Trump 5 mins after meeting Mamdani "We're going to be looking into the means of production, they gotta be seized, we'll have the best people do the seizing. You know the current thing with the means of production is so bad, just the worst, gotta change. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to
