  3. Any one for Pork TACOs?

    Mamdani should just come out anyway and simply say, “Quiet, Piggy!”

  6. The absolute truth is that Trump is WAY MORE of a Fascist than Mamdani is a Communist. If Trump doesn’t know that, it’s because he’s too much of a Sociopath to really look at himself.

    Democratic Socialism is not Communism. It’s not even close.

  7. Trump is afraid of functioning brain cells. Mamdani has a few. Trump has nothing.

  9. That’s actually hilarious. Biggest possible L for Trump. You know he pisses himself about the idea of ever having to debate anybody intelligent face to face. He very carefully arranges stuff so all he needs to do is insult some slightly crooked milquetoast politicians and act like he’s better. Against people that are truly impressive, he is an inch worm and he knows it.

  10. Maybe I’m the one who isn’t so bright, but this article is confusing. It sounds both like Tramp chickened out of the meeting and also that the meeting happened without media present.

  15. I was actually hoping for a closed door. Trump wont be performative and Mamdani might actually be able to convey his stance.

  16. Mamdani is eloquent and controlled, he will walk rings around chump

  20. That why they call him TACO and it’s not even Tuesday. lmao

  22. Watching the post-meeting Q&A was surreal. Trump basically gave Zohran the Bubba treatment live on camera.

    Which, granted, it’s impossible *not* to have a crush on Mamdani but seeing Trump doing it made me question which timeline I’m living.

  24. Then explain all the videos and pictures of them meeting.

  25. More on this subject from other reputable sources:
