After high-profile missteps, Trump seizes on a new feud and a new potential adversary
Whenever Donald Trump is in political trouble, he seeks a fight and a foil.
He will get both on Friday after one of the most misjudged weeks of his two presidencies, after his own choices eroded his political authority over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Trump is embroiled in a bitter new feud with Democrats over national security, provocative rhetoric and presidential power that he deliberately turned nuclear. And at a White House meeting Friday, he’ll go head-to-head with the next mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist he’s planning to brand as the unacceptable “communist” face of the Democratic Party next year.
