An really important thing a lot of people don't realize about Trump is that he doesn't bully people he doesn't think he can bully.
Let’s be clear.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social got Trump so charmed that Trump posted two photos of the two of them with Franklin Roosevelt’s portrait behind them AND one of just Mamdani and FDR’s portrait.

MTG has been in Congress since 2020 & is resigning Jan 5, 2026. I just want to point out one thing.
She spent 5 years attacking the left & never feared for her life.
She spent 5 weeks mildly critiquing MAGA & the backlash is so severe she is resigning.
5 years vs 5 weeks. That says it all.
