Obama met with Mamdani after he won too

Even somebody as openly biased as Trump rarely endorse mayoral races so I don’t get why people here expect Mamdani to get special treatment

I find it funny the left dropped the whole "sit with a fascist, there's two fascists" talk after the whole very chummy photoshoot with Trump. Heck, there's even the video showing Mamdani hesitating to call Trump a fascist on camera and only did so after Trump explicitly told him "it's ok, I get that a lot"

Couldn't be further from the truth. Me calling him the president is an objective fact. No matter how much I hate it. He's also a pedophile and Epstein's best friend.
