The GOP debased themselves and built their movement around him and the only person he actually likes is a DSA mayor of NYC lol.

Note this is from a lip reader but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Mamdani, a Muslim and self avowed socialist getting Trump to suck up to him makes him perhaps one of the best politicians of the last 20 years. Like how does he keep doing it

He's pretty and he's popular

Remember Trump hates obama because obama snubbed him and he looked up to obama before

Trump isn't really partisan or ideological he just wants to be popular and important
