Trump said he would even be comfortable moving back to New York City and living there with Mamdani as mayor, saying he was surprised how much they had in common.
For months, Donald Trump warned New Yorkers against electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor, referring to him as a “communist lunatic.” Mamdani, meanwhile, called Trump a “despot.”
All of that was put aside in an extraordinary Oval Office get-together Friday, the first face-to-face meeting between the two men.
Trump, who sought to kneecap Mamdani during the campaign, was exceedingly complimentary of the self-described democratic socialist, while Mamdani repeatedly talked up his hope that he and the president could work together to lower costs for New Yorkers.
I’m wondering if trump is waking up and realizing his endorsements actually hurt people instead of helping them.
He might be trying to use reverse-psychology on us to get us to hate Mamdani.
no, dude just like shiny things and being in the spotlot.
mandani was making very thinky veiled jokes at his expense for that whole presser and he didn’t realize, he really is so far gone that he just repeats whatever was last said to him
