Trump Has a New Bestie

MTG says goodbye to love, Zohran Cha

I’m in no signal land, so when I turned on the Starlink to see if I had any work to do, lo and behold Trump has a man crush on Mamdani, and MTG decided to pull the ripcord.

I don’t think either of these events require a bunch of analysis. Trump is always charmed by the last person in the room, and Mamdani is charming. MTG was spurned by Trump and really doesn’t have a short-term play. She’s quitting one day after she’s eligible for a pension, even though she’s rich, so that’s on-brand for MAGA.

In case you, too, were blissfully ignorant of this dumb stuff, here’s a little context:

hard launch. on truth social. mamdani broke his brain.

We hereby retire the “record scratch-Freeze frame-You may be wondering how I got here” meme. It’s over. It will never be topped by this image.

Here’s MTG’s “there are no tomorrows for this heart of mine” video:

Here’s her full resignation letter, which is pretty much a MAGA policy statement — I’ll just pick one thing, her continued fight against COVID vaccination, but there are many others.

Marjorie Taylor Greene RESIGNS from Congress effective January 5, 2026.

She went on “The View” a few days ago and tried to appear normal, and of course the DC media fell all over itself to fawn on her (new found) reasonableness, but a patina of faked normalcy isn’t enough to cover up the fact that most of her beliefs are terrible. I’m sure we’ll see her again — she loves attention and there’s no way she’ll exit the limelight willingly.
