Mango Mussolini's Praise of Mamdani is Toxic

Trust me, the orange pedo did not have a change of heart. The praise is a highly calculated risk.
By praising him it will, at least in some circles, cause concern in his supporters as to what brought on such enthusiastic support and praise from a xenophobic racist.
Lets be honest, I would rather eat the ass out of a dead raccoon than even stand in the same room with the guy, much less get praised by him.

I would not have done what Mamdani did. The last thing I would want is to have my picture taken with a pedo rapist convicted felon.

Hopefully it works out but I personally think whomever thought this meeting was a good idea should be fired.

But his cult will believe whatever he tells them.
Mango Mussolini has proven that his reputation with his cult is unbreakable.

Mamdani is a new, up-and-coming politician and does not have that same benefit with his supporters because Democrats are not in a cult.

New yorkers have good reasons to not trust their politicians and question everything.

This will, at least to a certain degree, sow seeds of doubt. That was intentional in my opinion.

But the enthusiastic praise from Mango Mussolini even gave me pause and wonder what could have happened that facilitated such an outcome.
He is a grifter and he gives nothing, even praise, without getting something in return that benefits him.

Mamdani is not going to walk away from this without getting that question from someone back in NYC.

Mamdani is playing this smart. A confrontational approach may feel good emotionally and help with the ego, and maybe even his base, but Trump can be a vindictive ass hole and withhold funds and otherwise make life really difficult for New Yorkers.

Mamdani clearly learned from the Zelenskyy incident. In that case I think Trump was pissed because Zelenskyy was the hero and of course his country is in a life or death struggle, and he made the mistake of defending his points and not taking any shit from Trump and Vance on camera, which is pointless because Trump always needs to hog it.

With a pedo rapist that literally called for the execution of other Democrats just a day ago.
And Mamdani is standing in the Oval Office praising him.

Exactly what I was said would happen but sooner
Now everyone think Mango Mussolini is a great guy because him and Mamdani got along and now the press will stop talking about the death threats and Epstein files because now everyone is happy with him

and we certainly shouldn't be doing things based in their ignorant feelings.

I'm not even much of a Mamdani supporter but his focus has to be on helping the city he will serve as Mayor for. If that means avoiding the bs that Trump does out of personal grudges and all it takes is just meeting with him what's the problem ?

Why do people waste time and get worked up over useless shit ?

People make nice with him and kiss his ass and that is literally what feeds his ego and empowers him.
Everyone just keeps making nice and stroking his ego and trying to avoid his temper.

That guy is a pedophile and a rapist. I'm NEVER accepting anyone that placates him and feeds his ego.
Fuck him, fuck Mamdani and anyone else that kisses his ass and smiles at him. The man is very literally a monster.

I do not appreciate the "fuck Mamdani" point, but I do understand the sentiment that anyone in the vicinity of Trump is devalued.

Mayor-Elect Mamdani helped me a have good day at the expense of a pedophile rapist. He weakened him. He made him look small. This is always a good thing.
