No love lost! As this title of our blog describes the Mamdani-Trump meeting, both bete-noirs of each other, you can put a comma anywhere, and the meaning would be rather rich. Yes, you can say, 'no, love lost' or 'no love, lost' and, of course, 'no love lost', and each one of these variations would truly mean much about the meet!
Oh, yes, the meet was sure to attract attention. It is the stuff fireworks are made of as Trump called Mamdani "a radical left lunatic", while Trump got a return gift of the "fascist" epithet.
Well, there was no Zelensky effect at all. Instead, they were chummy with each other like long lost buddies, even more than the two cousins whom the whole of Maharashtra knows. May be, the New York bond fastens thicker than Fevicol!
The meet can best be described by the Potus declaration; namely, "the better he does, the happier I am." Hope the bonhomie burieth below "Ground Zero" not, when it comes to actual praxis!
Pratima@Mr. Tharoor describes the meet as a fine exhibit of democracy. Great for those at the top to be so very large-hearted. One wonders what happens to the followers at the bottom of the pyramid who clashed violently with each other for the sake of their leaders! No love lost (for the chameleon leader either) at that level, I suppose!
Quote of the day: "Never under-estimate," says Dan Brown, "the ego of a politician."
Word of the day: Chameleon. A Zoology expert would describe a chameleon as a lizard that changes its colours as a 'protection gear'. Symbolically, a chameleon refers to people who change their opinions and behaviours to suit convenience!
