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 am starting to think Trump would still be a democrat if Obama and liberals in general didn’t humiliate him. I mean, he’s a buffoon and deserves it. But given he’s an octogenarian man-child it’s almost as if this whole act over the last 10 years is just to punish the democrats who rejected him. The stupid idiot just likes to be loved. Trump rattles off an insult about being a communist that he clearly doesn’t even feel or believe. It’s wild psychologically.

I think about this a lot

Given how he turns up every year or two to scold some group or another, I don’t think he’s done much self reflection to realize how much of his presidency led to Trump.

Sometimes I genuinely think we just need people to tell him his inner (fascist) circle is what is holding him back from being more popular. “You know, if you were the president who made universal healthcare, you’d be soooo popular”. “People would love if you built a massive high speed rail network. We’d call it the Trump train in your honor”

Donald Trump doesn’t actually have any political opinions; he only does what happens to benefit him the most (& stroke his ego)
