Look, Trump is a human being in an incredible distortion sphere. His actions/reactions tend to skew more “interpersonal” and emotional than Machiavellian, like how he acts immediately after he meets Zelensky or a lawmaker or sees a bad Tweet or whatever; he was like before politics.
Step in Trump’s shoes: he sees Mamdani on Fox News, on his Twitter feed, from his circle. This guy is Socialist Satan from his perspective.
Then the guy walks into Trump’s office, is actually super nice and reasonably balanced, and loves New York too? He’s clearly not an alien lizard like a Clinton.
I’m not surprised Trump reacted this way at all. It’s totally in character. And if you understand this, you understand why Trump has so much popularity: in spite of the massive toxicity he commands, he’s quite human for a politician.
