Ellie, I had the opposite reaction from you, sadly.

I thought “there goes Trump again, realizing he’s losing the battle everywhere, and just like a chameleon, pretends to change his colors.”

Not unexpected. It’s temporary anyway. But, I was disappointed in Mamdani. Sucking up to Trump, it appeared. I hope not.

I really hope he was trying to show the world, and MAGA, that conversation is possible, but I don’t believe either of them, now. After all, they are politicians. Still thank you so much for posting about it. As usual your writing is intriguing and one does want to read it! No matter the topic.
