Mamdani on Managing Expectations
“I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.”
— New York City Zohran Mamdani (D), quoted by Politico.
Mamdani Still Considers Trump a ‘Fascist’
“That’s something I’ve said in the past and I say today. And I think what I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement, about the politics that has brought us to this moment, and we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver on a shared analysis of an affordability crisis for New Yorkers.”
— New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said that he still believes President Trump is a “fascist” and a “despot,” but he viewed their first face-to-face meeting at the White House on Friday as an “opportunity” to work together on lowering the cost of living for New Yorkers, NBC News reports.
Mamdani Just Makes Sense
“I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won’t be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own. I will, however, be a mayor who is ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living. That’s the way I’m going to lead this city. That’s the partnership I want to build.”
— Zohran Mamdani, on Fox News.
If Mamdani’s a Socialist, Trump Is a Socialist
“If you’re going to criticize the socialist Mamdani for wanting to own grocery stores, you better criticize Republicans who want a share of Intel, of Nvidia, or U.S. Steel. Owning even part of the means of production is a step toward socialism. It’s a bad idea and a dangerous precedent.”

Cuomo: Semperjuvenescent or Superannuated?
As he tries to compete with 34-years-his-junior Zohran Mamdani.
He’s accused Zohran of being a “nepo baby,
As if we forgot Governor Mario was HIS daddy.
He can fake likability, but Andy’s NOT going to be mayor of New York City.
