like a well-kept beard,” remarked Trump. Both Mamdani and Vance suddenly felt a chill and started sweating, but for entirely different reasons.

        At the very least I believe he’d want to. I cannot fathom why anybody else would want to shove themselves into that particular orifice though.

        Willingly, I mean. If someone put a gun to the back of my head and told me to put my dick in Trump’s mouth, I’m not entirely certain I wouldn’t just tell them to pull the trigger.

          I mean, his mentor was one of the most evil men in American history and loved getting fucked in the ass. (And don’t get me wrong, I’m not implying there’s anything wrong with liking dick.)

          It’s just not a huge stretch to think Donald might like it too, in secret.

      The “beard” i think he is really speaking of is the wife. Gay men who marry wemon refer to them as there beards. Thats my opinion.

    Not for nothing, but does anyone else notice that Trump now has the military service flags behnd him?

    Nice touch, symbolizing his dominance over the military and using the flags to establish it, to the masses.

    On the actual note related to the photos, I don’t doubt that Mamdani had Trump eating out of his hands. Now if he can maintain a good communications channel, he might be able to leverage some benefits for New Yorkers out of it.

      It’s shocking how little it takes to get Trump on your side. He basically only remembers the last person he talked with.

    Trump just believes whatever he is told, so when miller told him to hate Mandani he did. Until he met him.

    And now maybe his base might see him for what he is

      Well, i like to monitor the insane circular firing squad that is r/conservative, and opinion seems split on this between “Trump likes literally anyone who talks nice to him” “Mamdani is a cultured immigrant who knows how to behave in polite society” (whew boy) and, of, course, the winner seems to be their constant and automatic refrain for whenever Trump does something stupid, unintelligible, or obviously directly opposed to their values: “4D Chess.”

      Between Epstein, MTG, Zohran and calling for the death sentence for dems saying troops are required to disobey illegal orders, that place has been looking like the grim reaper swept through every thread lol

    This one’s easy.

    Trump is happy in the top one because he’s the only narcissist in the room.

    Trump is unhappy in the bottom one because Elon is another malignant narcissist, who is stealing Trump’s spotlight.
