So, Zoram Mamdani is currently out of the country visiting relatives

He posted on social media that he is visiting family and friends in Uganda. This has me worried that the Trump administration will try to mess with him when he flies back. After all, they were already "exploring" ways to strip him of his citizenship.

Maybe they'll even hold him for a few days, just because they can. But he probably knows that and is expecting it.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

Mamdani's use of social media is a master class on how to troll your haters and rivals that of AOC's.
