New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said Monday that he reached out to the White House to arrange a meeting with Donald Trump, signaling a cooling of tensions between the two leaders after months of harsh rhetoric.
“My team reached out to the White House to fulfill a commitment I made to New Yorkers over the course of this campaign," Mamdani told reporters at a food pantry in the Bronx, adding that the proposed meeting was part of a pledge to voters to “address the affordability crisis that is pushing so many of them out of the city.”
"We are seeing his actions and that of his administration in Washington leading to the exact opposite effect for New Yorkers, and I will go to make the case to the president and to anyone, frankly, that these are the kinds of things we need to change if we want to make it easier for New Yorkers and for Americans to afford the day-to-day necessities of their life,” Mamdani said.
He needs to be consulting a panel of psychologists about how to best manipulate Trump.
The man is old, confused and likes to lash out when he doesn’t feel worshipped. I feel like his untreated (but well documented) pathologies leave him quite vulnerable to a mental health professional.
Its not like you can manipulate him into giving you some kind of amazing treat, but convincing him to leave you alone would be a massive win.
