when you're an ascendant socialist who's finagled a photo op with the white house fdr portrait but you can't even smile because you gotta stand next to donald trump.

also, what a power move to witness
A Truth Social post by Trump that consists of four photos of Trump and Mamdani together in front of a large painting of FDR. Trump is in three of the pictures. Mamdani is notably not smiling, with a slightly pleasant but neutral expression.

A Wall Street Journal headline reading "U.S. New York Officials to Team Up With Wall Street to Keep National Guard Out." It is subtitled "Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has drawn the ire of President Trump" and dated November 17, 2025.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Just a handful of days after Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s jobs portal tallied more than 50,000 applicants, his mayoral transition fund collected over $1 million. “None of this would have been possible without everyday New Yorkers willing to spare $5, $10, or $20 to help build a government that will deliver for working people,” Mamdani said in a written statement. “I’m grateful for every dollar New Yorkers have contributed to make this vision of an affordable, more livable city a reality.” The average donation of the 12,707 submissions is roughly $77.65, the statement detailed. Furthermore, the sheer number of donors is bounds away from Mayor Eric Adams’ and former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s transition funds. According to the statement, Adams only garnered 884 givers with de Blasio marking even less at 820 givers. On the other hand, the average donation was remarkably higher, the statement said. Adams’ donations averaged about $1,000 while de Blasio’s reached $2,392.

tumblr post by userautumn: oddly enough, i feel relieved. i know now where we stand with this country. i know now that this is a nation that, despite her protestations, does not want to be saved. at this point, i am not sure she can be anyway. but what i do know is that there are people here who still need protecting. there are disabled people here, trans people here, pregnant people here, brown and black people here, queer people here, and as long as my feet rest on american soil, those people are my family and they are worth protecting. so, like, maybe this nation doesn't want to be saved. that's fine. trump and his friends can have whichever parts they lay claim to. but they can't have us. so. if you have breath in your lungs, you're my people, you're my family and i am going to fight for you for as long and as hard as i can. that's all i've got at the moment. we'll figure out the rest together, okay?

The Onion got very near a two week jump on this. Not too shabby!
