Is Mamdani a socialist, a communist, a jihadist, yada yada yada?

Trump doesn't care. What he wants to know is, is he a star (and, very important as a follow-up: does he seem to like me and thus confirm that I, too, am a star)?

Wasn't this guy going to be the dean of a supposed law school? Didn't he make elaborate legal arguments for overturning the 2021 election? Seems like he could parse the president's one-sentence statement for himself
