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.
