Yeah. I think in keeping with his making the dumbest possible decision at all times, he’s more or less just thinking “Well I want to be with the right gang, Trump’s the right gang, he did me a favor so I’ll do him a favor by not being with his enemy gang.”

On the other hand, I think the chances of him getting reelected in an honest election were tiny anyway, so it doesn’t really matter. He’s probably positioning himself to be installed as something other than NYC mayor, and being in Trump’s good graces is probably a good strategy for that, since with the voters he’s cooked regardless.
