Just weeks ago, Donald Trump announced that Zohran Mamdani is “off to a bad start” after the Mayor-elect called him out in his victory speech. But after this Friday’s meeting, the president appears to be head over heels in love with the dashing mayor-elect.
The smiley faces Trump gave out during the press gaggle with Mamdani in the Oval Office are plastered all over the internet. We don’t know what magic Mamdani used on him, but it worked wonders. Though it’s not unusual for political opponents to act civilly in person despite trashing each other otherwise, the sparks of chemistry flew in the room during Trump and Mamdani’s Nov. 21 meeting.
