France 24 English takes a look at how mainstream American media have treated #ZohranMamdani
Since he has so decisively been elected #MayorMamdani we can expect that they will learn some lessons, make some adjustments...but it is probably too much to expect that they will learn the right lessons, make the appropriate adjustments.
They will only gradually, perhaps only retrospectively, learn to #UnderstandMamdani

I've yet to fully absorb, let alone analyze, last Friday's meeting between #ZohranMamdani and Donald Trump...

"Axios claims that it’s 'red alert' time for Trump and the GOP. Politico describes how Republicans are getting routed in school board races, a sign that MAGA culture-warring has lost its sway and is even backfiring. And one CNN analyst offers a brutal reading of recent approval numbers on Trump, pronouncing them 'atrocious.'”

"A flurry of social media posts from Maga influencers have laid bare the disorientation felt by members of Trump’s base at the spectacle of Friday’s cordial Oval Office meeting with Mamdani, who the president previously painted as a 'communist lunatic'."

"Trump’s job approval in Fox News polling, the most widely seen of all their polls, has gone from 52%-46% in January to 41%-58% last week. This is a 23 point drop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"'I’m a little confused,' she continued, 'because, like, I need to know for the sake of my own edification what the administration’s stance is on Mamdani.'”
Poor Laura: she's "a little" confused.
"With Trump openly praising a Democratic socialist while the avatar of 'America First' resigns from Congress and walks away, MAGA is left with existential questions. It feels bereft of any core values; there is just blind loyalty to Trump."

Trump SWOONS Over Zohran in Surreal Oval Office Presser
I'm thinking that Andrew Cuomo is spinning in his political grave.
Trump's praise for Mamdani upends Republican talking points, explodes heads across political spectrum
Republicans and pro-Trump media outlets were gravely disappointed by the lack of fireworks at Friday’s Oval Office meeting between New York’s mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, and Queens native Donald Trump, who had attacked the democratic socialist as a “100% Communist lunatic,” before showering him with praise at the meeting Mamdani requested.
