Trump loves attaching himself to a Winner. He gets to pretend he saw it first, and his base will believe him, because they are a cult. The question is how much will having (the appearance of) trumps support detail the mayor elect.

Didn't he say he liked winners?

He generally has good populist instincts which mode to engage but make no mistake: in the end IT ALWAYS IS ABOUT HIM.

Let's see what he says once Mamdami is back home

Or at his worst, depending on which way you want to look at it....

What do you mean by “social issues”. What about all the non-social issues? What about the authoritarian tendencies? That’s him at his core.

That’s not disqualifying if you want to be the mayor of NYC, it’s actually a real plus.

What few people understand—and those who do avoid mentioning—is that the mayor of NYC has remarkably little power compared with most mayors. There is enough power for corruption, so Trump may have been Adams++, but most of the job is optics.

And, last, really showcase’s Mamdani’s extraordinary political skill and sheer likability.

I’m not saying Trump (and his father before him) weren’t virulent racists. I’m saying that in a hypothetical world where Trump got elected mayor of NYC in 2016, instead of POTUS, he’d have had to occupy a politics much further to the left than the guy who ran the Central Park Five ad in 1989.

Oh sure, a convicted rapist and felon would do great things for the city.

He flattered him. He asked him for help. He will be saying shit about him again, no worries. Trump is a certified lunatic.

He is a new yorker first and hates the democratic establishment in ny more than anything else. There is no way he was ever happy endorsing cuomo.

"at his best" lmao it just shows he has no values. A face to face meeting should not change this much
