General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Here's a good question re Mamdani/TSF [View all]Forgive me for not having exact quotes so I'll try to bullet point my big take aways
1) Trump sat, looked sick, and Mamdani glowed - standing straight upright without moving and shaking his hand downward dominantly
2) Despite an exclusive right wing media presence, not a single time did Mamdani flub a question.
3) When asked if he still considered Trump a fascist, Mamdani did not deny it and instead Trump said, "Eh, its okay, say yes its easier."
4) When asked if he still considered Mamdani a jihadist, Trump said no he is a rational person that "wants to make New York great again", and thus undercut Stefanik's campaign for governor.
5) Mamdani brought up energy costs in NY and Trump spoke about Con Ed's fleecing of NYC citizens. That is a theoretical policy win if we can get focus on that local issue.
6) Mamdani did not discuss anything but his policies and specifically affordability and recruited Trump to at least pay lip service to it because he was charmed by Mamdani
7) "A very old fashioned word, groceries"
Edit: And if you want indirect evidence, look at the narrative on media sources on "who won". And, even better, look at Fox News completely devoid of a message. And, even better better, look at the AI videos of Trump arresting Mamdani after he left the office. If Trump's voters think this helped him, they wouldn't be posting that stuff.
