One of the sillier sideshows of local politics is Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul’s contest over who gave President Donald Trump the biggest earful over Operation Absolute Resolve.

Just a few hours after the raid to capture criminal Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, the leader of the Free World put everything on hold (at least as Mamdani tells it) to be scolded by the mayor about his egregious “violation of federal international law.”

Mamdani said he’d been “briefed” on the raid before giving the prez an earful; the mayor later had to admit that did not mean getting looped in by top US intelligence figures — turns out he doesn’t (yet, if ever) have the security clearance for that.

Nope: His staff just told him what was in the news.

But just because nobody in Washington called him didn’t mean he couldn’t call the president!

“I called the president and spoke with him directly to register my opposition to this act,” Mamdani bragged, “and to make clear that it was an opposition based on being opposed. . . . I registered my opposition. I made it clear, and we left it at that.”

Left it at that, eh?

You have to wonder: Trump doesn’t strike us as a guy who’d sit in abashed silence while being lectured to by the boy wonder about “federal international law,” whatever that is.

Maybe he just wasn’t listening, assuming the conversation actually happened.

Funnier still, Hochul felt compelled to get in the game: On Monday she said she too had taken Trump to task about Venezuela.

At a presser, Hochul recalled bugging Trump about congestion pricing, the Gateway tunnel project and the redevelopment of Penn Station — but. when pressed about how the prez responded, grew suddenly vague.

“I just kind of talked about Venezuela and all kinds of things,” said the gov. “These things are kind of surreal. But I just said I disagree. You know, this has got to go to Congress, you’ve got to get authority . . .”

What a week for the prez, with lectures about “federal international law” from a committed socialist mayor and the separation of powers from an always-split-the-difference governor.

And to hear them tell it, Donald Trump was rendered speechless both times. Hmm . . .
