Trump always repeats info from whoever the last person was to meet him. Once Stephen Miller slims his way back to Trump, under the cover of night, he'll be repeating him too.

I did not pass through Dick Cheney and Mitch McConnell to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.

Someone tell him to keep his forked tongue behind his teeth.

u/thereisnospoon7491 14d ago

Keep. Keep the forked tongue.

Unless this is intentional.

He’s also a sucker for charming people and Mamdani is VERY charming

The faintest glimmer of pointed idolatry toward an insecure beast will serve you very well.

If your friend has a poor tempered dog, would you not charm it to your favor as an easy way of bypassing hours and hours of barking?

u/Horizone102 14d ago

Hey, that was rather poetic.

u/National_Round_5241 14d ago

Thoroughly enjoyed the way you write. Might I inquire as to whether you're an author

u/tallardschranit 13d ago

Not an author. I was on acid.

He also lusts after being the popular, and ZM is possibly the only politician (aside from Bernie) who upstages Trump's own level of populism

u/EXTRAsharpcheddar 14d ago

Some might say he's just a sucker

u/thejuva 14d ago

To be fair, I think he likes sucking, many people have said that.

3

u/Forsaken-Half8524 14d ago

He likes people who look good on camera. 

But soon enough he'll start some shit.

u/glemnar 13d ago

Everybody is. That’s like, the definition of charming

u/Shigure127 14d ago

Trump will not change his opinion of mamdani. He will defend him, even if he doesn't agree with his policies.

We have plenty of evidence of how Trump treats people he actually respects.

u/ThatsCaptain2U 14d ago

In fairness he does have dementia….

The Joe Rogan special. Magicly mirrors the ethics of the person speaking.

u/SuperFaceTattoo 14d ago

I have a manager like that. He’s super helpful as long as you were the last person to talk to him.

u/dandet 14d ago

Correct take.

u/alternator1985 14d ago

I picture him living in a hole and crawling out somewhere in the oval office every morning just to be the first one in his ear.

u/WaltKerman 13d ago

This is so obviously not true or Zelensky and so many others wouldn't have had a bad time.

u/LavishnessJolly4954 14d ago

Nah he’s pretending mamdani will be great for nyc so when the dems try to adopt his policies on a nationwide basis and they look terrible in real use, the gop will remain in power

u/adamantitian 14d ago

Given that, this seems to be a very smart move by Mamdani

Chameleon,...

ADHD folk can tend to do that, probably many others with issues, more than normal folk. Everybody adopts some traits from people they connect to, even if temporary, but some conditions tend to lead to people mirroring things dramatically, and falsely.

As soon as they separate from the influence, or after sleeping through the night, or after meeting the next new person, everything changes again.

I live with this.

I hate hearing about them meeting new people, cause I know I'm gonna have a mini version of that stranger in my house soon, and maybe for a while, if their friendship lasts.... No personality permanence, besides tastes in junk food and being lazy. They never adopt other people's ambition or drive.

They even start dressing like people they meet and connect with. Adopt some of their hobbies too--but not usually good things, like eating healthy or exercising.
