Mamdani really should focus on NYC instead of building up the international left.

The New York City mayor is taking advantage of the U.N. gathering, even as it poses political risks in his backyard.

Big update: Trump is furious. The media is standing up to him united. His press conferences have no sound. CNN/Politico/MS Now are suing him and get a good judge.

So what does he do? He launches "Trump TV" -- Your taxpayer funded TV network. More on his meeting with Mamdani and the other news:

Mamdani, leaning in, seemed to really be enjoying his meeting with the authoritarian Donald Trump today.

Leftist Zohran Mamdani is literally giving Trump press access on a day in which Trump has no other press access because of his authoritarian treatment of the free press in our country. Mamdani is so incredibly overrated.
But to the leftists, it was indefensible that @kamalaharris.com campaigned with the anti-Trump @lizcheney.bsky.social.

Mamdani has consistently shown himself to be a useful idiot for Trump. Mamdani repeatedly normalizes Trump and did so again today. There is absolutely no excuse for Mamdani having crossed the national media’s picket line to get on camera with Trump.
“Having a conversation about potentially building 12,000 homes”

I mean yeah he sure knows about that. He probably wouldn’t have let your parents rent from him. There was a lawsuit about it.

Why the f would Mamdani agree to do a press conference with Trump when Trump has banned national media outlets from his White House?! I’ll tell you why…because Mamdani is who I and other non-leftist Dems have always said he is.

I never want to hear another word from leftists complaining about @kamalaharris.com campaigning with the anti-Trump @lizcheney.bsky.social.
Leftists, your hero Zohran Mamdani just did the equivalent of crossing a picket line in choosing to do a joint press conference with Trump when Trump has banned CNN, MS NOW, & Politico from the White House & the press pool is boycotting Trump today. Your hero is worse than Fox News on this issue

Leftist @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
gave Trump free publicity even though Trump has banned @cnn.com from the WH, because Mamdani can’t go a day without being in front of the cameras. So he crossed the picket line to be with Trump, & stood like a potted plant while Trump lied about the media.

The shit that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social just did in holding a joint press conference with Trump undercuts the national press and normalizes Trump. Absolutely shameful, indefensible, picket-line-crossing behavior by @mayor.nyc.gov today.
