During a Friday presser from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump offered some rare kind words to New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani after their meeting, saying, "I think he is gonna surprise some conservative people, actually."
I hope Mamdani has adequate security because my first reaction to this is that it’s an attempt at plausible deniability for when some “unfortunate accident” befalls him. The emphasis on there not being a difference in parties, and how much they’re all rooting for him, could be parlayed into encouraging everyone to just accept a republican replacement since our goals are totally in alignment, but clearly the democrats just can’t take care of their own people or the citizens they represent.
Any other president and administration I’d take the comments as either sincere or just friendly empty platitudes, but this group doesn’t do anything seemingly human without ulterior motives.
