"Trump is every bit the sucker you thought he was.”

Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani. pic.twitter.com/yEQ9GeE7QY

Republicans crafted an entire midterm strategy around making Mamdani the face of the Democratic Party and portraying him as the most dangerous political figure in American history. Called him a jihadist. Introduced a resolution in the House condemning socialism. All gone now. pic.twitter.com/6xm9kquvhF

Or about that long.

Q: Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?

MAMDANI: I will use every form of transit and I want to make sure they are all affordable in NYC

TRUMP: That's a lot quicker too, in all fairness. I'll stick up for you. pic.twitter.com/SlflXRLLJm

The recent “South Park” episodes with Trump looking longingly at his boyfriend Satan suddenly seem more imitation than imagination. (Not that Mamdani is Satan, but they sure got the gaze right.)
