CURRENT SCORE: Mamdani 1, Bloated Orange Rapist Felon TACO 0 (media barred from closed-doors meeting)

Trump was planning to meet New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani behind closed doors in the Oval Office on Friday, despite claiming he could open up the crunch talks to the public if he wanted to.

Trump, 79, frequently invites reporters into the Oval Office for a front-seat view as he sits down with U.S. and world leaders, but, according to his schedule, the media was barred from his first meeting with Mamdani, the Democratic socialist 45 years his junior.

Their first face-to-face comes after Trump lobbed a series of nasty attacks on the political upstart who mounted an underdog campaign and went on to win the race to lead the largest city in the U.S.

If it's truly 1:1, once Trump realizes he doesn't need a translator, my bet is that he gets 90 percent to winning Trump over to a broad plan of Americanism where Trump makes everyone fall in love with him via a place to live, medical care, and the hugest train network in the universe.

...then I hope Mamdani walks out of the meeting and announces that lazy, low IQ Trump attempted blackmail.

He’s too much a chickenshit. It will most likely have the usual lackeys there to nod and smile at everything shitbag says and try to gang bully the duly elected Mayor.

Hopefully he didn’t get any ideas from the saudi fuckstick a few days ago…..
