Members of rightwing base disorientated by cordial Oval Office meeting – but not all Trump supporters downcast

A flurry of social media posts from MAGA influencers have laid bare the disorientation felt by members of Trump’s base at the spectacle of Friday’s cordial Oval Office meeting with Mamdani, who the president previously painted as a “communist lunatic”.

“Wild to allow a jihadist communist to stand behind the president’s desk in the Oval Office. Sad to see,” wrote far-right activist Laura Loomer, one of Trump’s most fervent online backers.

She returned to the theme several times. “I had to drink a bottle of ginger ale today after seeing Mamdani in the Oval Office because it physically nauseates me seeing Islamic jihadists infiltrate our government and continue to get a pass to promote Islamic jihad and anti-American values with zero push back,” Loomer wrote.

    They’ll go silent for a few days, then cognitively dissociate from this and him blowing clinton, then resume regularly scheduled xenophobic programming. Hate is easy and engrained. We were screwed before long covid docked everyone down to room temp IQs… now? Now it’s a race to the bottom.

    TL;DR: Ow, my balls! (Brought to you by Brawndo – it’s got what plants crave!)

      I’m curious to know what happened but, as a sane person who understands and accepts that Trump’s mental state is in complete disarray, I’m not exactly confused.

      For all the people who still believe that Trump is a super strong, super smart, all-American mega patriot who loves capitalism and hates brown people this must be bewildering. And with all the jokes about him swooning over Mamdani I mean damn, their MAGA leader being in love with a muslim, african immigrant man must be breaking them.
