Trump likes charismatic people who don't criticize him and know the art of flattery. And mobsters.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Mamdani was briefed on Trump by a trained psychologist before the meeting.

It's more likely he had to see one after the meeting, honestly.

Seriously. The man has been campaiging in new york everyday for a year, talking to tens of thousands of people.

Yall just need basic people skills to charm a narcissist. Just compliment their insecurities, agree enthusiasticlly with their bullshit, let them talk, smile and nod. If possible, never ever talk to them again.

I learned from a few years of working with deep south boomer narcissists that you can basically own their budget if you know how to make them think your idea was their idea, and its not hard at all to do that.

"Hey <Boomer>, remember when you brought up <idea>? (They don't remember because it's actually your novel idea, but they'll never admit that.) I think your <idea> would be really great because [some reason with numbers, jargon, and the word man-hours]"

Seriously. It works almost as well as being an attractive young woman in terms of how much it lets you manipulate them (which is creepy on its face, but I've got mad respect for the women I've worked with who knew how to exploit boomer creepiness into puppeteering them)
