Since the Big Oompa Loompa softened his stance on Mamdani only one question remains

What kind of gift did Mamdani bring him? Was it solely flattery?

I still think Mamdani should rename 57th St to President Barack Obama Boulevard (where Trump Tower sits).

I wonder if the Saudi's yesterday made their "deals" with him conditional on being nice to Mayor Elect Mamdani? Or if the NYC financial elite read him the riot act and told him not to mess with their turf?

More flattery. Trump softens. And Stephen Miller is watching, horrified. And he can't stop it. Trump is off script.

Contrast this with Zelensky in the WH. No bombast. No J.D. Vance dressing Mamdani down.

You'll never see Trump yelling, "Don't try flattering me! I'm on to you!"
