Here's the thing: Mamdani begins to flatter Trump. It's working.
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!"
