It's like Mamdani pushed his shopping cart up and down the aisles of Trump's mind and loaded up on stuff to bring back to his city. Protecting his city from ICE even before he takes office is huge (I mean, obviously Trump is a man of his word salad, but it was worth a try; see link below).
Laura Loomer and a lot of MAGA are in shambles, Trump says he loves Mamdani now and will be cheering for him. Will consider their conversation about ICE and supports his housing plan for low income families. Also stated that he’d happily live in New York with him as mayor and that he’s a good guy.

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.
November 5, 2025 at 4:18 PM
Yes!
Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too
November 5, 2025 at 5:12 AM
Yes!
🎉😃
Mamdani: My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

Hey look, maybe Trump just acts crazy for the cameras and then in the background he's doing diligent, competent stuff like...replacing an admiral with a DOGE officer... www.thebulwark.com/p/scoop-trum...

Dodgers owner Mark Walter has a financial stake in the ongoing ICE raids so this makes sense:
FEDERAL AGENTS SPOTTED OUTSIDE DODGERS STADIUM THIS MORNING
In the midst of ICE / DHS kidnapping operations in Los Angeles, fed agents were caught staging outside Dodgers Stadium around 10 AM
Feds are crawling all over the city. Look out for one another & defend your neighbors!

We have to make this stop.
Outside the Chicago area ICE detention center in Broadview this afternoon, fed caravans are coming and going to drop off captives.
ICE and CBP are kidnapping people all over the city and suburbs today—our new "normal."
As usual, we've seen several vehicles with no license plates enter.
