The president’s Oval Office meeting with New York’s incoming leader is not open to the press.

Trump, 79, frequently invites reporters into the Oval Office for a front-seat view as he sits down with U.S. and world leaders, but, according to his schedule, the media was barred from his first meeting with Mamdani, the Democratic socialist 45 years his junior.

Their first face-to-face comes after Trump lobbed a series of nasty attacks on the political upstart who mounted an underdog campaign and went on to win the race to lead the largest city in the U.S.

Trump has blasted Mamdani as a “communist lunatic” and “not very smart.” He falsely accused him of being in the country illegally, threatened to arrest him, and warned that he would cut off money to New York if he won.

    press secretary

    Democrat Party

    This is the fucking press secretary talking like a child. It’s like hearing an adult that still mispronounces words and says things like “supposably” instead of supposedly. They also think it’s some big own, but collectively, they all look like children and I want to see the press grow a spine and ask them why they do this. I mean, Donvict is calling them “piggy” and other insults anyway, they might as well ask about this as well.

    Start shaming these motherfuckers, even over what is something others might call “trivial” - this is an orchestrated thing and has been for decades.

    Imagine if every single Democratic politician, every single talking head, everywhere were to sync up on a misnomer for the Republican Party and start using that. It is not like it would not pass without comment, but for some reason, all these assholes, from the very top, always and constantly walk around saying “Democrat Party” with a shit-eating grin on their face. They know what they are doing, and NOT commenting on it is not doing anyone any favors.
