1. La Comprensión Mutua del Poder y el Carisma.
Muchos comentaristas sugieren que tanto Mamdani como Trump entienden y respetan el carisma y el poder político como herramientas fundamentales, lo que explica la aparente cordialidad inicial entre ellos.
- Mamdani, like trump, understands charisma as a political power.
- Trump admires perceived winners. Mamdani has the charisma he has always longed for. He knows a power when he sees one.
- Trump digs star power. He recognizes it mamdani, which puts him 100 steps ahead of the dnc.
- Trump is attracted to power and popularity. Mamdami is on his way to obtaining more and more of the former, and is rife with the latter. Qed the simpering fool.
2. Dinámicas de Autoridad y Lenguaje Corporal.
La reunión en la Casa Blanca generó un intenso debate sobre las señales visuales de dominación, particularmente el hecho de que Mamdani estuviera de pie mientras Trump estaba sentado.
- During their meeting today, mamdani held the power position over trump. He was not only standing next to trump, who was seated, but he was towering over him.
- I think the old man president may regret remaining seated. Beside it getting much harder for trump to do anything other than sit cover his right hand, i think he thinks its making others pay homage to him.
- The entire trump power dynamic of sitting while everyone else is standing got completely reversed by mamdani.
- In body language readings it is commonly observed that the person standing is in the power position. The person sitting is subservient.
3. La Estrategia de Mamdani: Desmantelar las Condiciones del Poder.
Los partidarios de Mamdani ven su enfoque no como una capitulación, sino como una táctica calculada para desarmar a un "déspota" al demostrar fuerza y enfocarse en desmantelar las bases que permitieron el ascenso de Trump.
- If anyone can show a nation betrayed by donald trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.
- We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves.
- If there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.
- Mamdani took away trumps power to attack from afar and through social media.
4. El Poder de la Alcaldía de Nueva York y las Amenazas Federales.
Se reconoce que, a pesar del poder presidencial, la popularidad y la base de apoyo de Mamdani en Nueva York le otorgan una influencia significativa, especialmente considerando los intereses inmobiliarios de Trump en la ciudad.
- Trump respects power and authority. Unlike most of the dem leaders, mamdani is direct and doesnt hold back.
- Trump knows mamdani has more sway right now in nyc so trump wants to collect some of that goodwill by being cute and kinda self effacing in public with the mayor-elect but nothing has changed.
- Trump has so much power to wreak budgetary havoc on nyc too, and had promised to if mamdani won. So maybe he was trying to defuse that.
- If mamdani fails, its because the candidates hes endorsing backstabbed him, and he thought begging for charity from liberals was a better way to accomplish goals than building power and endorsing allies.
5. Críticas y Escepticismo sobre la Normalización.
A pesar de la victoria percibida de Mamdani en la interacción, muchos expresan preocupación de que reunirse con Trump legitime su administración y temen que el pragmatismo de Mamdani lo lleve a comprometer sus promesas progresistas.
- I frankly think i just dont like that mamdani met with trump just like i hate this photo of biden with him.
- But talking to trump legitimizes the administration. Sure, but trump is the potus. He has an enormous amount of power.
- Symbols and reputations are reshaped by power. The mamdanitrump meeting mirrors how swastikas and nooses were repurposed trump seeks to redefine his image by turning a critic into a partner, while mamdani risks being seen as complicit despite advocating for new yorkers.
- I think the choice isnt mamdani or nothing, its mamdani or us.
