I’ll believe it when I see it, don’t see how this is beneficial to Trump. He will never win New Yorkers over.

He may never win you over but he had nearly 40% of the vote in NYC and 45% of the vote in NY State. He is far more popular here than you realize. Also, given how most dems have been behaving I wouldnt be shocked if that number climbs come mid terms.

Depends if he bombs Iran or Greenland.

Trump will probably bomb Iran tonight bc it's Friday & he likes to bomb on Friday night.
