We get universal healthcare because Mamdani convinces Trump that it will destroy Obama’s legacy and he can call it TrumpCare forever. A lasting legacy that Trump is craving as his approval tanks. Honestly, there is a nonzero chance this could happen.
I told my friend that the other day. It’s a narrow possibility, but we could transfer from the worst timeline to the most absurd one as Trump becomes a full on progressive
This was the strategy a lot of foreign leaders used during his first term and it actually worked.
It was known that he was easily influenced by whoever he’d spoken to last.
What seems to have changed this time around is the people who have been able to play interference like JD Vance and Stephen Miller.
This was also a strategy that Reagan’s cabinet used with him. Basically a group of men nobody really elected to office, who keep the president from doing things contrary to their agenda.
To address the title, perhaps regular communication is the real 5d chess move. Maybe if Mamdani calls him up to chat once a week…

Every single possible trump scenario imaginable has a nonzero chance, that’s kinda one of the core Trump issues imo.
