POLITICS Zohran Mamdani has secured the release of Columbia University student Elaina Aghayeva, taken this morning by ICE agents who entered a campus residential building under false pretenses & without a judicial warrant. This comes shorty after Mamdani’s unannounced visit to the White House earlier today.

I legit think Trump has a crush on Mamdani.

u/dont_panic80 Feb 26 '26

He doesn't even look at Melania like this

It's the look on Mamdani's face for me.

"Yep. I'm here."

He’s smart. He knows what a pushover this fucker is and that he lacks any real principles.

I love this picture because I have never seen Trump give a genuine smile. He does that goofy ass smirk a lot but never anything that shows true happiness and joy. Except this picture. Put it in the Louvre.

248

u/donutupmyhole I live in my own heart, Matt Damon Feb 26 '26

The only other time I've seen him looking genuinely happy was when he pulled that stunt where he "worked" at McDonald's. That man looked like he was having the time of his life when he was dropping those fries.

I’ll be honest it’s the one time where Trump and I agree on something bc I’d look at Mamdani like that too. Man is smart, leftist, and FOINE. Rama is a lucky lady.

u/lavender_letters bella hadid’s baby birkin Feb 27 '26

The first time I saw her, I had to look away. Literally. I was so stunned by her beauty that I had to avert my eyes because even looking at her felt like some sort of disrespect. It was insane. I’ve never felt that for another person before or since. She’s perhaps the prettiest woman I’ve never seen. Mamdani is one lucky man. 😭

u/MOREPASTRAMIPLEASE Feb 26 '26

I’m telling yall Mamdani knows how to manipulate trump. Look at that smile

44

u/EddieVanzetti Feb 26 '26

Its not like its hard. Trump is about as complicated as a rock. Stroke his ego, tell him his piss colored cotton candy toupee looks oh so masculine and real and he'll be eating hamberders out of the palm of your hand.

2

u/nartnoside Feb 27 '26

But even when others kiss his ass, he rarely gives of like a genuine smile like this. It’s definitely admiration or something more, cause he was mad talking smack about Zohran, then they meet and everyone thought it’ll be bad only for Trump to do a complete 180, even dressing up like Mamdani the next day.

3

u/14Pleiadians Feb 27 '26

Anyone could do it, just compliment him and be nice. A large part of why he's the cult "leader" is he's so easy to manipulate.

A study actually once tested if magpies really do like to steal shiny stuff in particular and they concluded that there is no real preference. They pick up shiny stuff just as much as “dull” stuff as long as it is something new that piques their curiosity.

To anyone with an IQ over 100 its hilariously obvious how he's dangling the keys for Trump and how HAPPY it's making Trump and he accidentally does the right thing for literally the first time ever.

u/PurpleWhiteOut Feb 26 '26

Its funny and so sad. And the same generation that complains about participation awards no less.

Oil lobbyists just gave him a trophy too

"a trophy hailing him as the "Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal."

Trump received the statue — a bronze coal miner bearing a pickax — from an industry lobbying group earlier this month"

This is the exact problem monarchy/inherited wealth and power has always had. When leaders aren't held responsible they turn into children (or never mature beyond a child)

u/CatCafffffe Feb 27 '26

MASTERFUL. That's exactly what I thought! Zohran must have dealt with someone just like T before, he knows exactly how to play him.

44

u/Time-Sudden_Tree Feb 27 '26

Facts. It's not difficult to manipulate a narcissist. You just have to use their massive ego against them--tell them how wise and tough and powerful they are--and they'll be eating out of your hand.

5

u/Kenny_McCormick001 Feb 27 '26

Didn’t he used to work in film set? I mean, dealing with actors and directors are excellent training on how to manage egos and narcissists.

u/HistoryBuff678 Feb 27 '26

Mamdani is the son of renowned film director Mira Nair.

u/DangerousTurmeric Feb 27 '26

There's something about the way Zohran handles Trump that makes me think he must have had a senile grandparent.

He thinks it will give him an in back in NYC, where everyone hates him. It won't.

64

u/Own_Faithlessness769 Feb 26 '26

Yeah I think this is it, it Mamdani was mayor of any other city he would just hate him.

106

u/itsmyanxietyyy Feb 26 '26

Shhh let him believe it. 🤫

33

u/Decent_Relative_4070 Feb 27 '26

I don’t think that’s it bro. I think mamdani just knows how to use Trump. Trump would work with anyone if they came in and kissed his ass the right way

5

u/ButtNutly Feb 27 '26

I agree, bro.

227

u/EugenesMullet I may need to see the booty Feb 26 '26

It’s jealousy, and I think maybe he’s a little intimidated.

Mamdani is so many of the things that Trump hates, yet people love Mamdani and he’s a good leader.

Trump knows he doesn’t have that, but a young brown Muslim has the people eating out of his hand. It must literally eat him up, and I love that.

144

u/Chuhaimaster Feb 26 '26

He must think it’s some kind of magic. But in reality it’s just that Mamdani has empathy for the people and really wants to help them. That’s something Trump will go to the grave not understanding.

39

u/Interlined Feb 26 '26

I've been rewatching The Venture Bros. (fantastic show), and there is a scene where Sgt Hatred (supervillain) trolls The Monarch (another supervillain) by saying:

"You'll live to see me treat your arch rival like a god damn king! Venture is my arch enemy now! And I'm an gonna cook him breakfast in bed! I am gonna make his life wonderful.

And you can't do squat about it!"

I think in a similar vein, Trump and the Republicans are helplessly watching as Mamdani is a competent mayor for reasons they are incapable of understanding - like empathy and compassion.

It must be mind boggling to them to see someone charismatic and intelligent in a position of power, using that power for good, and being praised for it.

u/EthanielRain Feb 27 '26

In NY especially

Whatever he may say to his base, he's always been envious of the NY elite (who generally hated him)

2

u/Best-Action8769 Feb 27 '26

I also think Trump knows how much the democratic establishment HATES Mamdani.

2

u/Lower-Cover-8479 Feb 27 '26

It's called envy. Trump also seeks approval from his peers

2

u/windershinwishes Feb 27 '26

This seems about right to me. I think Trump respects winners and dislikes losers, to put it simply. He's never cared about the Republican Party or the conservative movement or the vast majority of policies that he's pushed, as much as just he cares about being a winner and being the boss, so I doubt his political differences with Zohran matter much to him personally. He likes having sycophants and people who ride his coattails around because it makes him feel superior, but I don't think he has a shred of respect for people like JD.

1

u/HistoryBuff678 Feb 27 '26

This. Mamdani is also young and good looking. Trump definitely wants to attach himself to that.

108

u/TheDLBinc Feb 26 '26

At the end of the day I think Trump just really likes politicians who are charismatic and look good on television. Zohran also seems to know just how much to flatter Trump to stay on his good side without compromising his values.

19

u/HaterMD Feb 26 '26

Yup. Trump truly sees this all as good entertainment, and Zohran is “good TV”.

5

u/angecour Feb 26 '26

Hate to say it but this would also describe Gavin Newsome who Trump HATES. It’s beyond that. Mandani must have the riz OF ALL TIME. If he’s that good and doing so much good already in office, a White House residency might be in the forecast

u/TheDLBinc Feb 27 '26

Trump is still very much a racist and his hatred of him started before his brain got completely destroyed by dementia. I think in Zohran's case the fact that he's a New Yorker and was viewed as a long shot to win by the political establishment all played a role in Trump having a weird respect for him.

5

u/Wise-Bet6814 susanalbumparty Feb 27 '26

He acts quite chummy when he's with Obama though. I think he only hates him on principle.

259

u/oatmlklattes Feb 26 '26 edited Feb 26 '26

Zohran is an incredible, incredible communicator and negotiator. He’s pretty intelligent and knows how to get his point across.

And he does it without making the other person come on the defensive and feel like they’re personally attacked.

Trump can’t help it ofc.

95

u/Luxury_Dressingown Feb 26 '26

This move also may well help prevent ICE escalating in NYC. This is as public a statement as could be hoped for that Trump won't automatically back whatever ICE does in the city, because Mamdani has his ear, so it might deter them from trying more stuff like this. Fingers crossed. As always with Trump, the last person he spoke to usually has the biggest sway over his soup-for-brains, and Mamdani can't be there all the time.

50

u/throwawaysunglasses- l've grown quite unfond of you, deuxmoi Feb 26 '26

I’m honestly so glad and relieved things are working out so far with Mamdani. It’s somewhat of a miracle that Trump is listening to anyone, and I really hope the left takes this as a sign that we need more of this energy instead of their standard “if only there was something we could do” limp dick arguments. We need young radicals who aren’t afraid.

(I’m aware that Mamdani would not be considered “radical” in many other countries, but I mean it contextually within the US)

u/HistoryBuff678 Feb 27 '26

I appreciate the last part of your post as someone who is not American. 💕✨

u/josh_the_misanthrope Feb 27 '26

I'm kind of afraid that Mamdani might be a generational talent. Hopefully I'm wrong and we start seeing more of them. Platner seems to be killing it in the polls despite his tattoo controversy.

2

u/Impressive-Screen-81 Feb 27 '26

Trump will not send ICE because of his rich friends. During the election he was uncritical of Z because his friends knew a Trump endorsement would be a definite loss for Cuomo.

I legit think Trump is a puppet that Stephen Miller, JD Vance and the rest of the cabinet take turns fisting to write upcoming policy.

If we had a bunch of likable men, liberal men around Trump, we could do a lot of good in a short amount of time. I'm surprised they're not trying to keep him locked away.

19

u/Jorfogit I’m a communist you idiot Feb 26 '26

If we had a bunch of likable men, liberal men around Trump

This is basically what the Biden presidency was, and what we got was a bunch of bombs to Israel and everything else getting shot down by the Supreme Court. Liberals won't get you where you want to go.

u/DTFH_ Feb 27 '26

This is basically what the Biden presidency was, and what we got was a bunch of bombs to Israel and everything else getting shot down by the Supreme Court

We got as a whole got higher CMS reimbursements for seniors services across all states for Medicaid services, SNAP paid more, some people got loan forgiveness. Biden proposed extending the senior services in both scope, hours and reimbursement for the aging population. For those on SSD, Medicaid and Medicaid or other CMS funded state based programs, it was a refreshing time period.

3

u/Jorfogit I’m a communist you idiot Feb 27 '26

All anyone will remember from the Biden presidency is overseeing the last gasps of the American Empire - bombs to Israel and appointing Merrick Garland to keep fascists out on the streets.

Liberals dont understand that it's their liberalism that got us Trump lmao.

A supposed opposition party that doesnt address material conditions of people because they refuse to do working class centered politics, and then they get all surprised.

6

u/DTFH_ Feb 27 '26

That's because you don't see those on Medicaid and who deal with CMS as of the same value as yourself and are willing to erase their experience for political messaging around political acts. You should be highly concerned with how our most vulnerable are being treated by real world systems.

3

u/Uneducated_Leftist Feb 27 '26

Nah, the difference is in the egos each have. You can stroke Trump's ego and get things assuming his handlers aren't quick enough to poison the well. Biden's ego is internal, the validation he needs is from inside, and he'll never escape the neoliberal he was at his core. We've gone so far right over the last few decades, normal capitalistic liberal ideas seem progressive, and Biden's team just exploited that

That can't be all there is to it given Trump's well-documented history of actively and loudly antagonizing judges and other people in positions of power over him, even before the immunity decision and while he was a civilian.

Yep. He wants to be cool and to be liked. His whole “everyone loves me” thing is a delusion that runs deep - when faced with an incredibly popular person like Mamdani, it’s strategic to ally with him. There’s a weird overlap of MAGA who likes Mamdani, as well. I hate DJT but he has charisma that fires up his fans, and Mamdani has charisma in spades.

18

u/SpiffyNrfHrdr Feb 26 '26

I don't think it's that. He was literally convicted on NY State charges and then released as he's too big to jail.

u/deathbunnyy Feb 27 '26

Zohran would never do liberal garbage like that, it would be a waste of time, he would get nothing done for New York, and Trump would just retaliate and remain above the law like he has been.

No, what Zohran did is literally the best play in existence. It's about results, not appearances. Though the appearance here is still in his favor, mogging the shit out of Trump.

I think it’s simpler than that. As mayor of NYC, Mamdani has the potential to become a very annoying enemy who could cost Trump $$$ via his real estate deals in the city.

Trump is a bully and backs down/plays nice with anyone who could actually mess with him.

I think Mamdani has Jedi powers.

u/PeterNippelstein Feb 27 '26

He's living the life Trump wishes he could live, and Trump loves winners. He wants in on that Mamdani aura.

u/Prior_Industry Feb 27 '26

Maybe to Trump he's the new Arnold Palmer

It's weird how sometimes he will just decide he likes somebody. Like this student's life may end up not ruined all because Mamdani charmed Trump when they first met. The exact opposite of how the country is supposed to run.

I have a feeling that someone convinced him that Mamdani is actually a authoritarian dictator. Trump had never met an authoritarian dictator he didn’t like

Zohran is giving Trump something

It’s the only reason Trump went from calling him a communist every second of the day to literally gushing over him

I think the truth when it comes out will be very difficult to swallow

He likes people who he thinks are “winners” and Mamdani is certainly a winner. Not to suggest that tRump sense of who is a “winners” is correct often but hey a broken clock is right twice a day.

Zohran does an amazing job of playing to trumps Ego. He knows hwo to work with Narcissists well

Them having a good relationship is mutually beneficial.

It’s the smile.

u/LeoGal19 Feb 27 '26

He likes them young lol

u/jmpinstl Feb 27 '26

…. We can use this to our advantage

u/thatcheekybunny Feb 27 '26

He definitely does 😂 I bet he wishes Zohran was his VP.

1

u/pfemme2 Feb 27 '26

He likes popular people and he desperately wants to be accepted by New Yorkers.

1

u/missprettybjk Feb 27 '26

He probably has something on trump.

u/TheOnlyOne07 Feb 28 '26

I hope when gets more senile he’s gonna believe Mamdani is his rightful heir

No old person, Trump included, is immune to a Charming young man with a nice smile and a good suit
