Also, Mamdani is really good at this:
Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there. "It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess…"

Contrary to what some red-brown types are asserting this does not portend any kind of progressive turn from Trump, let alone some kind of realignment, but it is amusing.
