new words: "affordability" and "groceries" (Trump/Mamdani meeting)

Trump on Mamdani: "We had some interesting conversation and some of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have. But a big thing on cost. The new word is 'affordability.' Another word is just 'groceries.' It's sort of an old fashioned word but it's very accurate."

Hell, maybe Mamdani invites Traitor to Gracie Mansion and serves him 1980’s surf-and-turf and chocolate cake with a chilled can of Diet Coke in a graciously appointed dining room, we might be able to get Medicare For All.

Dream big.

And Mayor Elect Mamdani is 34 years old. We'll get to experience his brand of politics for decades. He can't be President, but he can get a helluva lot of good gigs to do better works.
