Trump and Mamdani Battle for the Populist Crown

Tune in on July 15 at 6:20 p.m. Eastern to hear four co-hosts' unflinching critiques of the latest in politics, culture, and whatever fresh hell awaits us all.

Trump and Mamdani Battle for the Populist Crown

Join us on July 15 at 6:20 E.T. to hear from Reason's Peter Suderman, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Nick Gillespie, and Matt Welch for a live episode of The Reason Roundtable from New York City.

It will be a night of unscripted, uncensored, and unhinged conversation about whatever the hell is happening in America this week—including the bizarre reality that President Donald Trump and New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani each represent a kind of populism. What does it mean when a word applies to both a billionaire president and a leftist intellectual? Chaos, apparently. You don't want to miss this. Watch live on Youtube here.

Those late fees are gonna be HUGE!

[Don't look at me! ( Is the war over yet?)]

Be kind, and rewind.

"What does it mean when a word applies to both a billionaire president and a leftist intellectual?"

It means that word doesn't mean what you think it means.

(And 'leftist intellectual' is a gross misspelling of "communist".)

Lots of Leftist Intellectuals are among the most fervent anti-communists you will ever find.

[Don't look at me! ( Is the war over yet?)]

HAHA.

That's like asserting lots of cows are anti-grass. Charliehall fails again.

[Dillinger]

>>leftist intellectual?

jfc ... tell your audience you're clueless before you even begin.

[TrickyVic (old school)]

Democracy is a popularity contest.

[charliehall]

Never Trump. Never Mamdani.

[Idaho-Bob]

You already have Trump. Twice in fact.

[sarcasmic]

I'm sure he'll get your vote when he runs again.

[JesseAz (Prime Meanster of Sarcasia)]

Thanks most loyal viewer of MSNBC.

[Kungpowderfinger]

BOAF SIDEZ!!!

I’d submit that the main thing Trump and Marxist McDreamy have in common is that they’re both results of the hole the fucking Democrats have dug for themselves.

I hope Biden still has enough cog ability to be laughing himself silly at all this.

[JesseAz (Prime Meanster of Sarcasia)]

Populist! Drink!
