In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

Yeah, I’m also liking Mamdani. However, I may be traumatized because I don’t completely trust the situation. What did Mamdani tell Trump to make Trump support him so quickly? Trump did a 180 over night, and I want to know how Mamdani did that…

Edit: I get that Trump is impressionable, fickle, and a boy of truly weak resolve. Yet, I still want to know what Mamdani did… not what we took advantage of. What was said?

    I genuinely think its because Trump, and all of his supporters, are colossal pussies when actually challenged and defeated by someone willing to fight them.

    If Mamdani made any concession, you'd never hear Trump and his cult not talking about it.

    Instead Trump publicly sucked Mamdani's cock and MAGA is pretending it never happened.

    Expanding on what others have answered, Trump is extremely suggestible due to dementia. He literally just agrees with whoever told him something last because he can't think on his own anymore.

    That's why it's even more vital to get rid of fascist advisors like Steven Miller than it is to get rid of Trump himself.

    trump will say anything. he doesn't support mamdani, at least not in action. but trump wants to be popular and for people to like him, so he will attach himself to anything successful. he loved the new england patriots until the kansas city chiefs became the dynasty to beat. suddenly he was talking about patrick mahomes constantly.

    the criticism for that meeting should purely go on mamdani allowing his brand to be attached to a fascist. but that gets into that electoralism will never save us because politicians who play political games to curry favor are inherently compromised. however, the value of electoralism is that it can help us put people who will allow us to organize on the margins in office as we grow our movement

    i saw it as a genius move, anyone on the left with half a brain should have realized he was just making a fool of trump.

    and the cognitive dissonance generated by such a public whiplash change of face on "some dirty communist muslim" might have been jarring enough to disillusion a couple magats
