My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT, 

Thanks for taking the time to meet with Zohran Kwame Mamdani (ZKM) today. I admire your willingness to talk to opponents. Please be mindful of your tendency to resort to bullying when you feel disrespected. It’s not a good look. 

You might want to ask your buddy MbS for pointers on soft-power persuasion. According to CSM, he & the other Arab State leaders helped get XJ & VVP to agree to the Gaza peace plan at the UN by using “dignified discussion & confidentiality” to resolve “disputes that might otherwise escalate under the harsh spotlight of social media polarization & global attention.” It’s takes time but can be quite effective. 

Ideally, you & ZKM will reimagine a new future for NYC. Valarie Kaur (VK) would tell you to LISTEN in order to understand rather than change or persuade him. The theory of Revolutionary Love suggests that when opponents “tend their wounds” they can “declare what is obsolete, what can be reformed, & what must be reimagined.” So best to process the rage that you feel about him being elected in the first place & being critical of you. You can then demonstrate that you are listening by repeating back what you heard with statements that begin with “so you are saying ...” Give it a try. 

Have you heard that the junta raided fraud hub Shwe Kokko detaining 346 foreign nationals, mostly Chinese, & confiscating computers, mobile phones, & other stuff? Please keep an eye on this to ensure that they continue to shut down scam centers rather than profiting from them. 

BYBS,
