Not for nothing, but does anyone else notice that Trump now has the military service flags behnd him?

Nice touch, symbolizing his dominance over the military and using the flags to establish it, to the masses.

On the actual note related to the photos, I don't doubt that Mamdani had Trump eating out of his hands. Now if he can maintain a good communications channel, he might be able to leverage some benefits for New Yorkers out of it.
